Air France introduces a new business class on long-haul routes. The seats will have sliding doors, a privacy feature that was previously reserved for first-class passengers in some airlines. The new seats will be installed in the 12 Boeing 777-300 from autumn.
The design of this seat is based on the 3 'F', writes the airline: Full Flat, which means that the seat converts into a real bed almost two meters long, Full Access, which gives all passengers direct access to the aisle, and Full Privacy, which ensures optimal privacy.
The new sliding door is designed to allow passengers to create a completely private space that is not visible to other passengers in the cabin. To enhance the sense of privacy for passengers traveling together, the mid-cabin seats now feature a center panel that can be pushed down to lower to create a shared space.
The seat also features a wide, anti-glare 17,3-inch 4K high-definition screen with a noise-cancelling headset, a new Bluetooth connection that allows passengers to use their own headphones, and multiple power outlets. The upholstery of the seat provides softness and a feeling of comfort. Wool, brushed aluminum and full-grain French leather have been chosen to craft their seats.
