Air France launching A380 to Atlanta

Air France will begin flying the Airbus A380 super jumbo jet on its Atlanta-Paris route this Sunday.

The plane will include Air France’s La Premiere suite cabin, with a seat that has a massage function and transforms into a bed with a memory foam mattress.

Air France, a joint venture partner of Delta Air Lines, starting March 31 will fly one of its two daily flights from Hartsfield-Jackson International to Paris-Charles de Gaulle on its 516-seat A380. The other daily flight will be on a Boeing 777.

It's not the first time an A380 has flown to Hartsfield-Jackson. Korean Air, for example, previously flew the A380 on its Atlanta-Seoul flight.
