Air France Route Network
Air France’s network fans out from Paris to a broad international map spanning North and South America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, complemented by a dense European short-haul network feeding its hub.
Primary Hub
Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) is Air France’s primary hub, one of Europe’s busiest airports and a major connecting point between European feeder flights and long-haul international routes.
Alliance & Partner Airlines
As a founding member of SkyTeam, Air France shares codeshares, mileage earning, and lounge access with partner carriers, and operates a deep transatlantic joint venture with Delta Air Lines and Virgin Atlantic that coordinates schedules and fares on US–Europe routes.
Baggage, Seating & Onboard Amenities
A quick reference before you pack — always confirm exact allowances on your fare rules at booking, since they vary by route and cabin.
Carry-On & Personal Item
Economy fares typically include one carry-on bag plus a personal item, with slightly larger allowances in Premium Economy and Business Class.
Checked Baggage
Checked baggage allowance depends on fare class and route, with the lowest “Light” fares often excluding a checked bag by default and higher fare tiers including one or more bags on long-haul routes.
Excess Baggage Fees
Overweight, oversized, or extra bags typically incur a per-bag fee charged at check-in or online in advance — pre-paying online is usually cheaper than paying at the airport.
Seat Selection & Cabin Classes
Air France offers Economy, Premium Economy, Business, and La Première (First Class, on select routes) cabins, with seat selection sometimes chargeable on basic fares and included on higher fare tiers.
How to Find the Cheapest Air France Fares
Four habits that consistently lower what you pay.
Book in the Sweet-Spot Window
For most Air France routes, fares tend to be most competitive when booked several weeks to a few months ahead of departure, rather than at the last minute or extremely far out.
Fly Midweek and Off-Peak
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday departures are usually cheaper than Friday or Sunday, and red-eye or early-morning flights often undercut peak daytime departures.
Set Fare Alerts
Track your route and let price-drop notifications do the watching, instead of checking manually every day.
Price-Tracking Tip
Compare a fixed date range over a week or two before deciding — single-day price checks can be misleading.
Compare a fixed date range over a week or two before deciding — single-day price checks can be misleading.
Use Flexible Date Search
Searching a date range instead of one fixed day often surfaces Air France fares that are noticeably lower just one or two days earlier or later.
Check-In & Day-of-Travel
Online Check-In
Online and mobile check-in generally opens 24–48 hours before departure, letting you select or confirm your seat and download your boarding pass in advance.
Airport Arrival Times
Arrive with enough buffer for check-in, bag drop, and security — this matters more on international Aegean Airlines routes than short domestic hops.
Domestic vs. International Cutoff
International check-in and bag-drop counters usually close earlier relative to departure than domestic ones, so double-check your specific route’s cutoff.
