Seattle: a new daily direct destination for Air France

  • Artikel

From June 11th 2007 on Europeans will have another option to pick a daily direct flight from central Europe to Seattle, Washington. Air France today announced they will be having a daily direct flight from Paris Charles De Gaulle to Seattle Tacoma. The press release (French-only) can be found here.

Flight schedule will look like this:

  • Flight AF 046 : leaving Paris-CDG at 13h20 – arrival in Seattle Taco at 14h35
  • Flight AF 041 : leaving Seattle Taco at 16h55 – arrival at Paris-CDG next day at 11h40

Living in Belgium I'm used to fly British Airways (via London), Scandinavian Airlines (via Copenhagen) or KLM/Northwest Airlines (via Amsterdam). Air France is now adding another option: Paris CDG. I'm not sure if Paris CDG is better than London HR for transatlantic flights, but at least it's another option. I still prefer flying SAS to Seattle but it's quite expensive. It's a pity that I won't be able to use Air France for my next trip to Seattle - probably somewhere in April - as the flight will only be operational from June 11th.

Having another direct flight to Seattle is an excellent thing, not only for Microsoft employees but also for its customers.
