Yes, they do. You usually have the choice between a couple of colors (brown and white). But they are now very basic in terms of design and fabric. No style, except for a Christian Lacroix label on the back collar.

Thanks for the info. Is it standard on any AF Premiere flights to hand out pijamas to pax or does it have to be more than 6 hours for example like on some other airlines?

They are nothing particular by style and comfort (basic if not ugly design, basic cotton)
I never use them:
- I am not quite sure I would feel comfortable to wear them as the only changing rooms are the lavatories
- I prefer wake up at the very last minute

Yes they still have them and I use them every time
I agree that in spite of the label, the pjs are pretty basic.
However, I use them every time. Indeed I put them on before take off, even on a day flight. Why? Because then I can hang up my clothes and later put them on unwrinkled before landing. That is a real luxury. With a good sleep, fresh looking clothes, brushed teeth and a shave, I can walk off a long international flight and look like I haven't traveled at all.

AF does not have shorthaul flights in F (with maybe a couple of exceptions where the flight stopovers and it is a 777). So you allways get one day or night flight. But you wont get one if you just do a short segment on a longhaul flight with stopover. Again, there are very few of those, if any currently.

And I think that the shortest AF flights with a F cabin are CDG-BEY and CDG-CAI.
BTW, am I the only one here who has some size issues with these Christian Lacroix pajamas?
I am 6'3 / 180lbs and I find the L size is really tight an shapeless...

I am a bit heavier than you (200+lb), but have no tightness in the largest size of their PJ. However, they are shapeless and cheap fabric. Nothing like the old ones. How Lacroix accepts to put his name on such a cheap clothing is beyond comprehension. The cheapest of any airline (with Air India). My top choice is CX Shanghai Tang, very stilish PJ with a top that buttons up elegantly and comfortably.

Hi brunos,
Really? I have had no luck then (unless the Large PJs I got were European L...)
I have my very first CX flight in F next weekend; I really look forward to it!

Hope that it is on a 74A, 2nd row is my preferred seat. Avoid the A340 (old seats). If on 77A, avoid first row (noisy from galley). The Shanghai Tan PJ can be bought at some of their stores, quite expensive.

Outbound is on a 74A (seat 2A), inbound is 77A (but impossible to grab 2A, it is blocked according to me TA).
Sorry, it's slightly OT.

As commented here, shapeless but fabric while not superb, it is combed cotton.
