French bee is currently operating 126 flights in November 2021, according to Cirium’s database. The carrier is flying from Paris-Orly to Newark, St-Denis, and San Francisco. It also runs the Tahiti -San Francisco route.

Next year, it will expand its West Coast presence, with the launch of a Los Angeles route to Paris-Orly beginning April 2022. French bee began selling the tickets today with introductory fares starting at US$661 each way, the carrier said in a statement.

The route between Paris Orly and Los Angeles will begin on April 9, 2022. French bee will operate four weekly nonstop flights between both airports.

The French carrier will operate the new route on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Moreover, it will increase up to six flights per week starting in July 2022.

The airline is going to use its Airbus A350-900 aircraft to operate the route.

French bee’s A350-900 can carry 411 passengers in two-class service. It has 376 seats in economy and 35 in premium economy. All leather seats include adjustable headrests, USB and electrical ports, headphone plugs, and “unlimited in-flight entertainment” on extra-large HD touch screens, advertised the carrier.

Alaska Airlines gets in the picture

French bee also has developed an interline partnership with Alaska Airlines. This alliance will allow travelers to purchase a single ticket with either of the carriers and have access to more accessible travel to and from many destinations in the United States.
