Air France adds US destinations

Passengers planning to fly with Air France in the near future can now choose from an additional 21 destinations in the US following a tie-up with Continental Airlines.

Continental has just joined the SkyTeam Alliance, of which Air France is a part, which allows airlines in the alliance to combine ticket sales and distribution functions.

For passengers, this means they can travel seamlessly between member airlines.

All passengers travelling on SkyTeam Alliance member airlines, which also include Aeromexico, Alitalia, CSA Czech Airlines, Delta Air Lines, KLM, Korean Air and Northwest, will have access to the new destinations.

Similarly, Continental Airlines' passengers will have additional access to destinations covered by the alliance.
