CABIN PRODUCT FINDER

Is this the new La Première suite?

Both generations have only four suites. The reliable clue is the complete aircraft map: the new 312-seat layout has center suites 1D and 1H plus 60 Business seats; the previous 296-seat layout has 1E and 1F plus 58 Business seats.

TARGET CABIN

New La Première suite

Selected Boeing 777-300ER · 312 seats

Four 3.5-square-meter suites, each with a separate armchair and chaise that becomes a two-meter bed, enclosed by a floor-to-ceiling curtain and equipped with two 32-inch 4K screens.

  • Seats 1A, 1D, 1H, and 1L
  • 60 Business seats
  • 312 total seats
  • Separate chair and chaise/daybed
  • Air France's new-suite label
A four-seat La Première cabin or 777-300ER label alone does not distinguish the new suite from the previous generation.Open Air France's new La Première reveal
PREVIOUS CABIN

Previous-generation La Première

Selected Boeing 777-300ER · 296 seats

A private four-seat, 1-2-1 First Class cabin with a floor-to-ceiling curtain and a single seat plus ottoman, rather than the new suite's separate chaise/daybed.

  • Seats 1A, 1E, 1F, and 1L
  • 58 Business seats
  • 296 total seats
  • Single seat plus ottoman
  • No new-suite label
This remains La Première service, but it is not the larger 2025-generation suite. Verify the center-seat letters and total Business seat count.Open Air France's La Première cabin guide
