| Cabin bag added to a Basic fare within Europe, online when booking reported by Turning Left For Less (2025-07-04) Air France publishes no price: it says the price is shown when you book and depends on the destination. The starting price of EUR 15 per flight comes from press reports when Basic was launched in July 2025, and no upper price is reported. Each option covers one flight or one direction, not a return trip. Only one cabin bag per passenger. Flying Blue Gold members and above get it free. If the flight is full the bag may be put in the hold. | online, when booking | from €15 / ≈from £12.60 | per person, per flight | source, checked 2026-10-24 |

| Priority boarding (SkyPriority) inferred In economy, SkyPriority is not included on Basic, Light or Standard and is partly included on Flex. Air France's list of paid options does not include priority boarding, so it does not appear to be sold on its own. Boarding is by zone, set by cabin and Flying Blue status. | online, when booking | not published Paid for this? Tell us → | per person, per flight | source, checked 2026-10-24 |
