Business Class on Air France

Air France, being the French national airline, does not just have a Business Class. No, it has something that sounds way cooler - l’Espace Affaires. You will just have to try not to get off the plane with a French accent after flying Business Class on Air France.

Before you board your flight, you can relax in the lounge which is exclusive to Business Class and First Class passengers. There are dedicated l’Espace check-in counters to speed up the process of checking your bags, too. The seats in Air France Business Class cabins were recently redesigned to offer superior comfort especially on long flights. When in their upright positions, the seats are comfortable and afford lots of personal space in all directions. Each seat features a footrest which is available regardless of what position the seat is in, which provides your legs with better support at all times. There is also a massage function built into the seat which you can program to your own personal tastes.

When you are ready to sleep, the seat in l’Espace Affaires converts into a lie-flat bed (which remains slightly angled even at its most reclined position). Most passengers have no trouble sleeping on the slight angle the lie-flat seats provide, especially with a footrest to help prop you up, and these seats are supremely comfortable for just relaxing, watching a movie or doing some work during the flight. Business Class passengers on Air France also receive a virgin wool blanket, a feather pillow, a dustbag for storing your shoes, and a complimentary goodie bag with toiletries to help you freshen up after a long flight.

Menus on Business Class feature a selection of appetizers and main courses, one of which changes every ten days, and a nice selection of wines and champagne chosen by a world famous French sommelier. (On an Air France flight, you would have expected nothing less in the wine department, right?) Some aircraft configurations also have a bar in the cabin where you can enjoy a drink or a light snack while stretching your legs a bit away from your seat.
