Boarding by zone
What is a zone?
You are assigned a zone number depending on your cabin and Flying Blue status. You will find the zone number on your boarding pass. Our crew will let you know when it is time for you to board the flight, starting with zone 1 and going up to zone 5.
How can I find my zone?
Find my zone
You can find your zone on the boarding pass you received either at the airport, on our website, or via the Air France app.
At the boarding gate
Make yourself comfortable. You can only board once your zone is called. Signs indicating where your zone is are located in front of your flight's boarding gate.
