“OK Google, speak to Air France…”
“I want to know if my flight AF1234 is delayed”, “I want to know about the services onboard flight AF1234”, “I want to know the departure terminal of flight AF1234” are some of the questions customers can ask using the Google Assistant. Similarly, Air France already offers these services with Alexa, Amazon’s virtual voice assistant.

The Air France app
With seven million downloads, the Air France app is evolving constantly and offers new features to assist customers during their trip, including:
- Real-time airport access indications with geo-localisation – irrespective of the customer’s location, they can plan their commute time to the airport thanks to a multi-transport itinerary (car, public transport, etc.).
- A guided airport tour through to the boarding gate – a map is automatically offered to the customer indicating how to get to their boarding gate, making it easier for them to find their way around the airport.
- Real-time baggage tracking – each customer receives a notification informing them of the whereabouts of their baggage throughout the trip and the number of the carousel where they can collect their baggage on arrival.
