Formalities
Visa
A valid passport is required for all U.S. citizens and foreign nationals entering France. Visitors must have ready for presentation at the border documentary evidence of the purpose of the visit, means of support for the duration of the stay and accommodation arrangements.
A visa may be required. It must be requested from a French consulate before departure. Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality and duration of stay in France and possibly on the reason for your visit to France.

Passenger's data disclosure
To ensure aviation safety and to protect their national security, some countries require that international airline companies transmit all or part of their passengers´ personal information.
Procedure
Data disclosure applies regardless of the origin of sale or type of booking system.
Not fulfilling this obligation toward destination countries can lead to serious consequences for airlines.
Legal obligations
Within the French and European legal framework, L’Avion is committed to protecting the personal information of its customers. Certain types of information are necessary in order to make a reservation and to establish a transport contract. Customers may exercise their legal rights and refuse the disclosure of their personal data.
However, such a refusal may lead to the cancellation of the trip or the inability to take advantage of certain requested services (ex: special meals).
Keep in mind
L’Avion transmits certain types of passenger information to U.S. authorities that was provided by the customer at the time of booking.
