Air France adds Nashville and San Diego nonstops for summer 2027

Air France will add nonstop Paris-CDG service to Nashville and San Diego for summer 2027, and it will be the airline's first-ever service to both cities, according to an official Air France release dated Oct 8, 2026. Tickets go on sale from October 14, 2026 (as of Oct 11, 2026; confirm on the Air France corporate newsroom release linked above).

San Diego comes first. Flights start May 3, 2027, three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. AF058 leaves Paris-CDG at 10:10am and arrives in San Diego (SAN) at 12:50pm the same day. The return, AF059, leaves SAN at 3:10pm and arrives at CDG at 11:05am the next day (as of Oct 11, 2026; confirm on the Air France release).

Nashville follows on May 14, 2027, also three weekly flights on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. AF046 leaves CDG at 2:10pm and arrives in Nashville (BNA) at 4:40pm the same day. AF047 leaves BNA at 6:55pm and arrives at CDG at 10:15am the next day (as of Oct 11, 2026; confirm on the Air France release).

Both routes will use the Airbus A350-900. Air France says it will serve 20 US destinations in summer 2027. It also says it is the only airline flying nonstop from Paris to these two cities, and the only one serving Nashville from continental Europe.

New routes often show award space when schedules first load, so it makes sense to set a search or alert for Oct 14 onward and check back around then. We are not quoting award prices here, since none were published in the release. Check Flying Blue directly for what each date costs before moving any points.

The takeaway: two new nonstop options to Paris open up in May 2027, and the useful window to watch is when tickets go on sale. Schedules, start dates and on-sale timing can change, so confirm everything on Air France's official pages before you book or transfer points.
