Disney World, Universal, and SeaWorld… Orlando is a bit of a paradise for kids and those who have never grown up. It's a fun-packed hub with many theme parks, all gathered in one place. And starting in 2025, this entertainment paradise will be even easier to reach, thanks to a new connection introduced by Air France. We’ll share all the details with you.
Immediate takeoff (or almost)
Air France is spreading its wings. The leading French airline, which already serves 18 cities in the United States (and 25 in North America), has decided to expand its reach even further, adding a new destination to its list, and it's a big one! We're talking about the city of Orlando, Florida, famous for its many amusement parks: Disney, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, King Kong, and soon Nintendo!

A destination very popular with the many fans of these various worlds, but which has only been accessible through a few connections or some super fun road trips until now. But that was before, because starting next May (and with how fast time flies, that's almost tomorrow), flights will operate to the city in the southern United States 4 times a week!
Non-negotiable schedules
To ensure this new connection, the airline will offer flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, departing from the capital at 5:05 PM and landing in Orlando 9 hours and 40 minutes later, at 8:45 PM local time. On these same days, the return flight will leave at 11 PM from the American continent, arriving at 1:30 PM the next day.n in Paris.

In total, each flight will be able to carry 326 passengers. While we may need to wait a few more months before we can head straight to Diagon Alley or to the castle of Sleeping Beauty, reservations are already open on the Air France website. And with Christmas just around the corner, who knows, this might spark some gift ideas for some of you, right?
