French bee airline continues its rapid U.S. expansion and opens ticket sales to its first Southeast route from Miami to Paris Orly beginning December 2022.
The coastal metropolis of Miami is one of the world’s most popular destinations and now, South Floridians can experience the airline’s spirited and authentically French nonstop flight.
French bee is one of the most competitively-priced long-haul carriers since its arrival to the U.S. market with San Francisco (SFO) to Paris and Tahiti in 2018. Within the last 10 months,
French bee successfully launched two Paris routes from Los Angeles (LAX) and New York (EWR), further establishing the airline as the only nonstop carrier to bring travelers to the closest airport (ORY) to Paris, and now Miami.
French bee’s introductory fares from Miami to Paris Orly start as low as $281 each way in Basic Economy, making it the most affordable. Three hyper-customizable a la carte ticketing
tiers (Basic, Smart and Premium) allow for travelers to pay for exactly what they want while air+train packages enable passengers to build discounted itineraries beyond Paris. Plus,
French bee has an interline partnership with Alaska Airlines for travelers outside of Miami to conveniently connect from various cities.
“Paris remains one of the most desired international destinations in the world for South Floridians and with the continued growth that Miami is witnessing, we are confident that this is
the best market for our first Southeast route. We are excited about this expansion as we know that passengers will find value in booking competitive prices in the market,” says Marc Rochet, President at French bee.
“With the access that the new Miami service provides, we expect it to generate high demand, forging more economic and tourism ties between both cities.”
Beginning December 15, French bee will operate three weekly nonstop flights from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Paris Orly Airport (ORY) and increase to four flights per week by
April 2022. French bee is the only smart-cost carrier with a full Airbus fleet featuring the A350-900 aircraft and an A350-1000 aircraft, which continuously ranks among the most modern and
efficient aircrafts designed for comfortable long-haul journeys.

● Starting Price: Fares start at $281 one-way for Basic Economy and $641 one-way for Premium Economy from Miami to Paris

THE FLEET
French bee’s flights are fully operated by five Airbus A350s, which are recognized as one of the world’s most modern and efficient aircrafts allowing a reduction of 25 percent in carbon
emission compared to aircrafts of a previous generation. The Airbus A350 is outfitted with the latest generation in innovative design and technology. Mood lighting mimics sunrise and
sunset with 100 percent LEDs—improving sleep quality and reducing jet lag—while French bee’s particularly quiet plane allows peaceful journeys that minimize long-haul fatigue.
Comfort-focused design and engineering underpins French bee’s all Airbus fleet of four A350-900 and one A350-1000 aircraft (a second A350-1000 will be added by December 2022). With
411 seats, the aircraft offers two classes and in-cabin pressurization, temperature control, air quality, and more. All leather seats include adjustable headrests, USB and electrical ports,
headphone plugs, and unlimited in-flight entertainment on extra-large HD touch screens.
ALASKA AIRLINES PARTNERSHIP
For travelers outside of Miami, French bee has developed an interline partnership with Alaska Airlines. Passengers may purchase a single ticket and have access to easier travel to and from
many destinations throughout the U.S.
ONBOARD EXPERIENCE AND LOUNGE ACCESS
The leisure airline offers accessible fares with a tailor-made, à la carte travel experience granting passengers the unique opportunity to build their own perfect trip catering to their
needs.
For those celebrating together, the Instant Duo meal offers an Aperitif served before the meal, including two bottles of Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne (7 oz) and two plates of three warm and
crisp canapés (spring roll, beggar’s purse and vegetable samosa). Meals are included in the Smart and Premium pricing.
Since January 2022, French bee welcomes its passengers in a new lounge near the boarding gate at Paris-Orly 4. The Prime Class lounge offers a panoramic view of the runways and a
choice of quality services, such as complimentary Wi-Fi, hot and cold beverages, and snacks.
