Air France launches 'Paris Stopover' for multi-night stays in the capital

Air France is introducing "Paris Stopover," a new program designed to transform layovers at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport into mini-vacations. Partnering with Extime Travel, the airline will offer passengers connecting through Paris the opportunity to extend their stay for up to four nights.

The paid service includes arrangements for hotels, airport transfers, and curated activities, allowing travelers to explore the French capital. This initiative aims to capitalize on Paris's appeal as a tourist destination and encourage passengers to discover the city during their journey.

Unlike some previous offers, "Paris Stopover" does not include free overnight stays or expedited passage through security checks. The program is positioned as a way for Air France to enhance the passenger experience and promote tourism, turning transit time into an opportunity for cultural immersion.
