It’s a fascinating time for Air Côte d’Ivoire, the national airline of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire. The airline recently took delivery of its first wide body aircraft, an Airbus A330-900neo, and will soon launch flights between Abidjan (ABJ) and Paris (CDG).
I realize I’m probably more intrigued by this new service than just about anyone, especially since Air Côte d’Ivoire is the first airline in years to introduce an international first class product. However, I’m a little confused by what’s going on here, and am wondering if the airline decided to backtrack?
But this is where it gets strange, and I’m confused. If you go to the website of Air Côte d’Ivoire and try to book this flight, you’ll see the option to book business class or economy, but not the option to book first class or premium economy. Is that a glitch, or…?
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
