    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!

    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 !

    • @williamyqb
      @williamyqb  2 года назад +2

      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

    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!

      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)
