Air France will transfer all its New York-JFK flights to the airport’s New Terminal One in 2027 and open a new 2,700-square-metre lounge—the largest in its international network.
Spread across two levels, the lounge will accommodate more than 400 guests and serve La Première and eligible Business passengers, Flying Blue Elite Plus members, and qualifying KLM and SkyTeam customers. Business Light fares will not include access.
Facilities will include French dining areas, a bar serving French wines and champagnes, and dedicated spaces for beauty treatments, relaxation and work. Flying Blue Ultimate members will have their own reserved area.
La Première passengers will receive a personalised journey from arrival at the terminal through to boarding, alongside access to an exclusive section of the lounge with a menu created by a renowned French chef.
During the summer season, Air France operates up to six daily flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and JFK, including four using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft fitted with the new La Première cabin. Joint-venture partner Delta Air Lines operates another three daily services. Air France also flies up to twice daily between Paris and Newark.
The New Terminal One forms part of the Port Authority’s $19 billion redevelopment of JFK and will feature extensive naturally lit spaces, modern technology, and upgraded retail and dining facilities.
