Air France is expanding its European operations this winter, creating improved connectivity that directly benefits travelers from North America seeking seamless access to destinations across the continent.

The carrier is ramping up service between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and major French cities, with Toulouse receiving up to 11 daily flights, Marseille up to nine and Nice up to eight. 

These enhanced domestic frequencies provide North American passengers with more flexible options for exploring France beyond Paris, with multiple daily connections ensuring convenient timing regardless of transatlantic arrival schedules.

International routes within Europe are also seeing substantial growth. 

Air France is adding an early-morning flight to London-Heathrow, bringing total daily service to seven flights and giving travelers from across the Atlantic numerous options for reaching the British capital. 

The Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Cork route will operate throughout the winter with four weekly flights, opening up Ireland’s southern region to more connectivity.

Italian destinations are receiving particular attention, with Air France adding daily flights on routes to both Milan-Linate and Milan-Malpensa. 

The Verona service will operate throughout the winter season with five weekly flights, providing access to northern Italy’s cultural and business centers. 

These additions are especially valuable for North American travelers planning multi-city European itineraries.

German and Swiss destinations are benefiting from frequency increases as well, with Düsseldorf receiving up to 6 daily flights, Munich up to five and Zurich up to four. 

This expanded network facilitates easier connections for business travelers and tourists alike heading to central Europe.

The airline is also strengthening its presence in southern destinations, with Tangier receiving up to three weekly flights throughout winter and Tenerife operating four times per week during the holiday season. 

These routes offer North American travelers convenient access to North Africa and Spain’s Canary Islands through Paris.

Complementing Air France’s mainline service, Transavia France will serve 109 destinations across 29 countries this winter through 227 routes from its Paris-Orly base. The low-cost subsidiary provides budget-conscious North American travelers with economical options for reaching secondary European cities.

Air France’s enhanced European network arrives alongside exciting news for westbound travel. 

Beginning April 15, 2026, the airline will launch direct service between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Las Vegas, operating three times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays aboard Airbus A350-900 aircraft. 

Las Vegas will become Air France’s 19th U.S. destination and 26th in North America, joining major hubs such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco.

The expanded European connectivity transforms Paris-Charles de Gaulle into an even more attractive hub for North American travelers, offering unprecedented access to destinations throughout the continent.
