Air France resumes daily Paris-Buenos Aires nonstop service on July 5 2026 using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. Flight AF428 departs Charles de Gaulle at 2355 arriving Ezeiza at 0740 the next day. Return AF429 leaves Buenos Aires at 2155 reaching Paris at 1340.
Introductory business class roundtrip fares start at 2150 euros for July travel. Economy opens at 680 euros including one checked bag and advance seat selection. The carrier projects 120000 passengers on the route in the first six months.
Service ended in March 2022 after Argentina closed borders. Recovery of bilateral trade and tourism prompted the restart alongside increased demand from French expats in South America.
Competitors including LATAM and Iberia already operate daily connections via Madrid and Sao Paulo. Air France aims to capture direct premium traffic from northern Europe.
What this means for you
Book the introductory fares before July 1 through Air France or Flying Blue to lock in lower rates. Select forward economy seats in rows 15-25 for quicker deplaning at Ezeiza.
Connect from London or Frankfurt using SkyTeam partners to avoid separate tickets. Carry proof of onward travel as Argentina requires it for entry.
The daily frequency will support more flexible 2027 winter escapes combining Buenos Aires with Patagonia extensions.
