Air France will begin regularly scheduled nonstop flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Las Vegas (LAS) starting in April, joining its partner KLM in serving Sin City.
In a Wednesday news release, Air France confirmed it will fly an Airbus A350-900 to and from Vegas three times a week – on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. That new route won't run year-round – it will only operate between April and late October. The first flights are scheduled to take off April 15, 2026.
The A350-900 features Air France's fancy newer business class suites and will be another great option for travelers to use their points and miles to get to Europe in style.
As of publication, this new route isn't on sale just yet. But new routes often result in tons of award space and cheap fares from nose to tail, so we'll be watching closely.
It could be a win both for Vegas residents and, potentially, travelers all around the country. Given how cheap it can be to fly into Vegas, it could be a promising option to piece together a trip across the pond with a positioning flight into Sin City combined with an award ticket over to Paris.
Technically, it won't be Air France's first time touching down in the Nevada desert.
Every year since 2018, Air France has operated a handful of flights to schlep travelers to and from Vegas for the popular CES consumer tech conference hosted in early January. This year, it's scheduled more of these one-off flights than ever, with 13.
This new regularly scheduled service won't include the winter months. That means Air France is likely targeting American travelers hoping to head to Europe over the summer with this new addition.
Sister airline KLM already flies from Amsterdam (AMS) to Las Vegas year-round, but that's likely geared toward connecting travelers onward all throughout Europe.
And there are plenty of other options to get from Sin City to Europe on the calendar for next year, including:
- Aer Lingus to Dublin (DUB)
- British Airways to London-Heathrow (LHR)
- Condor and Discover to Frankfurt (FRA)
- Virgin Atlantic to both London-Heathrow and Manchester (MAN)
Both Norse Atlantic and British Airways served London-Gatwick (LGW) last year, but haven't rescheduled those flights for 2026.
With the addition of Las Vegas, Air France will fly to and from a whopping 26 North American destinations next year.
Bottom Line
Air France will serve Las Vegas (LAS) next year.
Flights will begin in mid-April and run through October 2026, giving travelers in North America and France a 26th Air France route across the Atlantic.
