Inside Air France’s $18,000 Suites With Five Windows and a Full Bed
You'll have roughly 40 times the amount of space as an economy passenger.
For decades, while economy air passengers are continuously getting nickel-and-dimed, those who can afford to fly in more luxurious classes have been able to choose from a variety of improving products. Airlines like Turkish Airways are bringing award-winning chefs into the airline meal culinary process, and Singapore Airlines introduced what amounts to private studio apartments in the sky.
In the last month, United Airlines unveiled next-generation suites that brought the airline’s offerings to a whole new level. The new “Polaris Studios” are even more luxurious than standard Polaris seats, and come with on-the-ground perks like private check-ins and VIP transportation between terminals.
But now, new suites from Air France outdo even Polaris Studio — and they’ll soon be available to travelers from the US.

Air France just launched the very first flights with its new “La Première” suites. They’re an offering that has been around since 2014, but the new version just became available on select flights between Paris and major metropolitan cities, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, DC, among others. However, the new La Première seats will be expanded to nearly all international flights by the end of 2026. It’s a luxury offering, emphasizing privacy, modularity, and a hassle-free VIP experience from airport arrival to landing.
Each aircraft has just four of the new suites, each with nearly 40 square feet of space. Suites have floor-to-ceiling curtains to make them more private, as well as a separate seat and chaise lounge. Together, they fold out into a full-size lay-flat bed. Each suite also has two large TV screens, high-end headphones and bluetooth connectivity, and a personal pull-out storage area with space for clothing and shoes. Passengers’ clothing and bags can be in the cabinet for most of the flight, as they’re given pajamas from French designer Jacquemus (beloved by The White Lotus costume designers) and slippers, plus high-end amenity kits. After meal time, flight attendants will transform the seating areas into beds with mattress toppers and high-end duvet blankets.
At Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, La Première guests have a private check-in lobby and an exclusive lounge complete with a beauty and wellness bar. Each guest will have a personal La Première booking agent available to assist with travel logistics before and after the flight who can book services like massages in the exclusive area of the Air France Lounge in the airport. On board meals and cocktails are curated by Michelin-starred chefs like Emmanuel Renaut (who actually has three stars), and the wine menu is curated by a Master Sommelier (of which there are only 269 in the world). Guests will also receive a travel amenity kit from French brand Sisley, which recently won the “best in-flight amenity kit” at the 2024 TravelPlus Airlines Amenity Awards.
The new offering is different from the previous versions of La Première in several ways. The center suites can be combined for couples or separated with a full-height electric partition, and overhead bins were removed to make the suites more spacious. The beds are also the longest in the sky at 6.5 feet (roughly the size of a standard king-sized bed), and guests have a full five windows per suite — each with touch dimming controls, naturally.
The starting price for a midweek round-trip ticket in Air France’s new La Première suite from New York City to Paris is approximately $18,000 for La Prmeière Basic, as of May 2025, or $25,000 for La Première Flex Extra, which includes refundability and a credit back to the airline to buy sustainable fuel.
