- To enjoy a drink, relax or chat with friends or family, each cabin on the A380 has its own bars.

 

- Air France is the first airline in the world to equip each seat in the Affaires and Voyageur cabins with a USB socket, enabling passengers to download contents such as flight schedules, information on Air France, destination guides, games for children, relaxation videos and podcasts

 

- For easier access for reduced-mobility and disabled passengers, Air France’s A380 cabin has been specially designed to include: easy-access toilets, removable armrests on 99% of seats, two on-board transfer wheelchairs, seat row numbers in Braille.

 

- The seat pattern is as follows: La Première on the upper deck (9 seats), the Affaires-Business cabin on the upper deck (80 seats) and the Voyageur-Economy cabin, located on both decks (449 seats including 106 on the upper deck).
