The cabin will is equipped with In-Flight Entertainment systems, as well as onboard Wi-Fi connectivity for passengers who need to maintain a connection on the move.
With the airline returning to Seattle, it seems that demand is growing demand for connectivity. The flight itself will be operated in connection with joint venture partner Delta Air Lines.
Delta is also boosting its operations out of Seattle to Europe too, with services being planned to resume to the United Kingdom as part of the joint venture agreement.
Boosts to Los Angels too
Air France will also be increasing capacity to Los Angeles International Airport with the addition of two flights to reach 17 weekly flights starting 1st November 2021.

It goes without saying that the flight schedule is subject to change due to travel restrictions that may be imposed.
