"Paris is an attractive and highly sought after destination for U.S. travelers, especially as EU borders have reopened to U.S. residents this summer. We are looking forward to opening this route and allowing our passengers to discover or rediscover the City of Lights. Being the first affordable nonstop route option from Newark to Paris-Orly, we are convinced that price remains a decisive factor. Thanks to our model and the unrivaled performance of our A350-900 fleet, we are able to offer flights at extremely competitive prices and always in optimal comfort conditions.

THE FLEET
French bee’s flights are fully operated by four Airbus A350s, which are recognized as one of the world’s most modern and efficient aircrafts. The fuel consumption per passenger is 117 miles per gallon, making this long-haul aircraft one of the most efficient on the market.
In June 2019, French bee became the first airline to operate solely with Airbus’s newest aircraft, the ultramodern Extra Wide Body A350-900 XWB. The Airbus A350 is outfitted with the latest-generation in innovative design and technology. Mood lighting mimics sunrise and sunset with 100 percent LEDs—improving sleep quality and reducing jet lag—while French bee’s particularly quiet plane allows peaceful journeys that minimize long-haul fatigue. Comfort-focused design and engineering underpins the A350-900 aircraft, such as in cabin pressurization, temperature control, air quality, and more. With 411 seats, the aircraft offers two classes. All leather seats include adjustable headrests, USB and electrical ports, headphone plugs, and unlimited in-flight entertainment on extra-large HD touch screens.
ONBOARD EXPERIENCE
The leisure airline offers accessible fares with a tailor-made, à la carte travel experience granting passengers the unique opportunity to build their own perfect trip catering to their needs. Upon boarding, travelers are welcomed by spirited and authentically French flight attendants and crew members who ensure a comfortable international flight experience.

Bringing a Parisian experience in-flight from the moment of departure, guests can select from six à la carte meal options featuring chef-prepared meals such as the French bee “bistro chic” meal designed by Jean-Michel Lorain, a double Michelin-starred chef, that is based around the specialties of France’s main regions; basic meal; fish-based; vegetarian; teen; halal meal and kosher meal. For those celebrating together, the Instant Duo meal offers an Aperitif served before the meal, including two bottles of Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne (7 oz) and two plates of three warm and crisp canapés (spring roll, beggar’s purse and vegetable samosa). Meals are included in the Smart and Premium pricing.
