Club class is presented as a product halfway between premium economy and business. Each seat has a toiletry kit, and the comfort bag includes slippers and a blanket, plus an inflatable pillow. A welcome drink is served on sitting down.

The inflight magazine is called Atmosphère. After flying over the Cotentin peninsula and leaving the French coast, the North Atlantic crossing begins with a snack and a hearty meal.

A walk through the cabin shows the Club lavatories and the economy class, which is very densely packed and has no individual screens.
