About Air France

Air France is one of the world's most recognisable full-service carriers, connecting Singapore to Europe, the Americas, Africa, and beyond through its extensive global network. Flying under the IATA code AF and ICAO code AFR, the airline is headquartered in Tremblay-en-France, just outside Paris, and operates as the flagship carrier of France. For Singapore travellers, Air France offers a direct gateway into the heart of Europe, with onward connections that open up hundreds of destinations across the continent and further afield.

Air France is part of the Air France-KLM Group, one of the largest airline groups in the world by revenue, and is a founding member of the SkyTeam alliance. This means that travellers booking Air France flights on Traveloka gain access to a vast partner network spanning more than 1,000 destinations worldwide, along with smooth interline connections, shared lounges, and a unified frequent flyer programme called Flying Blue, operated jointly with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

Whether you are travelling to Paris for business, connecting onward to another European capital, or planning a long-haul journey to the Americas, Air France's combination of modern aircraft, four distinct cabin classes, and a well-connected Paris hub makes it a strong option for Singapore-based travellers. This page covers everything you need to know before booking Air France flights through Traveloka — from the airline's history and fleet to baggage rules, cabin experience, and how to secure the best fares.

Airline Overview and History

The airline's roots trace back to 7 October 1933, when it was formed through the merger of five pioneering French aviation companies — Aeropostale, SGTA, CIDNA, Air Union, and Air Orient — at Le Bourget Airport near Paris. This consolidation created what was, at the time, one of the most ambitious airline networks in Europe, and by 1938 the carrier had already expanded to 85 destinations, making it the third-largest airline network in the world during that era.

A defining moment came on 2 July 1946, when the airline operated its first transatlantic flight from Paris to New York aboard a Douglas DC-4, a journey that took 23 hours and 45 minutes — a stark contrast to today's non-stop flights of around eight hours. Three decades later, in 1976, the airline entered the supersonic age, launching Concorde services jointly with British Airways and slashing the Paris-New York flight time to roughly three and a half hours, a feat that remains a landmark in commercial aviation history.

The turn of the millennium brought another major milestone: on 22 June 2000, the airline co-founded the SkyTeam alliance together with Delta Air Lines, Korean Air, and Aeromexico, laying the groundwork for one of the world's largest airline partnerships. This was followed on 5 May 2004 by the merger with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, forming the Air France-KLM Group — a combination that remains one of the largest airline groups globally by revenue to this day.

More recently, the airline has entered a period of significant renewal. Through 2025 and into 2026, it has continued to modernise its long-haul fleet with steady Airbus A350-900 deliveries, while progressively rolling out a redesigned La Premiere first-class cabin and an updated reverse-herringbone business class across its Boeing 777-300ER fleet — a retrofit programme the airline aims to substantially complete by the end of 2026. For travellers booking today, this means an increasing share of flights feature the airline's newest cabin products.

Fleet and Aircraft

Air France operates a mixed fleet of widebody aircraft for long-haul routes and narrowbody aircraft for shorter regional connections, and the composition has been shifting noticeably over the past two years as older aircraft are retired in favour of newer, more fuel-efficient types.

Long-Haul Widebody Fleet

• Airbus A350-900 — the airline's newest flagship long-haul aircraft, now numbering more than 40 in service and continuing to grow through regular deliveries. It offers fuel-efficient engines, a noticeably quieter cabin, and the latest generation of in-flight entertainment, and is steadily taking over routes previously flown by older widebodies.
• Boeing 777-300ER — the long-haul workhorse of the fleet, flown in a four-class configuration including La Premiere. Many of these aircraft are currently being retrofitted with new premium cabin interiors, including reverse-herringbone business class seats with privacy doors, with the retrofit programme targeted for substantial completion by the end of 2026.
• Boeing 777-200ER — deployed on select long-haul routes in a three-class configuration, though this type is gradually being phased out as A350-900 deliveries continue.
• Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner — used on medium-to-long-haul routes, valued for its improved cabin pressurisation and larger windows that make long flights more comfortable.
• Airbus A330-200 — still active on select medium-to-long-haul routes, but being progressively phased out of the fleet as new A350-900 aircraft are delivered.

Short and Medium-Haul Narrowbody Fleet

• Airbus A220-300 — the newest addition to the short and medium-haul fleet, prized for its superior fuel efficiency; the airline has stated ambitions to expand this fleet considerably by the end of the decade.
• Airbus A320 and A321 — the long-serving backbone of European and North African routes, though these are being gradually phased out in favour of the A220-300.

For Singapore travellers, the long-haul Singapore-Paris route is typically served by the Boeing 777-300ER, meaning passengers have a good chance of experiencing the airline's four-class cabin, including the newly retrofitted premium interiors on select departures.

Top Flight Routes

For travellers departing Singapore, the standout route is the non-stop service between Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), one of Europe's busiest and best-connected international gateways. This long-haul route runs multiple times weekly and places Singapore travellers within easy reach of the rest of Europe and, through Air France's SkyTeam partnerships, much of the world. You can book Singapore to Paris flights on Traveloka and compare fare options, schedules, and seasonal pricing trends in one place.

Once in Paris, CDG functions as Air France's principal hub, offering a dense network of onward connections that make it easy to continue your journey without doubling back through Singapore. Some of the most useful onward routes for travellers connecting through Paris include:

• Paris to London — one of the busiest short-haul corridors in Europe, ideal for travellers looking to add the UK capital to their itinerary. You can check Paris to London flight options on Traveloka when planning a multi-city trip.
• Paris to Amsterdam — a well-served connection operated within the Air France-KLM network and SkyTeam partnership, useful for travellers heading to the Netherlands or looking for further onward links across northern Europe. See Paris to Amsterdam flights on Traveloka for schedules.
• Paris to Rome — a popular leisure route connecting two of Europe's most visited capitals, easily booked as an add-on to a Singapore-Paris itinerary. Explore Paris to Rome flights on Traveloka.
• Paris to Barcelona — another well-travelled European leisure route, convenient for travellers extending their trip into Spain. View Paris to Barcelona flight options on Traveloka.
• Paris to New York — one of the world's busiest transatlantic corridors, flown multiple times daily on Air France's 777 and A350 aircraft, and a practical option for Singapore travellers looking to continue on to the US East Coast. Check Paris to New York flights on Traveloka.
• Paris to Dubai — a key Middle East connection from the Paris hub, useful for travellers building a multi-stop itinerary across Europe and the Gulf. See Paris to Dubai flights on Traveloka.

Because Air France routes all these onward connections through the same Paris hub, Singapore travellers can often build a single itinerary — Singapore to Paris, then onward to a second or even third European city — without the hassle of separate bookings on different airlines.

Baggage Allowance and Policies

Baggage allowances on Air France vary by cabin class and fare type, so it's worth checking the specifics before you pack.

Cabin Baggage

• Economy — 1 cabin bag (55 x 35 x 25cm) plus 1 personal accessory (40 x 30 x 15cm), with a combined maximum weight of 12kg. Note that the Economy Light fare does not include a cabin bag, only the personal accessory.
• Premium Economy — 2 cabin bags plus 1 personal accessory, combined maximum 12kg.
• Business — 2 cabin bags plus 1 personal accessory, combined maximum 18kg.
• La Premiere — 2 cabin bags plus 1 personal accessory, combined maximum 18kg.

Checked Baggage

• Economy Light — no checked bag included; must be purchased separately.
• Economy Standard and Flex — 1 checked bag up to 23kg.
• Premium Economy — 2 checked bags up to 23kg each.
• Business — 2 checked bags up to 32kg each.
• La Premiere — 3 checked bags up to 32kg each.

Each checked bag must not exceed 158cm in total linear dimensions (length plus width plus height). If you need to bring more than your fare's free allowance, extra baggage can be pre-purchased online at a discounted rate, or paid for at the airport at a higher rate. Bags that exceed the free allowance but remain under 32kg are subject to a route-based overweight surcharge rather than being refused outright.

Prohibited and Restricted Items

Standard international aviation security rules apply. Hazardous materials, explosives, flammable substances, and corrosives are prohibited in both cabin and checked baggage. Sharp objects such as knives and scissors longer than 6cm are permitted in checked baggage only. Lithium batteries, power banks, and e-cigarettes must be carried in cabin baggage, never checked. Liquids in cabin baggage must follow the standard rule of containers no larger than 100ml, packed together in a resealable clear bag.

Check-in Guide

Online check-in opens 30 hours before departure and closes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours before departure, depending on the route. Once checked in, your boarding pass can be downloaded to your smartphone or printed at home. If you have checked baggage, you can proceed directly to the bag-drop counter at the airport rather than queuing at a full check-in desk.

For those checking in at the airport counter, recommended arrival times are:

• Short-haul (within Europe) — at least 1.5 to 2 hours before departure.
• Long-haul (intercontinental, including the Singapore-Paris route) — at least 3 hours before departure.

Self-service kiosks are widely available at Paris CDG and many other major airports on the network, offering a quicker alternative to full-service counters for travellers without special requirements.

Cabin Classes and In-Flight Experience

Air France operates four distinct cabin classes, each designed for a different type of traveller and budget.

La Premiere (First Class)

Available on select Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, La Premiere offers fully enclosed private suites that convert into flat beds around two metres long, finished with premium leather and wood detailing and a private wardrobe. Passengers enjoy noise-cancelling headphones, multi-course dining curated with Michelin-starred input, served on fine porcelain with crystal glassware, and a large personal HD screen. On the ground, La Premiere travellers benefit from dedicated check-in, a private lounge, and limousine transfer service at Paris CDG.

Business Class

On newer aircraft, Business Class features lie-flat seats with direct aisle access arranged in a reverse-herringbone configuration — increasingly the standard as the 777-300ER retrofit programme progresses. The experience includes premium multi-course dining, an extensive wine and champagne list, French-designer amenity kits, noise-cancelling headphones, large HD touchscreens, and multiple USB and power ports. Business travellers also enjoy priority check-in, boarding, and baggage handling, plus SkyTeam lounge access at airports worldwide.

Premium Economy

Premium Economy offers wider seats, more legroom, and enhanced recline, along with a welcome drink and a premium meal service that includes hot dishes and complimentary wine. Passengers get larger personal screens, noise-cancelling headphones, an amenity kit, priority boarding, and 2 checked bags of up to 23kg each included in the fare.

Economy

Economy seats are ergonomically designed, with personal touchscreen in-flight entertainment offering more than 1,500 hours of on-demand content, including movies, TV shows, music, and games. Long-haul Economy passengers receive free meals and drinks, with special meal pre-order options available, including halal, vegetarian, vegan, kosher, and allergen-free choices. Every seat includes individual reading lights, USB charging ports, and headphone jacks.

In-Flight Entertainment and Wi-Fi

All long-haul aircraft feature advanced personal seatback screens with over 1,500 hours of on-demand content. The newest aircraft in the fleet take this further with 4K anti-glare screens and Bluetooth connectivity for personal headphones, alongside a partnership with Apple TV+ that brings exclusive original programming on board. Free high-speed Wi-Fi, branded Air France Connect, is increasingly available across the long-haul fleet, making it easier to stay connected on the Singapore-Paris route and beyond.

Passenger Policies and Special Services

Travelling with Children and Infants

Children aged 2 to 11 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or above and require their own seat and ticket; the airline seats children next to their accompanying adult at no extra charge. Infants under 2 can travel on an accompanying adult's lap at a discounted fare, with savings of up to 90% off the adult fare, and bassinets are available on long-haul flights for infants under 10kg when requested at the time of booking. A valid passport is required for all child and infant international passengers. Strollers and car seats can be checked in for free at the boarding gate.

Unaccompanied Minors (Kids Solo Service)

For domestic France flights, the unaccompanied minor service covers children aged 4 to 17; for international flights, it covers ages 5 to 17. The service provides supervision from departure through to arrival, including during connections, and requires a responsible adult to be present at both the departure and arrival airports. This is a paid service and must be booked in advance through the airline's website or customer service.

Travelling While Pregnant

Travellers in early to mid pregnancy can generally fly without restriction. The airline recommends avoiding air travel from week 37 of pregnancy onward, and for 7 days following childbirth. A medical certificate is not formally required, though consulting a doctor before flying — particularly for long-haul routes like Singapore to Paris — is recommended. Passengers with pregnancy complications should seek medical advice before booking.

Special Assistance

Comprehensive support is available for passengers with reduced mobility, visual or hearing impairment, medical conditions, or other special needs. This includes wheelchair assistance from check-in through boarding, during connections, and on arrival; priority seating near lavatories or with extra legroom; support from specially trained cabin crew; and free transport of mobility aids, including manual and electric wheelchairs. Passengers who need to bring onboard medical equipment, such as a portable oxygen concentrator, must notify the airline at least 48 hours before departure.

Reschedule, Cancellation, and Refund Policy

If your plans change, you can reschedule your Air France booking directly through Traveloka's My Booking feature. Simply open the Traveloka app or website, select your booking, choose the reschedule option, pick your new date and time, and pay any applicable fare difference or reschedule fee.

Flexible fares, such as Economy Flex and Business Flex, typically allow date changes with reduced or waived fees, while promotional and Light fares tend to come with stricter terms or higher change fees. It's worth checking your fare type before booking if flexibility is a priority.

Refund eligibility also depends on fare type:

• Fully flexible fares — cancel and receive a full refund to your original payment method.
• Standard fares — a cancellation fee is deducted from the refund amount.
• Light and promotional fares — generally non-refundable, though they may qualify for a travel voucher or credit.

Refunds typically take between 7 and 30 business days to process, depending on the payment method used. In cases where the airline initiates a cancellation or a significant schedule change, passengers are generally entitled to a full refund or a free rebooking, so it's worth checking your booking details if this happens.

Tips for Finding Cheap Flights on Traveloka

Airfares on long-haul routes like Singapore to Paris fluctuate throughout the year based on seasonality, demand, and how far in advance you book. Rather than chasing a single "cheapest" number, it's more useful to understand these patterns and use the right tools to act on them.

• Use the fare calendar. Traveloka's fare calendar lets you compare prices across different departure dates at a glance, making it easier to spot lower-fare windows around your preferred travel period.
• Set a Price Alert. If your travel dates are flexible, set up a Price Alert on your Singapore-Paris route on Traveloka and get notified when fares shift, so you can book at a moment that suits your budget.
• Book ahead for long-haul travel. Long-haul fares to Europe generally trend upward closer to departure, especially around peak periods like school holidays and year-end festivities, so earlier booking tends to offer more fare options.
• Compare fare types, not just fares. A slightly higher Economy Standard fare that includes a checked bag may work out more economical overall than a Light fare plus add-on baggage fees, once you factor in your full itinerary needs.
• Consider your onward connection together. If you're planning to continue from Paris to another European city, checking combined pricing for the full itinerary on Traveloka can sometimes reveal better overall value than booking each leg separately.

Prices for international routes are dynamic and change frequently based on demand, so the smartest approach is to monitor trends through Traveloka's tools rather than waiting for a specific static price point.
