Air France UK & Ireland is the regional presence of France’s national carrier on airfrance.co.uk, focused on customers booking flights from the United Kingdom and Ireland. Operating from its Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub, the site sells Air France flights and many connections worldwide, and ties into the SkyTeam alliance and the Flying Blue frequent‑flyer programme for earning and using miles. The UK & Ireland web portal displays fares, route options and localized customer information for departures from British and Irish airports.

The airline offers a mix of short-haul European services and long-haul flights to Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East. Cabin choices range from Economy and Premium Economy to Business, with La Première first-class service available on a limited number of long‑haul routes. Fare families (Basic to Flex and refundable fares) determine seat selection rules, baggage allowances and change/ refund flexibility; ancillary purchases such as extra baggage, seat reservations and in‑flight meals can be added during booking or after purchase.

For UK and Irish customers the website and mobile app provide online check-in (usually opening 30 hours before departure for long-haul and 24 hours for many short-haul flights), boarding pass download, and a manage-my-booking area for changes, seat assignments and ancillary services. Customer support for bookings is available through the site’s help pages and regional phone lines; airport services include lounges for eligible premium customers and standard ground handling for Economy passengers. As with all airlines, policies for cancellations, refunds and compensation vary by fare, route and circumstances, so check the specific ticket conditions presented at purchase.
