It seems Air France is continuing to strengthen its transatlantic/North American network, with three routes to return to the network.
From 27th March 2022, Air France will resume flights between Paris-Orly and New York JFK, with 1 daily flight. New York will thus be served by two Paris airports; Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Air France’s international hub, and Paris-Orly, with a total of up to 7 daily flights.
On the same day, the airline will resume flights from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Dallas Fort Worth (Texas), with up to 5 weekly flights.
Finally, on May 4, 2022, Air France will start operating a seasonal service between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Denver (Colorado) for the second year running, with 3 weekly flights operated.
With this move, Air France will therefore serve 14 destinations in the United States from the Paris region this summer. These are:
- Atlanta
- Boston
- Chicago
- Dallas Fort Worth
- Denver
- Detroit
- Houston
- Los Angeles
- Miami
- Minneapolis
- New York JFK
- San Francisco
- Seattle Washington D.C
The airline will offer close to 200 weekly flights, 20% more than during summer 2019. Frequencies and tickets are loaded at airfrance.com.
Check before you go and before you return
As usual, there are some restrictions in place, with the picture moving a lot more than most of us would like. Thankfully, Air France has a tool to help you meet the requirements for each destination you have on your ticket.
This is available at https://airfrance.traveldoc.aero.
In addition, the Air France “Ready to fly” service has been made available for all flights to and from the US. This free and optional service allows you to request and receive confirmation that they have all the health documents required for their trip before going to the airport. This service provides customers greater peace of mind and a smoother boarding process, by avoiding multiple checks on the day of departure.
Ready To Fly is being progressively deployed throughout the Air France network. It is currently available on more than 140 routes on departure from 80 airports, representing more than 600 daily flights including all flights to and from the United States.
