It will soon be easier for Disney fans to travel between Walt Disney World and Disneyland Paris, as Air France is set to introduce a new transatlantic route from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Orlando.
What’s Happening:
- Air France will launch a new nonstop route connecting Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) starting May 21st, 2025.
- The route will only operate on Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays and Saturdays, making use of the Airbus A350-900, Air France’s new flagship aircraft – which provides a sophisticated travel experience across three cabins: Business, Premium, and Economy.
- The flights are as follows (in local time):
- AF096: departs Paris-Charles de Gaulle at 5:05pm, arriving in Orlando at 8:45pm
- AF097: departs Orlando at 11:00pm, arriving in Paris at 1:30pm (next day)
- This marks Air France’s reestablishment at MCO after its service previously stopped back in 2012, becoming Air France’s 18th U.S. destination.
- Air France provides seamless travel options through SkyTeam Alliance partners such as Delta Air Lines, and Aeromexico.
- Details of the flight schedule, days of operation and fares are available on airfrance.com.
