Air France Connect is plunged to WiFi

Air France clarified its flight connectivity flight plan, called Air France Connect. The company, 100% of which will be equipped with wifi by 2020, will notably offer a free basic offer – the “message” pass – to which will be added two premium offers, and therefore paid.

By Florian Guillemin –

We know more about the deployment of wifi on board planes Air France. Wednesday, the company indeed specified its intentions as part of the program Air France Connect, with a marketing articulated around three offers. THE “message” pass, free, will be limited as its name suggests to messaging applications, Namely WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Imessage and WeChat. Business travelers will be able to send and receive messages for free to their colleagues or their loved ones throughout the flight.

To really browse the Internet, you will have to opt for a paid offer. THE “Surf” pass provides web browsing and consultation with its emails, with rates varying depending on the flight format: € 3 on a short-haul flights, € 5 on a medium-haul. On long-haul flights, travelers will be able to choose between a one hour package billed at € 8 (or 2700 miles), or a complete offer, covering the duration of the trip, and charged € 18 (or 6,000 miles).

Finally, to finish the new season of their Netflix series, passengers will be able to opt for the “Stream” pass. For 30 euros-or 10,000 miles-this one offers the same features as the other two offers, also with access to Internet broadband to enjoy streaming and download throughout the duration of the.

These three components participate in the same strategy called Air France Connect, which must gradually show in power. Company officials provide in particular that the portal soon integrates services and entertainment such as a Selection of films and series accessible on smartphone or tablet, and this free.

As for the company’s calendar, it provides that this Air France Connect offer is available on 22 long-haul aircraft and 8 short and medium-haul aircraft by the end of the year. In 2020, the entire Air France fleet should be equipped.

Air France accelerates the deployment of wifi on board (and with the right formula) !

After summer, last year, Air France announced the large-scale deployment of connectivity aboard all of its planes making up its long and medium-haul fleet. The tricolor airline, undeniably late on this point, had decided to take the problem with the body of the body (under the impetus in particular ofAnne Rigail, In charge of customer experience at the time) to provide its customers with an acceptable WiFi offer, often essential to business travelers. With Air France Connect, The company of the Franco-Dutch group based in Paris effectively presents a wifi offer on board.

Until now, on the long -haul network, only Dreamliner (since recently arrived within the fleet ofAir France) as well as one Boeing 777 allowed passengers to connect to the internet at altitude. However, with a pricing offer based on the volume of data consumed, the offer was not optimal: very expensive and impractical.

Air France Connect.

At the end of September 2018, the tricolor airline unveiled Air France Connect.

With this new interface, Air France announced the main lines of its new connectivity offer on board.

All fleet planes should, according to the airline plans, be equipped with WiFi by 2021 (scheduled for the end of 2020) whileAir France already promised in September to equip 22 long -haul devices And 8 medium mail aircraft.

Air France also presented the three pricing offers linked to this digital revolution. Here, the French group of the group Air France – KLM stands out from its old operating and invoicing mode by offering a redesigned pricing, more in line with the expectations of its customers.

First of all, Air France Connect introduces freeness (like Delta Air Lines for example) by allowing all its customers to exchange messages on instant messaging and other social networks discussion applications. We find WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, iMessage And WeChat.

Then two packages are marketed. The price is fixed according to the distance traveled by the device between the starting point and the destination.

The “surfing” package has three different prices:

• 3 EUR For the entire duration of the flight on the Cour Courrier network
• 5 EUR For the entire duration of the flight on the Middle Courier network
• 18 EUR for the entire duration of the flight on the long -haul network (and 8 EUR for a single time of connection)

On long haul, the package can also be obtained by exchanging miles Flying blue. The flight time is obtained against 2,700 miles, the whole flight is exchanged against 6,000 miles.

Unlike the previous pricing, Air France removes the concept of data volume exchanged. This modification is very positive, especially since the proposed price is truly accessible and reasonable. So, Air France Connect replaces the old operating mode by introducing the connection time.

The “stream” package brings together the advantages of the free package (exchanges of instant messages) and those of the “surf” package with the particularity thatAir France Connect allows improved connectivity (high speed) to watch videos in streaming or download files for example.

This package is only accessible on the long -haul network at the rate of 30 EUR (for the entire flight) or 10,000 Miles Flying Blue.

Experience on board.

Difficult to know where exactly is Air France WiFi equipment of its devices. Nevertheless, the airline is advancing well. We will try to provide you with a list of the aircraft concerned (and their corresponding registrations) soon.

Operation is optimal. The airline did everything to facilitate the approach.

First, the passenger must connect to the network ” AirfranceConnect »To benefit from WiFi. The system is available on phones, tablets and computers.

Then you should choose the desired package.

Note, passengers The first one benefit from total free wifi on board (in “stream” package, for the entire duration of the flight – that is a “gift” of a value of 30 EUR)).

If a voucher is distributed ..

… It is quite possible to connect with your name and ticket number to get free.

The connection is stable, the wifi is reactive. You can easily discuss instant discussion applications, but also surf the internet or exchange emails with attachments.

Conclusion.

Step by step, Air France will have a fleet fully equipped with wifi on board.

By the end of 2020, within two years, all the mono and bi-color planes that will be connected.

By choosing a pricing at the flight time rather than the data volume exchanged, the airline allows its customers to better control their connectivity on board. On a full flight, WiFi is efficient and accessible.

Certainly, the company was slow to achieve it.

Nevertheless, she seems to see things done well ! ��
