The airline recently introduced new products and services designed to enhance the travel experience for young globetrotters.

Here’s a look at what’s on offer and how to ensure your young travellers enjoy their dining experience.

Note that the organic kids’ meal offering is only available on flights departing from Paris.

On a recent flight to New York, the children’s menu was a delightful surprise:

  • Breakfast: Baked bread, juice, apple concentrate, biscuits, yogurt, butter, and jam—all organic!

Pack Snacks and Familiar Foods

While Air France’s meals are comprehensive, bring along your child’s favorite snacks, especially on long-haul flights.

Opt for less messy options that comply with security regulations, like dried fruit, crackers, and cereal bars.

Hydration is Key

The cabin air can be dry, and children may not always recognize their thirst.

Pack a refillable water bottle to ensure your child stays hydrated throughout the flight.
