Air France has introduced a brand new 48-seat business class cabin for its Boeing 777-300s that offers access to all aisles, privacy doors, wireless charging and 6ft 5in daybeds.

In addition, the new counter-clockwise offering has seats in the center of the cabin, equipped with a center panel that can be lowered to create a ‘cosy space’ for passengers traveling together.

Also noteworthy is a 17.3-inch 4K high-definition anti-glare screen that passengers can enjoy using a noise-canceling headset. If they bring their own headphones, they can connect to the system via Bluetooth or a power outlet.

The seats are trimmed in wool, brushed aluminum and full-grain French leather.

The premium economy cabin, with 48 seats, is also new to the 777, but not to Air France – it’s the same setup the airline uses on its Airbus A350.

Here, each seat offers 96 cm of legroom, reclines 124 degrees, has USB A and C ports, and a 13.3-inch 4K high-definition screen with Bluetooth connectivity.

The economy cabin, meanwhile, has 273 seats that impressively share the same 13.3-inch screen as the premium economy, but the legroom is 79cm and the recline is 119 degrees.

Air France pointed out that customers boarding the plane are greeted by a backlit winged seahorse, “the epitome of the company’s founding myth and rich history.”

The first Boeing 777 equipped with the new cabins flew from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to New York-JFK on January 20, with Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and Dakar in Senegal now served by the updated aircraft.

The Points Guy UK was given a tour of the new cabin before it went into service and commented: ‘Instead of reinventing the wheel with its new business-class product, Air France took an already solid product and added more modern accents – along with some nice dashes of color.

“Things like wireless charging, 4K monitors and doors on the seat make this a desirable and competitive product. And everyone on the plane will benefit from some of these improvements – at least with the monitors and the Bluetooth audio pairing system.”

Air France said: “Thanks to this new major step in Air France’s move to the higher end of the market, all of the company’s long-haul cabins will be equipped with seats that can be converted into full-flat beds by the end of 2023, up from 90 percent Today . By that date, the entire fleet will also be equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi, up from 97 percent now.’
