Air France increases flights between Linate and Paris (CDG) and brings Airbus A220-300 to Florence: what's new for summer 2025

Ready, set, go. Everything is more or less ready for the start of the summer 2025: It is less and less until the last Sunday in March, the day we will officially say goodbye to aviation winter. Speaking of which, Air France communicated some news about its connections in Italy.

From March 30 next, an extra link will be available between the airports of Milan-Linate e Paris-Charles de Gaulle: they will become like this 5 the daily flights between the two cities; from LIN, departures will be scheduled at 6:30 am, 09:45 am, 12:20 pm, 2:55 pm and 8:45 pm. 

During summer '24, however, from Rome (FCO) e Florence Air France will offer 7 flights per day. From FCO flights are scheduled at 06:05, 10:00, 12:35, 15:50, 16:55, 18:25 and 20:10; while from FLR flights take off at 07:00, 09:55, 10:55, 13:00, 15:20, 18:20 and 20:30. If Linate and Fiumicino are 'used to' seeing the.Airbus A220 of AF, Florence is somewhat less so: during the warm season, however, the Florentine airport will see a increase in utilization Of the short-to-medium-range gem made by Airbus. 

The French A220s (20 in total) feature a configuration of two classes: The first 8 rows consist of 38 business seats (with layout 2-3), while from the 9th row onward there are 110 tourist class seats.

As usual, let's remember that what is found in almost all short- to medium-haul aircraft of European carriers is not really business class: passengers who decide to fly business class, in fact, simply have the free middle seat, nothing more. 

Air France, during the summer of 2025, will connect 14 Italian airports with its hub in Paris CDG. Specifically, it will fly to Bari, Bologna, Catania, Cagliari, Florence, Milan-Linate, Milan-Malpensa, Naples, Olbia, Palermo, Rome (FCO), Turin, Venice, and Verona.
