Over 45 hours of original content including multiple global hit series are now available for all passengers on the airline’s long-haul flights. Customers can also enjoy free access to Apple TV directly via Air France’s new high-speed wifi portal, which is being progressively rolled out across the entire fleet. 

A prestigious Apple TV catalogue on long-haul flights 

On all its long-haul flights, Air France now offer exclusive access to a selection of Apple TV programs. 

During their trip, customers can enjoy some of the most acclaimed original series of the moment, such as Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and Severance. Series promoting French lifestyle, like Carême, are also available. Documentaries such as Prehistoric Planet and The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy, as well as children’s content including WondLa and The Snoopy Show, complete the catalogue. 

The first three episodes of each series are featured in a dedicated channel within the in-flight entertainment system. They are accessible on each passenger’s individual screen, in French and English, with subtitles and accessibility options for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. In total, 45 hours of entertainment are available, with content renewed every two months.

Air France also offers one week of free access to Apple TV content via its new high-speed wifi portal. This is an ideal way to enjoy the service on personal devices throughout the airline’s network, and to continue watching your favourite series after the flight. 

This feature, currently available via the portal, will soon be enhanced with content by Air France and Apple TV to offer travellers a bespoke trial experience exclusively on board. 

Air France is gradually rolling out its new high-speed wifi service, across its fleet, including regional aircraft. The service will be extended to all aircraft by the end of the year.
