A350-900 — 324 seats across 3 cabins

Air France deploys its Airbus A350-900 in a three-class, 324-seat configuration on this route. According to One Mile at a Time, this is the airline’s legacy configuration (the newly redesigned cabin has not yet been rolled out on this route). Business class features 34 seats in a 1-2-1 layout — all with direct aisle access — with a 2-metre flat bed, 20-inch touchscreen, USB-A/C ports and Bluetooth. Premium Economy offers 24 wider seats (2-4-2) with an individual tray table and an additional checked bag included. Economy spans 266 seats (3-3-3), with a personal IFE screen, USB port and 110V power outlet.

The A350-900 burns 25% less fuel than previous-generation aircraft (A380 or B777), making it a sound choice for this nearly 11-hour route. Wi-Fi is free for active Flying Blue account holders, with a Starlink rollout across the fleet planned for late 2026.

What to know by cabin

• Business: 2m flat bed, meals created by Michelin-starred chefs, pyjamas and amenity kit included
• Premium Economy: extra checked bag, priority boarding, full meal service and seat with extended recline
• Economy: up-to-date IFE library, USB and 110V at every seat, snacks and hot meals included

Las Vegas, Nevada — The destination finally reachable nonstop

Las Vegas is far more than a casino city. According to Harry Reid International Airport, some 55 million passengers pass through the Nevada city each year, making Las Vegas one of the most visited destinations in North America.

According to Simple Flying, projections target more than 80,000 passengers in the first full year of operation.

Beyond the Strip’s casinos, the region offers exceptional national parks (Grand Canyon, 4h30 by road; Zion National Park, 2h30; Death Valley, 2h30), a culinary scene with 22 Michelin-starred restaurants and a permanent cultural and music calendar.
