First, of course, you’ll fly to Paris. From there, you have two options: Flying to Mexico City or to Panama City. Both flights should be operated with a Boeing 777. The last flight then will either be operated by SkyTeam member Aeromexico from Mexico or Star Alliance member Copa Airlines from Panama. On the way back, you can usually fly directly from San José to Paris, before returning to Budapest.

Before Covid-19, Air France still had 4 different business class versions, but now, as the A380 & A340 have left the fleet, only 3 remain. The business class in the A380 was no longer up to today’s standards, unlike the business class that’s installed in the Boeing 787-Dreamliner and Airbus A350, which is modern and comfortable. This business class is now continuously being installed in other Air France planes as well.
