Air France is set to add a direct Paris-Orlando route to its roster from spring, bolstering flight options between the US and France.
The national carrier plans to offer four flights per week between Charles de Gaulle airport and the Floridian city starting on May 21.
The flights are scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with just over 300 seats available on each flight.
It will be the 18th US destination served by Air France, and its 25th in North America.
However, in a press release announcing the flight, the carrier said the service remains subject to government approval, although this is likely to be given provided the announcement.
Tickets for the flight, which takes just under nine hours, begin from €263 one-way in economy (providing you are purchasing a return ticket alongside it, otherwise it is significantly more).
The number of flights between France and North America is steadily increasing – not just from Paris but from other French airports including Nice – with more companies opening up routes.
This includes low-cost long-haul carrier French bee, which recently announced a service to Montréal.
