About Air France
Air France (IATA: AF) is the flag carrier of France, formed in 1933 through the merger of several pioneering French airlines and today part of the Air France–KLM Group following its 2004 merger with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. A founding member of the SkyTeam alliance since 2000, Air France operates from its primary hub at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), with a secondary base at Paris Orly (ORY) serving domestic and leisure routes.
Reflecting France's global ties, Air France operates one of the most extensive route networks to French overseas territories and former colonies — including the Caribbean (Martinique, Guadeloupe), the Indian Ocean (Réunion), and West and Central Africa — alongside core European and long-haul routes to North America and Asia. Air France's flagship La Première First Class cabin and dedicated Paris CDG lounge remain benchmarks for premium long-haul travel. FareOptic compares Air France fares across its network to help you find the best AF ticket price.
