Air France is now one of the largest airlines in the world (in terms of operating revenues) following it’s merger with KLM. Whilst the integration is not quite complete many economies of scale and (surprisingly) improvements to working practices are already evident in the joined up company.
Air France Flights
We’re focussing on Air France rather than the larger merged entity and even then the figures for this massive airline are still staggering. With a dominant position at its home airport of Paris Charles de Gaulle it flights operate to every major continent.
For example, as an alternative to transiting through Madrid you can connect to direct flights from Paris to Buenos Aires (Argentina), Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo (Brazil), Santiago (Chile), Bogotá (Colombia), Cayenne (French Guiana) and Caracas (Venezuela). Special ultra French destinations include Papeete in French Polynesia, Fort de France (Martinique), Port au Prince (Haiti), Saint Martin (Dutch Antilles), Pointe a Pitre (Guadeloupe), Montreal (Canada), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), St Dennis (Reunion), Abidjan (Ivory Coast) and Hassi Messaoud (Algeria)
Air France flights to South America
What makes Air France an alternative airline despite it being part of the world’s largest carrier formed by its merger with KLM ? The Answer: we’re not recommending that you use it to fly to France (we prefer the train, Eurostar or TGV if you wish to go further than Paris) however as a ‘super cool, immaculate on-board service, the best in-flight wines and cuisine with a capital Q for quality’ way of getting to South America, Africa or anyway in the world where French is still the spoken language, we reckon that AF is the one to book.
Super cool, immaculate on-board service, the best in-flight wines and cuisine with a capital Q for quality’. ...that’s Air France.
