How to Call French Airlines From Abroad (Air France, Transavia)
By the DialVia team ·
Quick answer: Air France: +33 9 69 39 36 54, Mon-Fri 8am-10pm Paris time. Transavia: +33 9 72 72 00 32, daily 5am-11pm Paris time. Both are consistently published across independent sources as the versions that work from abroad. Each airline's own domestic short code (3654 for Air France) does not.
Same pattern, two airlines
Both of France's major airlines market a memorable short code for domestic use and keep a separate, longer-format number for calls from outside France. Neither company's own contact page loaded cleanly for us to quote directly, Air France's is heavily JavaScript-rendered and Transavia's sits behind a bot-detection check, so what's below is built from agreement across multiple independent, non-spam sources rather than a first-party quote.

A warning worth repeating for Air France specifically
Air France's contact number is heavily spammed online. Dozens of templated pages, many hosted on hijacked university and government subdomains, circulate fake US-style toll-free numbers claiming 24/7 live agent support. If a search result for an airline's phone number is hosted on a .edu, .gov, or otherwise unrelated institutional domain, treat it as spam and skip it.
The cheaper way to actually make the call
Whichever airline applies to your trip, it's a standard French line, and calling it from outside France means paying your own carrier's international rate for the whole call, often during a long hold. With DialVia, you call either one over Wi-Fi from your browser instead:
- Open DialVia and sign up (about 30 seconds)
- Select France as the destination
- Enter the number you need
- Hit call
