French carrier XL Airways landed at LAX for the first time today. Until September 28, the airline will offer three weekly flights from Los Angeles to the City of Lights, operated with Airbus A330 aircraft. With attractive fares and French quality service, XL Airways seeks to replicate the success it has had in its three other US gateways: New York, Miami and San Francisco.

XL Airways’ low fares are not synonymous will low service: all tickets include a piece of checked in baggage, a hot meal and a snack. Passengers seeking a more exclusive experience can opt for Premium Galaxy class and enjoy comfortable reclining seats at the front of the aircraft, fine cuisine with premium wines, and personal entertainment on Samsung tablets.

Since the introduction of its first flights between Paris and New York in 2009, the airline has rapidly built its network between Paris and America. It now operates up to 16 weekly flights to/from JFK, MIA and SFO.
