Air France announces new partnership with Apple TV to enhance its in-flight entertainment offer

As of January, Air France is teaming up with award-winning streaming service Apple TV to enhance its in-flight entertainment offer. Over 45 hours of original content including multiple global hit series are now available for all passengers on the airline’s long-haul flights. Customers can also enjoy free access to Apple TV directly via Air France’s new high-speed wifi portal, which is being progressively rolled out across the entire fleet. 

A prestigious Apple TV catalogue on long-haul flights 

On all its long-haul flights, Air France now offer exclusive access to a selection of Apple TV programs. 

During their trip, customers can enjoy some of the most acclaimed original series of the moment, such as Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and Severance. Series promoting French lifestyle, like Carême, are also available. Documentaries such as Prehistoric Planet and The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy, as well as children’s content including WondLa and The Snoopy Show, complete the catalogue. 

The first three episodes of each series are featured in a dedicated channel within the in-flight entertainment system. They are accessible on each passenger’s individual screen, in French and English, with subtitles and accessibility options for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. In total, 45 hours of entertainment are available, with content renewed every two months. 

Discover Apple TV via Air France’s high-speed wifi service, available soon on all flights 

Air France also offers one week of free access to Apple TV content via its new high-speed wifi portal. This is an ideal way to enjoy the service on personal devices throughout the airline’s network, and to continue watching your favourite series after the flight. 

This feature, currently available via the portal, will soon be enhanced with content by Air France and Apple TV to offer travellers a bespoke trial experience exclusively on board. 

Air France is gradually rolling out its new high-speed wifi service, across its fleet, including regional aircraft. The service will be extended to all aircraft by the end of the year.

Over 1,500 hours of in-flight entertainment 

On all long-haul flights, each passenger has access to a high-definition screen offering over 1,500 hours of on-demand entertainment. In the most recent cabins, the anti-glare screen, offering 4K quality, is equipped with a Bluetooth connection for connecting personal headphones or earphones. In addition, the airline is gradually rolling out a new touch-sensitive graphic interface on its 38,000 screens, available in 12 languages and allowing passengers to choose their programmes more easily. 

Air France’s carefully selected entertainment offer caters to diverse tastes and cultures, and is available in the original version or dubbed into multiple languages. The airline dedicates 30% of its entertainment offer to French productions, showcasing French cinema through a selection of films and series. 

In total, more than 310 films of all genres, from the most classic to the most recent, are on offer. Air France’s entertainment offer is further enhanced through exclusive partnerships (Canal+, Apple TV), providing a wide selection of series, reports, documentaries, music, podcasts, destination guides and children’s programmes. There’s also a section dedicated to well-being, where young and old alike can try their hand at meditation or chair yoga during their trip. Finally, an interactive map and an on-board camera allow users to follow the flight path and watch the take-off and landing from their seat.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
