Air France operates two daily flights from Paris to Singapore, using Boeing 777 aircraft (2-4-2) or the Boeing 787 (2-3-2). However, the airline’s premium economy seats on the Boeing 777 are notorious for being uncomfortable to sleep in, which could pose a challenge, particularly if your itinerary includes at least one red-eye flight. Additionally, on certain combinations, you may have the opportunity to fly the inbound flight with KLM on their Boeing 777, also featuring 2-4-2 seating.

Search & Book

This deal does not have an expiration date, but a minimum stay of six days, and a maximum stay of twelve months apply. Departures are scattered between August 2024 to July 2025.

Finding these fares is a bit difficult, as Google Flights displays inaccurate prices. To give you an indicator: Most dates that Google marks for €961 or less are actually €200 cheaper on Air France’s website.

You can also use KLM’ best price search. However, this tool only displays prices for outbound flights, and you’d still need to search for matching inbounds. While you can find similar prices on Skyscanner, we recommend purchasing them directly from the airline.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Miles & Points

Air France issues short haul flights in booking class Y, long haul segments are booking class A. SkyTeam frequent flyers can earn the following mileage from Barcelona.
