The airline's service—with its steep seat reclines that makes sleeping possible, 40 inches of pitch, free noise-cancelling headphones, and priority check-in and baggage delivery—will soon be available on flights from Chicago (from June 21), Boston (July 5), Detroit (June 21), and Seattle (July 26) to Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
Thanks to introductory rates, round-trip airfares start at $1,859 all-in (from Chicago). While it isn't quite the bargain you'll find on the all-business-class airline OpenSkies, these prices are particularly enticing because Air France is flying from gateways that don't normally offer premium economy seating to Europe. (And remember that OpenSkies only flies from New York and Washington, D.C.) Other fares are a bit higher, starting at $2,030 from Boston, $2,134 from Detroit, and $2,091 from Seattle—but with non-stop economy fares to Paris this July averaging $1,200 all-in from Boston and rising as high as $2,000 from Seattle, these comfortable, forward-of-coach seats deserve a look.
You have until June 25 to book at these rates for travel through August 31, and your trip must include a Sunday night stay.
