Air France adds Nashville and San Diego to US network from May 2027

Air France will add two US cities to its network from summer 2027: San Diego and Nashville. That brings its American destinations to 20. Both routes will be flown from Paris-Charles de Gaulle with Airbus A350-900 aircraft.

San Diego is first, with the inaugural flight on 3 May 2027, and Nashville follows on 14 May. Each route operates three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

The airline says it will be the only carrier flying nonstop between Paris and each city, and the only one linking Nashville to mainland Europe.

According to the airline's schedules, the San Diego flight leaves Paris at 10:10 and lands at 12:50. The return departs at 15:10 and arrives in Paris at 11:05 the next morning. Nashville flights leave Paris at 14:10 and arrive at 16:40, with the return departing at 18:55 and reaching Paris at 10:15 the following day. All times are local.

The outbound Nashville leg is numbered AF046, which the airline says refers to the 1946 birth year of country music singer Dolly Parton.

Sales open on 14 October 2026. KLM, the group's sister carrier, already flies from Amsterdam-Schiphol to San Diego with up to three weekly services.
