It seems that Air France thinks there are still plenty of people who are enamoured enough with Las Vegas, so much so, enough to start a non-stop service to the city.
The Las Vegas Route will be the first new destination of Air France’s Summer 2026 timetable, operating three times a week from 15th April 2026.
Planned operations are:
AF56 DEPART CDG 13:40 ARRIVE LAS 15:35 AF57 DEAPRT LAS 17:50 ARRIVE CDG 13:05+ Commences 15th April Operates Three Times a Week Flys: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays Booked Equipment: Air France Airbus A350-900
Las Vegas will become Air France’s 19th destination in the United States and 26th in North America, alongside Atlanta, Boston, Cancun, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Miami, Montreal, Minneapolis, New York JFK, New York Newark, Orlando, Ottawa, Phoenix, Quebec City, Raleigh-Durham, San Francisco, Toronto, Seattle, Vancouver, and Washington D.C.
Las Vegas is also served year-round by KLM, with up to 7 weekly flights from Amsterdam-Schiphol.
All you need’s a strong heart and a nerve of steel….
It seems Air France’s lights have been set on fire with the planned route launch to Las Vegas, with the Air France-KLM Group having a total of 10 flights a week from their hubs to the city, offering good coverage from Western Europe.
For those who want to indulge in the delights in this city, it should offer a reasonable connection over the pond and North America, direct to Las Vegas.
Just be prepared to pay a lot more for things after you arrive. Las Vegas has turned into the land of fees for… almost anything.
