First 7 rows of the airplane contain 28 open suites of the business class. All these seats have 180 degrees recline. Passengers travelling with babies are often seated on the seats of the 1st row because bassinets may be located on a nearby bulkhead. Location of the lavatory and galley in front may cause discomfort to passengers of these seats. But lavatory and galley located behind the seats of the 7th row is the only disadvantage of these seats.

Behind the seats of business class 3 rows of premium economy class seats are located. These seats have 2-4-2 configuration. So, there are 24 seats here. The noise from the lavatory and galley located in front may cause discomfort to passengers of the seats of the 10th row. Also these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing. Passengers travelling with infants should choose the seats 10K or 10L.

Economy class may accommodate 260 passengers. Most of the seats here have 3-4-3 configuration.

Passengers of the seats of the 18th row will feel comfortable thanks to additional space for their legs. Among disadvantages: these seats are a little narrower than standard because video monitors and tray tables are in the armrests making them immovable; there is no floor during take-off and landing. For passengers travelling with babies bassinets might be positioned on the bulkhead ahead of the seats 18AB and 18KL.

Air France designates the seats 18EFGH as Seats at the Front of the Cabin. These seats may be reserved for additional fee.

Due to missing seats in front the seats 19C and 19J have extra legroom. These seats may be selected for extra charge. But at the same time these seats are often bumped by crew members and other passengers passing by, have reduced width and have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

Proximity of the galley and lavatories will cause inconvenience to passengers of the seats 30ABC, 30 E, 31EFGH and 31JKL. Aisle position is one more disadvantage of the seats 30C and 31J because these seats may be bumped by crew members and passengers passing by. Because of the wall located behind the seats 30ABC, 31EFGH and 31JKL are less reclining than standard.

Second section of economy class seats is located behind the exit door.

Passengers of the seats 35ABC will feel comfortable thanks to additional legroom. Location of the tray tables and video monitors in the armrests reduced the width of these seats a little. Among other disadvantages: lack of floor storage during take-off and landing and close location of the lavatories and galley. Protrusion of the exit door inside reduces additional legroom of the seat 35A a little. An additional fee must be paid to reserve the seats 35ABC because these seats are designated by Air France as Seat Plus.

Passengers travelling with babies are often seated on the seats 36EFGH and 36JKL because these seats offer bassinet locations. Also passengers of these seats will take advantage of extra legroom. However, these seats are a little narrower than standard and have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

The seats 44C and 44J are often bumped by passengers and crew members passing by de to missing seats behind.

AB and KL seats of the rows 45-48 are ideal for passengers travelling with a partner. An extra fee must be paid to choose these seats.

The only disadvantage of the seats 47B, 47E, 47H and 47K is location of the lavatories and galleys behind.

Limited recline and lavatories and galleys located behind make the seats of the last 48th row bad seats.
