Air France: Flight Guide, Booking & Passenger Information

Booking Methods

You can book a flight with Air France via the official Air France website, the Air France mobile app, or authorized travel agents and global distribution systems. When booking, enter your departure and arrival cities, travel dates, preferred cabin class, and passenger details. Review fare rules, baggage allowances, and optional extras (seat selection, meals, etc.) before confirming.

Manage Booking Features

After booking, you can use the “Manage Booking” section on Air France’s site or app to change flight dates or segments (based on fare rules), add baggage or modify baggage options, select or change seats, update contact information, or request invoices and refunds if applicable. Depending on the fare class and timing, modifications may incur fees or fare differences.

Air France connects France to over 180 destinations globally, spanning Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the Middle East. Key hubs and operations include Paris-Charles de Gaulle (main international hub), Paris-Orly (regional and short-haul flights), and other French cities such as Lyon, Marseille, Nice, and Bordeaux. Popular intercontinental routes include Paris–New York, Paris–Los Angeles, Paris–Tokyo, and Paris–Dubai. As a member of SkyTeam, Air France offers code-share and alliance connectivity with partners such as KLM and Delta.

Recent upgrades include a redesigned La Première suite on select routes (e.g., Paris–New York) featuring high-end amenities and privacy. Cabin availability depends on aircraft type and route.

Air France offers structured policies for cancellations, refunds, and flight changes. Always review the fare rules of your ticket.

• For many fares, if you cancel within 24 hours of booking (and booking was made at least 2 days before departure), you may receive a full refund, subject to fare rules.
• Refundable fares allow cancellation and refund to the original payment method, subject to terms. Non-refundable fares may not be refunded but you may receive a credit, voucher, or rebook under certain fare conditions.
• If Air France cancels your flight, you are eligible for re-routing options or a full refund, consistent with European regulation EC 261/2004.
• Changes are allowed depending on fare class, timing, and route. After 24 hours, fare difference or change fees may apply. Minor name corrections are generally allowed once free of charge; major name changes are usually not permitted.

These are estimates; actual compensation depends on fare type, route, and applicable regulations.

As a carrier operating in Europe, Air France must comply with EC 261/2004 regulation when flights depart EU airports or on EU-carrier flights arriving in EU. Key rights include delay compensation, refund or re-routing for cancellations or denied boarding, and right to care (meals, refreshments, accommodation, and communication support) when delays are within the airline’s control. Exceptions apply for extraordinary circumstances.
