Orlando is set to be Air France’s newest U.S. destination.

The French flag carrier will launch nonstop service from its hub in Paris in time for the 2025 summer season. Here are the details of this new connection between Florida and France.

Air France’s New Nonstop Service to Orlando

From next summer, you’ll be able to fly nonstop from Orlando (MCO) to Paris with Air France.

When the route launches on May 21, 2025, it will be the only service connecting the 2 cities, which is surprising considering Orlando Airport acts as a gateway to Disney and Universal — some of the most visited tourist attractions in the world.

Air France will operate the route 4 times per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with the following schedule:

  • Depart Paris (CDG) at 5:05 p.m. and arrive in Orlando (MCO) at 8:45 p.m.
  • Depart Orlando (MCO) at 11 p.m. and arrive Paris (CDG) at 1:30 p.m. (+1)

Orlando joins Air France’s extensive U.S. route network as its 18th U.S. city with nonstop service from Paris.

The Airbus A350-900 jets that Air France will deploy on the route are among those that were originally configured for its now-defunct low-cost subsidiary airline Joon.

As such, the business cabin on these jets is configured differently and features slightly sub-par seats to Air France’s other A350s.

These jets have 34 seats in business class, as opposed to Air France’s more superior Airbus A350-900s which have 48 seats in business class. You’ll find these preferred cabins on more premium or business-focused routes to destinations such as New York City.

Elsewhere onboard, you’ll find 24 seats in premium economy and a massive 266 in economy.

You can expect one-way redemptions via Air France-KLM’s Flying Blue program to start at 20,000 miles in economy, 35,000 miles in premium economy, and 50,000 miles in business class.

Hot Tip:

Even if you’re based in the U.S., there are a ton of ways to earn Air France-KLM Flying Blue miles.

Meanwhile, the cheapest economy cash fare we found when searching the Air France website was around $820 round-trip.

Final Thoughts

Air France’s new route from Paris to Orlando confirms the importance of the U.S. in the airline’s eyes.

With both cities featuring high on vacationers’ wishlists, this route could prove to be a real hit for the French flag carrier.
