Air France unveiled its Summer 2026 flight schedule (April-October 2026) and there’s a new destination on the list, Las Vegas. Nevada’s largest city and gambling capital of the world will see 3x weekly flights from the French flag carrier.
Air France is Launching Flights to Las Vegas for Summer 2026
Beginning April 15, 2026, Air France will launch direct service between Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) and Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas. The 5,442 mile journey will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays using Airbus A350-900 aircraft.

Air France will use its older configuration Airbus A350-900s on the route, featuring 324 seats across three cabins. These planes are configured with 34 Business Class, 24 Premium Economy, and 266 Economy class seats. Flights are currently on sale via the Air France website and will operate on the following schedule:
Flight | Departs | Arrives |
---|---|---|
AF56 (CDG-LAS) | 1:40p | 3:35p |
AF57 (LAS-CDG) | 5:50p | 1:05p |
The introduction of service to Las Vegas will mark the 19th Air France destination in the United States. Las Vegas joins Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York JFK, Newark, Orlando, Phoenix, Raleigh-Durham, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington D.C.
Air France partner, KLM, currently serves Las Vegas year round with up to daily service to and from its hub at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport (AMS).
My Thoughts
The addition of a flight between Paris and Las Vegas is a logical addition to a market that is already well served by European carriers. Currently, Las Vegas has transatlantic service to London (Both Heathrow and Gatwick), Frankfurt, Zurich, and Manchester. This is in addition to the aforementioned Amsterdam service on KLM.
Since KLM and Air France are partners, and part of a transatlantic joint venture with Delta and Virgin Atlantic (which flies the London Heathrow and Manchester routes), Air France should have some great insight into the current market and I have no doubt that the demand is there to make this flight a success.

Personally, I really enjoy redeeming Flying Blue miles (Air France and KLM’s loyalty program) for transatlantic travel and having another U.S. destination should open up new opportunities for travel to Europe and beyond, especially because the Air France A350 continues to elude me.
Summary
Air France is launching 3x weekly flights between Paris and Las Vegas beginning April 2026. The flights will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays using the carrier’s older configuration Airbus A350-900 aircraft. Air France partner KLM will continue to serve Las Vegas from its hub in Amsterdam.
