Attractive fares with the same Air France services
On departure from Marseille, Air France will offer one-way fares starting at €50 including tax. Tickets can be purchased as one-way tickets online, by phone, at Air France ticket offices or from a travel agent as from today, Monday 11 July 2011.
On all flights, passengers will benefit from free Air France services that are highly appreciated: one piece of baggage checked free in the hold, a choice of daily newspapers at boarding, a snack, a choice of seat, payment by credit card at no extra charge, etc. Air France is therefore preserving the same products and services that have become its trademark on this market.
