As COVID cases begin to drop around the world, more and more airline companies are electing to return to their regularly scheduled programming. One of the more restricted cities in the US is about to welcome back one of their regular customers as Air France announces they will restart their flights back to New York City.
Air France Schedules Direct Flights to New York
Air France scheduled the flights to begin on March 27. France’s national carrier will fly a daily route between Orly Airport in Paris and John F. Kennedy International Airport. In addition to plans to resume service from NYC to Charles De Gaulle Airport, that brings the daily total of flights from the New York area to Paris to seven.
In addition, Air France will resume five weekly flights between Orly and Dallas-Fort Worth, and season service between Charles De Gaulle and Denver will restart on May 4 with three weekly flights. Air France will undoubtedly be doing its part to lift international travel out of its doldrums with almost 200 weekly flights from Paris to New York, Dallas, Denver, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, DC.
Air France recently announced its Ready to Fly service (which allows customers to have their travel documents checked before their flight) in July 2021 has rolled out across 140 routes from 80 airports, including service to and from the US. The airline’s current flexible booking policy means all flights booked by February 28, 2022, for travel until June 30, 2022, can be changed or canceled in return for a refundable credit voucher.
This step is one of many cities and companies are making to return the world to pre-pandemic normalcy. Travelers have clamored for that for two long years, and now Air France is ready to take Parisians to New York to grab a slice and visit the Statue of Liberty. Then return with New Yorkers bound for bagels and the Eifel Tower.
