FROM CHECK-IN TO BOARDING, YOUR JOURNEY IS UNDER CONTROL
Anti Covid-19 measures
We are following official advice on health precautions relating to Covid-19.
Reminder: you are responsible for checking that your documents and their validity periods comply with the applicable laws and regulations.
Prior to your departure, please ensure that you are eligible to travel by checking that you have all the necessary travel documents for your departure country, destination and any stop-over countries. Find out more
Opt for Touchless Check-in
For a touchless check-in experience we highly recommend that you check-in online 48 hours before the flight (24hrs to/from the USA and Tahiti). At the airport, all you have to do is to go to the baggage drop-off area with your boarding pass.
Depending on your departure airport, your temperature may be checked using a non-contact infrared thermometer. Your temperature must be below 38°C/100.4 °F. If your temperature is higher than this, you may be denied boarding.
SAFETY FIRST ON THE GROUND AND IN THE AIR
Face mask
Wearing a mask for travel is not mandatory on board our aircraft. However, when combined with other personal safety measures, it provides effective protection against the Covid-19 virus.
Make sure to take your masks with you when you disembark. For health reasons, they must not be left in the seat pockets or on the ground. You can also use the bins available in the lavatories.
Fresh air throughout the flight
You will be flying an Airbus A350 XWB (Extra Wide Body), probably the most modern and highest-performing long-haul aircraft. Its air recirculation system consists of HEPA filters meaning High Efficiency Particulate Arresters.They have similar performance to those used in hospital operating rooms : they are able to capture viruses with a size equivalent to Covid-19 and cabin air is thus completely refreshed every 3 minutes.
For your safety, we recommend to avoid the use of personal air supply in order to limit the droplets projection.
