Starting November, Air France has introduced new long-haul travel cabins in its Business, Premium Economy and Economy sections for flights between Seoul and France, company officials said Sunday.

It has rolled out three flights per week from Nov. 1 and will operate the new cabins daily from Nov. 21 until March 25 next year.



For the Business cabin, Air France has designed a seat that adapts to the shape of each passenger and which is adjustable from a seating position to a 2 meter-long bed. The seat folds down into a fully horizontal bed. Every seat also has direct access to the aisle with enveloping curves that protect personal space. Each seat also comes with a duvet and XXL-sized feather down pillow, along with a wide 16-inch HD touch screen.



In Premium Economy, each seat is equipped with comfortable cushions and a multi-position footrest, the company said. The seat offers 40 percent more space than in the regular Economy cabin and a 12-inch HD touch screen.

In Economy class, there are new fully revamped seats, with more legroom -- 2.5 centimeters more space for the knees -- new seat cushions, headrests, wider tray tables and completely retractable armrests.



The company said the flights have also started to offer a wider range of entertainment programs and diverse beverages such as champagne and wine to all passengers in Economy class.



Air France currently offers two daily flights to Paris in cooperation with Korean Air, and KLM has up to two daily flights to Amsterdam.
