Air France flights and information

Airline Overview

The national French carrier, Air France joined with Dutch airline KLM in 2004 to create Air France-KLM, the third-largest airline in the world. Both airlines, however, still continue to fly under their own brand names. Air France has its hub at Paris Charles de Gaulle, and headquarters at Paris Orly, Lyon and Nice. It flies to more than 180 destinations in Africa, Asia, Europe and North and South America. Most international flights depart from Paris CDG.

How to find the best deals for Air France flights

Air France's website has a Special Offers page, linked to from the homepage, which has a range of the best deals on offer. It lists the best deals available for that month, as well as a range of other deals such as flights to the US and Europe and Business Class discounts. The booking engine also displays fares for three days either side of your chosen date, so you can select the cheapest deal if you're able to be a bit flexible on dates.
