(CNN) — Air France has just launched a plush new long-haul business cabin on one of its Boeing 777-200ER planes complete with sliding doors and redesigned seats.
The airline debuted the impressive 48-seat business class cabin, first announced last year, on a flight from Paris to New York on January 20.
The new seats can be converted into a flat bed measuring almost two meters, and also come with a sliding door to create “a totally private space.”

Entertainment amenities come in the form of a 17.3-inch 4K high-definition entertainment screen, as well as noise-reducing headsets, and a Bluetooth connection allowing passengers to use their own headphones..
While all of the seats have direct access to the aisle, those in the center are fitted with a central panel that can be lowered when passengers are flying together.

Last spring, Air France revealed that 12 Boeing 777-300 ERs from its long-haul fleet would be undergoing continued refurbishment in the coming months.
The aircraft’s 48-seat premium economy is also being upgraded, with the introduction of a recliner-type seat model, already available on its Airbus A350, with 96 centimeters of legroom.
Air France is one of a number of airlines introducing luxurious new business class cabins.
According to a statement released last year, AA’s Flagship Suite seats will be available on all Airbus A321XLR and Boeing 787-9 deliveries starting in 2024.
