France’s peak tourist season is now in full swing, making it the perfect time for Air France and Extime Travel, Groupe ADP’s airport retail and hospitality brand dedicated to tourism experiences, to unveil the new Paris Stopover offer. Designed and operated by Extime Travel, the new offer invites travelers to take advantage of their connection time to explore Paris and the surrounding region. With 50 percent of Air France customers arriving at Paris-Charles de Gaulle connecting to another destination, this service offers an all-in-one experience.
Air France customers can choose to add a package from Extime Travel when booking their flight, on either the outbound or return journey. Following booking, the Paris Stopover allows eligible Air France customers to choose from a range of packages designed by Extime Travel. Each can be tailored to individual preferences and length of the stopover (from one to four nights), including transfers, accommodations and curated activities.

The addition of the Paris Stopover is a direct response to strong customer demand. A study published by the Pégase Chair in April 2026 showed 81 percent of customers with a connection in Paris stated, “they were somewhat or very interested in the possibility of using their time between flights to leave the airport and explore Paris or other attractions near Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport.”
Extime Travel designed each package to highlight the diverse sightseeing opportunities on offer in Paris and the surrounding region. The “Paris Must-See” package visits the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum. Or, with “Disneyland® Paris,” enjoy a family getaway. This service will expand with unique premium experiences, as well as cultural, gastronomic and festive excursions. Air France and Extime Travel are committed to promoting the neighboring areas around Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, as well.
Paris Stopover is accessible to all Air France customers with a connection, regardless of travel cabin and can be booked with Extime Travel up to 48 hours before departure, subject to availability.

Sep 17, 2026High-Spirited Hong Kong: The Dynamic Hub Embraces Its Maritime History and Culture
It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
