A large table d’hôte and comfortable seating allow guests to spend some time together around a self-service buffet. The menu changes throughout the day, offering a choice of hot and cold, savoury and sweet dishes. From croque-monsieur to boeuf bourguignon, French cuisine is given pride of place. Vegetarian options are also available at all times. In a more sustainable approach, Air France favours local and seasonal produce when preparing its menu. In addition, the airline pays particular attention to limiting food waste, selective sorting and recycling of its catering services. Finally, water fountains are available to limit the consumption of single-use plastic.
A large bar is also available. Dressed in blue-stained wood, this convivial space offers a selection of French wines and champagnes, spirits and cocktails prepared by a bar attendant. Local draught beers are also available.

Customers travelling in the La Première cabin between San Francisco and Paris have a private area in the lounge. With plenty of natural light thanks to its large glass façade, this unique space with its cozy atmosphere is a reflection of the experience in this exceptional cabin. It has its own restaurant and direct access to the bar. Ideal for relaxing out of sight, it also benefits from sleek, tailor-made furnishings.
Flying Blue Ultimate customers also have a space reserved for them at the entrance to the lounge.
This summer, Air France is operating up to 12 weekly flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and San Francisco airport.
