I agree that when flying to France, Air France offers THE BEST in-flight service. Far superior to any US carrier. If you can, try their La Première service!
Nice video! Quick question, does the Premium Economy cabin use the Business` lavatory or the Economy's ? I wonder also if the curtains are kept closed throughout the flight, separating the PE to the Eco ...
Merci beaucoup pour ce « report » ! Je ferai le même trajet en sens inverse dans 2 mois, et j’étais curieux de découvrir en « avant-première » cette nouvelle ligne d’Air France. Le vol et le service semblaient très corrects. J’aurais juste 2 questions : 1) j’ai l’impression que le port du masque pendant le vol n’était pas vraiment obligatoire - ou est-ce que je fais erreur ? 2) avez-vous testé la liaison entre YQB et CDG par Air Transat ? Merci encore !
Bonjour! Effectivement le port du masque n’est plus obligatoire depuis peu. Certaines personnes le gardent toujours cependant. J’ai aussi testé avec Air Transat en Eco et le la classe premium d’AF est bien mieux côté confort, mais le service reste semblable et excellent
Basic breakfast. But the seats seem comfortable. Unless it s priced right, I think Economy will do the job for a short red eye. Thanks for sharing this with us.
In my honest opinion, Air France has a great premium economy cabin and service. Better than British Airways. Plus you enjoy priority boarding and check in with premium economy. In addition, their seats recline within its shell so the person behind you is not interrupted. The only thing that has been taken out since covid struck is the free selection of seats at the time of booking your flights. And by the way, British Service Premium Economy does not offer any of these benefits!
The new seat coming (already on A350 initially meant for now defunct Joon) are much better. Proper recliner, better food (not economy food) ... AF just released the news.
@@Emi_LDA of course all AF planes aren't equipped with the same seats. I never said that. This is about the new W seat. They will for example be installed on retrofitted 777 where NEV4 seats will be replaced as well.
Do they offer snacks throughout the flight? I know Swiss Air offers a snack area where you can get drinks and grab snacks if you get hungry throughout your flight.
This is an old configuration. The A350s have fully reclining seats that are free of a shell like Delta Premium Select. The A350 has a far superior Premium Economy compared to 777 and A330 legacy like this.
@@williamyqb very few people share your opinion on this very unpleasant seat. They are almost unanimously decried as uncomfortable. They are judged OK for day flights but terrible for night flight because the lack of recline which prevents finding a good position fir sleeping (unless you are very short). Many frequent flyers go as far as refusing an upgrade to premium economy and prefer to stay in economy exit row.
I really just wan’tt to voice this out to all the platforms available. . . We booked a flight from Munich to Paris with Air france. . . They had technical problems with their plain so our flight was delayed for 2hrs and they where cannot load our baggage on our plane. . . The only option they gave us was either to fly without our luggage and it will be sent to our hotel the next day or we rebook our flight the next day in hopes that our luggage will come with it. . . We waited for the entire day and our luggage didn’t arrive. . . We wen’t to the airport to claim it personally but they said they can’t release our luggages. . . We are only on vacation in Paris for 4 days, 1 day is already lost while waiting for the luggage. . . And all they can answer is “I’m sorry” and “I understand but we can’t do anything about it”. . . Our whole vacation that we planned for months was ruined and that’s the best they got. . . It really enrages me that they ruined someones vacation and the best answer they got is we can’t do anything about it? Just a side note, it was my first time to experience an airplane do a wrong parking. . .
It was a technical problem and from what you have told us Air France is not really responsible, it is rather the airport staff members. On the other hand, you should know that if you lose your luggage and you are not responsible, Air France can give you another one, you just have to ask them at the airport. I already did that and I think it's a very good service (on the other hand the suitcases have the Air France logo)
@@Emi_LDA yeah they can replace the luggage but what is inside I think they can't compensate me for that. . . It's all Versace, Gucci, Givenchy, MCM inside. . .
Excuse me ? This isn’t business class and Air France do better than a lot of other companies for the premium economy ! I think it’s really cool, big screens a lot of space, leg room, big tray tables, lamp, electrical outlet, and all that cheaper than business.
The worst seats? With leg rests, foot rests, enough recline to sleep with a minimum of comfort, electrical outlets, and large shelves? On the contrary, they are very good seats
I hate those screaming children… even if you pay two times more expensive,you have to support it! there must be planes without children.. I am sûre there will be huge demand…why do we have to support other’s children ?
I am so sorry for the map at the beginning… something went wrong in the editing process. Thanks for your understanding!
Good job ,nice premium eco cabin
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Not a bad onboard experience. Much better than BA, especially the food. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching!
Great video! 👍
thanks!!

I sure would like that!!
Thank you for sharing your trip.
Yes, the first section of Premium Economy is really nice.
Thanks you 😊
Nice video! Quick question, does the Premium Economy cabin use the Business` lavatory or the Economy's ? I wonder also if the curtains are kept closed throughout the flight, separating the PE to the Eco ...
hi! Premium needs to use Economys lavatories… and the curtains were kept closed during the flight. The cabin was very intimate!
C'est super ! Have you taken the flight back yet!? How was the airport experience in CDG? Cheers and happy journey!
Hey! Yes I flew back. CDG is such a nice airport! Loved it!
@@williamyqb cheers for replying, I flew the route as well, CDG is decent, too bad this flight is seasonal eh!? Glad that it exists though!
Thanks 🙏🏾
On some airlines (not mentioning any names) this would qualify as Business Class.
can't wait to see this on Ryanair!!!! XD
Very helpful!
Thanks Kristen!

I really enjoyed the seats! Breakfast was bad tho!
@@williamyqb yeah looked like a sugar bomb. Insulin spike at 5am!!!
The breakfast isn’t really the best of Air France, lunch and dinner are really better
Hi William, about the seat you took for this flight; can you give us an idea of the space by giving us you height, please?
Sure thanks for watching! I am 5feet7 :)
My father (beside of me) is 6foot2 and had plenty of room too!!!

oh well !
The new seats ? This is the new cabin for A330, and no, all Air France planes don’t have the same seats

I do not recall the FA's coming into the cabin and offering snacks, but I'm pretty sure they'd have given me some if I asked. :)
nice review for me. thanks! a pleasure to flight, not?
Amazing :)
That’s not a tray table. That’s a helipad it’s so big!
Lol, yeah!
I understand that the seats in PE don't recline, but sort of slide forward to create the "shell". Is that correct?
correct. They are very comfortable
This is an old configuration. The A350s have fully reclining seats that are free of a shell like Delta Premium Select. The A350 has a far superior Premium Economy compared to 777 and A330 legacy like this.

@@alain6983 Oh well!
It doesn't matter to me what class or what airline, as long as they fly me to Paris which I need to go desperately :"(
travels await !!
Looks like the food was the same as in economy.
yeah
I'd be disappointed in the catering. The entree looked like a potato thing, maybe like a cottage pie, no salad, and the "breakfast" was just a roll.
The business class seat looked very narrow. Maybe the price is right
They aren’t narrow, their shape is designed to create a kind of intimacy, from the outside it looks small because part of it is hidden
So information on the difference in price?
Upgrade was 360$ one way from Economy
Est-ce-que CDG était votre destination finale?
c’était Lisbonne, on a passé par CDG
@@williamyqb Douane à CDG et pas LIS.
@@Ahuntsicspotter Correct. On se fait étamper à CDG puis on suit les corridors de correspondances. Aucune étampes pour le portugal par contre…
@@williamyqb Pas de video 📹 en vue pour un CDG-LIS?
@@Ahuntsicspotter non
It was so not worth it. Warning alert the seats were so small and uncomfortable. My back ached for a day after flying from SFO to Spain .
Air France has good meals.

Next time, take a private jet!
