Air France: Hubs, Baggage, Check-In & Booking Guide

Air France is France's flag carrier and a founding member of the SkyTeam alliance. It operates as part of the Air France-KLM group alongside Dutch carrier KLM, with a network extending through SkyTeam partners like Delta and Korean Air.

Air France's primary hub is Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), one of Europe's largest and busiest international airports.

Air France serves destinations across Europe, North America, Africa (particularly strong connectivity to French-speaking Africa), the Caribbean, and Asia, both directly and through SkyTeam partners.

Baggage allowances vary by fare class and route, with Light fares typically the most restrictive. Confirm the current allowance for your specific fare and route before flying.

Check-in is available online, through the Air France app, at airport kiosks, or at the counter. Online check-in typically opens 30 hours before departure.

Air France offers Economy (Light, Standard, and Flex fare types), Premium Economy, Business, and La Première (a First Class product on select long-haul routes).

For bookings that include a U.S. departure, the 24-hour free cancellation window under U.S. DOT rules typically applies for bookings made at least 7 days ahead. Beyond that, change and cancellation terms depend on the specific fare purchased.
