The Pre-flight Advent Calendar: an invitation for the entire family to travel!
While they can't wait for the summer holidays to start, the company has come up with a Pre-Flight Advent Calendar, a brand new creative experience for parents and kids to prepare their next trip together and discover all the services Air France offers for Kids.
Presented in the form of a small suitcase, the calendar will consist of 7 boxes each representing a destination and corresponding to the 7 days preceding their trip. Inside each box will be a card illustrating some of the many Air France services dedicated to children, such as priority boarding, special kids' menus, games kit, the online kiosk AF PRESS and even a tag for their favourite teddy, as well as a piece of a small wooden plane they can put together.
In this way, the first families to travel on long-haul flights departing from France this summer will all be sent a Pre-Flight Advent Calendar*. Also available in a digital version for the whole family, this will be accessible as from June 1st. This version will offer children a series of 7 cartoons. Parents will find daily tips to help their budding globetrotters prepare their journey, as well as content explaining all the various Kids services.
