Air France passengers will soon experience the "French-style art of travel" when flying on the carrier's redesigned premium cabin.

Last Monday, Air France unveiled its brand new long-haul business class seat that will fly on 12 of its Boeing 777-300 aircraft starting in September.

The cabin will feature 48 seats in a 1x2x1 configuration that focus on the 3 "Fs" — Full Flat, Full Access, and Full Privacy, with each contributing to a better, more comfortable product.

According to the carrier, full flat refers to the nearly two-meter long lay-flat beds that each passenger can enjoy.

Full access means that each traveler will get direct access to the aisle, which has been a common focus for airlines in their upgraded premium cabins.

British Airways, for example, recently unveiled its new Club Suite that changed the configuration from 2x4x2 to 1x2x1 to provide aisle access for all passengers.

The last focus is full privacy, which includes a sliding door that will completely cocoon travelers and keep them hidden from their neighbors.

To further enhance the privacy of the seats in the center of the cabin, Air France has added a center panel that can rise up and down, allowing flexibility for those traveling together or solo.

Also featured is a 17.3-inch 4K anti-glare HDTV…

…a noise-canceling headset…

...plenty of storage space...

…and an all-new Bluetooth capability that allows passengers to connect their own wireless headphones. Also available is a reading light and coat hook.

The cabin has been decorated with a backlit winged seahorse, which represents the airline's history and "founding myth," according to Air France.

Moreover, the seats have been padded with wool, brushed aluminum, and full-grain French leather to create a soft, cozy feel.

The first aircraft to take off with the new business seat is an 11-year-old plane named "Fontainebleau" and will fly to New York's JFK International Airport.
