How to contact Air France customer service?

The primary way to contact Air France customer service is via their call center: +33 9 69 39 36 54. However, during peak call times, turning to direct messaging on social media may yield quicker responses. For detailed discussions of complex issues, sending an e-mail is often the best option.

This guide will empower you with effective tactics to elicit prompt responses from Air France customer service. From the ground up, let’s explore your options. Depending on the nature of your query, several channels are at your disposal:

Automated phone systems are widespread today. Trying to skip their automated menus by saying “agent” (or anything else) can only make your call longer. Instead, state your purpose slowly and clearly to ensure you’re directed to the appropriate queue.

Air France international contacts

International customer service can handle your booking just like the main call center. Instead of competing for time with the hotline in France, jump the line by dialing those in other countries — Australia, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, US — for example. Travelers report that the Air France support in those countries has much shorter wait times, sometimes just a few minutes.

As a last resort, head for the foreign language-speaking call center. It will help if you are comfortable with that language, but there’s a chance that the hotline staff also speaks English.

Air France WhatsApp number

To contact Air France via WhatsApp, use +33699385720 number. Once you’ve added the number to your contacts, you can start a conversation by sending a message.

You can use Air France WhatsApp number to get help with your reservation, get information about your flight, or ask other questions regarding your trip. It is a secure way to contact airline’s customer support, as all messages are encrypted.

Alternatively, to avoid high rates for international calls, you can use Wi-Fi calling or VoIP services.

Wi-Fi calling lets you place phone calls via a Wi-Fi network rather than a cellular network, much like WhatsApp, helping you avoid any roaming charges. Most carriers and smartphones support Wi-Fi calling, but you’ll need to enable it in your phone’s settings. Please note that Wi-Fi calling is restricted in countries like China, Egypt, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE.

VoIP apps like Skype, Viber, Google Voice or Talkatone are another way to call Air France international numbers cheaply. In a manner similar to WhatsApp, they tap into the internet to place calls. While not free, these services offer competitively low rates for calls to both landlines and mobile phones. Costs generally range between $0.01 and $0.20 per minute, subject to the country and service provider being called.

In 2017, the EU has abolished roaming charges within its territory. If you’re within the EU and you place a call to a Air France number located in the EU, it will be priced as domestic call — with a capped cost of 19 cents (plus VAT) per minute.

Air France phone numbers by city

Your regional Air France helpline often has more specific knowledge about local airports, regulations, and services. They may be able to provide more detailed and relevant information.

Most agents have good English proficiency. The regional lines will likely have representatives who are also fluent in the local language; if you feel more comfortable communicating in your first language, look for the phone number for your nearest location.

Calling a regional center means you’re likely calling within your time zone — this can make it easier to reach someone during business hours.

Third-party apps like DoNotPay can save you time by placing a call and enduring hold times on your behalf. By using tricks, the app tries to get a human on the line quickly (it has built a database of priority customer service numbers). Then it calls you back and connects you to the agent. DoNotPay is a paid service and currently supports US numbers only (expansion to other countries is underway).

Air France email address

Reach out to Air France at this email address: customer-care@airfrance.fr. This is the primary email address for airline’s customer service, suitable for providing feedback or making inquiries.

Alternatively, you can reach out to one of airline’s local offices. Some of these branches openly share their email addresses online, providing a more localized channel for correspondence.

Email addresses by department

If your inquiry go beyond general customer support, contacting a specific department within the airline may be necessary. We’ve compiled these special-purpose email addresses in the table below. Nonetheless, always respect the contact methods provided by Air France — only reach out to the relevant department for your inquiry.

Email addresses by department
CountryAir France Email Address
Customer CareCustomer-care@airfrance.fr
FlyingBlueFlyingBlue@airfrance-klm.com
Cargocustomerservice.cdg@afklcargo.com

If you want to send an email to one of Air France’s employees, try the popular email format used by many companies: First.Last@airfrance.com. For example, to email Jane Doe who works at the airline, use Jane.Doe@airfrance.com.

Air France sales and ticketing offices

Air France ticketing and sales offices are often found in major cities and airports. They provide essential services such as ticket reservations, flight rescheduling, cancellations, frequent flyer award tickets, and information about various services offered by the airline. When you encounter a problem with your booking that can’t be resolved online, the sales office is the right place to seek assistance.

Here’s the list of Air France offices and regional branches around the world:

Paris (France)

Phone: +01 41 56 78 00

Air France live chat

Air France does not provide customer support via live chat. Alternatively, you can chat with their live agent (human support representative) using instant messaging on Facebook Messenger or Twitter.

Live chat is a tool that connects customers with an actual human representative — live agent — via instant messaging in a browser window. It is often the fastest way to get help from the airline, substantially minimizing wait times (compared to call centers).

Integrating a bot with live chat gives customers an additional tool in beginning the support conversation. Chatbots — especially those powered by A.I. — can read customer inquiries and automatically respond with the relevant information. Live chat bots reduce the waiting time to virtually nil.

The adoption of live chat and chatbots varies among airlines, as it requires not just the technical infrastructure, but also staff training. This could potentially explain why Air France has not yet introduced live chat for its passengers.

For security reasons, live chat agents cannot proces sensitive payment information. To make purchases (like ticket changes or additional baggage), you’ll be redirected to a secure payment portal or advised to call Air France directly.

Feedback: How to file a formal complaint?

To formally lodge a complaint with Air France, begin by using the carrier’s designated feedback channels. Detailed instructions for reporting problems can be found on their official website. Retain all pertinent documents — boarding passes, receipts, tickets, and email correspondences — as they may be needed to support your case.

Air France does not provide an email address that could be used to send a feedback or compalints. To file a formal complaint, you can use the online form on the airfrance.com website. Remember to include the necessary details, clearly stating the nature of your complaint. Air France will reply to your complaint within a few working days.

For direct, pesonal assistance, passengers wishing to share their feedback or discuss encountered issues can speak to a representative by dialing +33 9 69 39 36 54.

If your complaint isn’t addressed satisfactorily, you may escalate it by writing a detailed letter outlining your complaint and the resolution you seek. Send it to this postal address:


MTV Médiation Tourisme Voyage
BP 80303
75823 Paris Cedex 17

If all else fails, email the CEO. Write a polite complaint email briefly explaining your situation and kindly requesting their assistance. While the CEO may not personally respond, their team usually takes prompt action. Often, the outcome can be even better than what you had hoped for. Use services like Hunter.io or Spokeo to find the email address of the Air France CEO.

Premium hotline
for Flying Blue members

Flying Blue, Air France‘s loyalty program provides dedicated phone number for members, with shorter waiting times than the standard hotline. If you are a Flying Blue member with Explorer, Silver, Gold, Platinum status, you can dial +33 9 69 39 36 54 to reach frequent flyer program (FFP) customer service in France.

Dedicated customer service for the Flying Blue FFP can assist you with verifying your reward point balance, making flight reservations, processing the flight redemption and upgrades, or just addressing any queries you might have about the loyalty program.

Alternatively, send an email to FlyingBlue@airfrance-klm.com.

If you find yourself already at the airport, consider seeking aid from an airline agent at the Air France lounge. Their team is often capable of addressing same-day issues or can offer you a direct airport line, bypassing the queue. However, ensure you’re eligible for lounge access beforehand, as it’s generally reserved for top-tier frequent flyer members.

Contacting Air France on social media

Getting phone help from Air France often means long waits. So here’s our advice: before calling the helpline, try to get a quick fix by contacting them via social media — Facebook, Twitter. Many travelers are reporting that they get a faster response there. Most large airlines have teams of social media specialists; in our experience, it’s the easiest way to resolve an issue.

Craft a concise and polite message explaining your issue or inquiry. Include relevant details like your booking reference or flight information. If you don’t hear back within a reasonable timeframe, send a follow-up message.

Use this trick to contact the airline faster: mention @airfrance in a tweet about your issue. Air France team will often notice it immediately and provide an answer. It’s a method we recommend if your issue is particularly urgent.

FAQ

What is the hotline response time?

The average wait time for Air France representatives is between 5 and 50 minutes — depending on when you're calling. However, when the airline gets hit with an unprecedented wave of calls amid mass cancellations, you should be prepared for much longer waiting times.

Like most airlines, Air France employs a certain number of staff in its hotline — sufficient to serve customers under standard conditions. If these conditions change (sudden flight delays and cancellations, peak travel times such as school holidays, etc.), the airline usually allocates more resources to customer service to address the increased demand.

Where can I find Air France service desk at the airport?

Air France houses its main service desk at Charles de Gaulle Airport CDG, in Paris, France. The airport serves as the primary hub airport for the carrier, coordinating the lion's share of its flight operations. The Air France representatives at this airport desk provide comprehensive customer service for passengers: booking changes, refunds, upgrading flights, special assistance requests, etc.

Not all airports serviced by Air France maintain its help desks. Their presence depends on the airline's scale of operations, airport size, and arrangements with other airlines. Smaller airports with sparse Air France flights or those primarily catering to regional traffic may lack a dedicated service desk.

If you’re flying with the French carrier and aren’t sure whether there will be a service desk at the departure airport, check the airline’s and the airport's websites. Alternatively, contact customer service for the most up-to-date information.

Missed Air France flight contact number

If you think you're going to miss a flight, call Air France immediately at +33 9 69 39 36 54. The sooner your airline knows that you'll be late, the more options it has to fix it. Air France often charges you for a new ticket if you miss a flight, but there are important exceptions. To find out if you qualify, you need to act fast. Calling the airline ASAP can significantly increase your chances of getting rebooked on the next flight at no additional charge.

How to request a callback from Air France?

Air France does not provide a callback option. However, you can still potentially get an airline representative to call you back:

  1. Try to initiate contact by reaching out to Air France through the channels they offer — email, live chat, social media, or the hotline.
  2. Clearly state that you would prefer to be contacted by a phone call (callback)
  3. Briefly explain your issue or question; include your phone number and the best times to reach you.
  4. Follow up: if you don’t get a response within a reasonable timeframe, try reaching out again.

What is Air France Business Class contact number?

Several airlines offer premium, dedicated phone lines exclusively for their Business Class passengers — recognizing the investment they make when they opt for a higher level of comfort.

However, Air France does not offer a dedicated phone number for Business Class customers. Instead, they can contact the airline’s general customer service line. Although this might involve some waiting, the airline prioritizes assisting their high-tier customers as quickly as possible.

Should I contact my travel agent instead of CS?

Yes, if you find airline customer care burdensome, you may ask your travel agent for help. An agent can remove all that drama from your booking experience. Good travel agents have dedicated  "air teams" behind them (who have relationships with airlines) and often work via a bigger agency leveraging its robust networks and connections.

When Air France cancels a flight or makes a change to your itinerary, travel agents have the power to handle this for you on your behalf. They don’t even need to speak to the airline in most cases since they have access to the backend of a booking system and are permitted to make changes to your reservation. Sometimes, they can even “bend” the rules.

The best thing: you’ll typically pay the same price for the flight ticket. Commissions made by agents generally come from the airline side, not the customer side.

What is the location and contact for head office?

Air France’s head office is located in Paris, France:

45 rue de Paris,
95 747 Roissy CDG Cedex,
Paris,
France
Phone: +01 41 56 78 00

The headquarters oversees all other offices and branches, which report back to this 'nerve center' of operations.
