Best seats
- Row 1, seat A (Business): business window seat set right against the window, in a cabin of only 14 seats.
- Row 3, seats A and L (Business): set back from the aisle, so it is more private
- Row 5, seat A (Premium): front row of Premium at the window, a bassinet position.
- Rows 11, 30–31 and 44, seats A, B, C, J, K and L (Economy): economy Comfort seat as Air France's map marks it: Air France gives these up to 10 cm (3.9 in) more space between rows and more recline
Seats to avoid
- Row 8, seats D, E, G and H (Premium): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
- Row 26, seats A, B, C, D, G, H, J, K and L (Economy): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
- Row 26, seat E (Economy): against the mid-cabin lavatories: likely limited recline and a queue.
