We would like to thank Air France for their trust and support.

A major innovation for inflight entertainment
Freely accessible from any device, SKYdeals is available to passengers from Air France Connect, the connectivity portal of Air France.
Considered as the future of travel retail, SKYdeals relies on two major innovations.
The first marketplace dedicated to travelers currently flying which allows brands to promote preferred offers to passengers available during the time of their flight.

Premium brands or confidential brands, already present or not duty free, will have the opportunity to offer passengers a series of exclusive offers on the platform, up to 50% off.
