What’s French Bee?
French Bee is a budget airline geared towards the leisure traveler. Founded in France in 2016, they broke into the US market in 2018 with their nonstop flight from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Papeete, Tahiti (PPT) and a nonstop flight from SFO to Paris Orly Airport (ORY). They increased their US presence in July 2021, flying nonstop from ORY to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).
French Bee offers two classes of service: economy and premium economy. Three fare types are available: basic, smart and premium.
Basic and smart fare passengers sit in economy class in identical seats. A basic ticket is not much more than a seat on the plane and a carry-on bag, though, with transatlantic roundtrip ticket prices starting at under $400, it’s a bona fide cheap flight.
A one-way smart fare costs approximately $70 more than basic, with a checked bag, amenity kit, and inflight meal sweetening the deal. Even if you purchase the least expensive, bare-bones basic fare, you can select customizable options to enhance your flight. You pick and pay for the options you want, for an individualized experience that caters to your needs without waste.
Premium customers have their own section in the front of the plane. While it’s not business class, it costs much less than a traditional business class seat, and even less than some premium economy seats—often under $1,000 roundtrip for transatlantic flights. Expect a roomy seat and attentive service.
