When it comes to the experience on the ground, Air France’s La Première is certainly one of the best, if not the best, on the market.
A unique but rare experience since to enjoy it you have to travel in La Première class on that day which reduces the potential opportunities and puts the thing at a consequent price level.
But if you’re a little smart, you can have a “La Première” day at a lower cost and without traveling to the end of the world.
A treatment at Biologique Recherche
The Biologique Recherche treatment offered at the lounge is one of the hallmarks of the La Première experience.
But you can also take advantage of their excellent institute on the Champs-Elysées to treat yourself without having to pay for a plane ticket.
A champagne and cold cuts aperitif at home
Do you miss the excellent cold cuts served in the lounge? You can buy directly from the supplier, Maison Laborie in Auvergne (and we do not hesitate to do so).
All accompanied by a glass of Taittinger Cuvée Alexandra of course.
Eating at Champeaux’s at Les Halles
Another hallmark of the La Première lounge is the restaurant run by Alain Ducasse’s teams and the inevitable elbow pasta with comté and black truffle. You can taste them at Champeaux, a chef’s bistro at Les Halles, for 22€.
Sleep on a cloud with Sofitel MyBed
One of the hallmarks of La Première Air France is the quality of its Sofitel MyBed bedding.
Bed bases, mattresses, bedding: you can buy everything online for your home.
This is very expensive. But at least you will enjoy it every night at home.
A day with Monique
But what would such a day be without the attentive and soothing presence of the La Première staff? For 9€ you can acquire Monique, the airline’s emblematic Playmobil. And for a price you can even put together a crew just for you!
