  • Air France's upper-deck Business Class on their A380s is underwhelming when compared to other European airlines, but I still enjoyed this flight on the largest commercial plane in existence!
    Air France is the flag carrier of France, with its global hub at Charles de Gaulle Airport and domestic hub at Orly Airport. It's a subsidiary of the Air France-KLM Group and a founding member of the SkyTeam global airline alliance. The airline transits over 45,000,000 passengers a year.
    I hope you enjoy the review!
    Airline: Air France
    Aircraft: Airbus A380-861 (F-HPJG)
    Seat: 71A (Business Class)
    Flight Number: AF10
    Route: CDG to JFK
    Flight Time: 7 hours, 42 minutes
    Date of Travel: October 15, 2018

    My very first time on an A380 was also with AF, on the CDG-SFO route. I fell in love with this aircraft and have since selected airlines and flights using them to and from Europe as much as I possibly could.

    As soon as you got off, you felt the american oppression: "STOP!!!' YOU CAN"T FILM IN HERE!!!!!" Welcome back to the Land of Rules!!! I remember once i took a Greyhound bus trip from Phoenix to Tucson, It was a bus starting its route to Dallas TX. During the first half an hour , the driver was on the microphone reciting all the rules, and random things that we weren't allowed to do on the bus. I still take that trip every 3 weeks, but im so glad I'm able to drive there all the time!! At least I don't feel in a mobile prison! LOL

    I flew on an Air France A380 a few weeks ago in business class. I remember reading a few disappointing reviews about the product, but I was pleasantly surprised. The crew were friendly, the seats surprisingly comfortable, and the food was great. I just wish they didn't keep the cabin so warm as there weren't individual air controls. I quite enjoyed it!
