TRIP REPORT | First Flight on Air France A350 | Los Angeles to Paris CDG | AIR FRANCE Airbus A350

- Air France Trip Report flying from Los Angeles to Paris onboard one of the Air France A350 on a lovely summer day over the US and morning over Europe.
A comfortable flight onboard the Air France Airbus A350-900 from Los Angeles to Paris CDG. The A350 is the newest model on Air France's fleet, offering their most modern cabins. Even though the flight was fully booked, the flight was really nice.
We took off from Los Angeles towards the west, which means towards the Pacific Ocean. After an initial climb over it, we made a more than 180° turn to our left and started our route towards Paris.
We overflew the city of Los Angeles and continued towards the San Bernardino mountains, that we overflew at a quite low altitude. We entered then in the Mojave Desert. As you may know from other Trip Reports, the area from this point until reaching Denver is just phenomenal. It is one of the most beautiful areas in the World to see from a plane.
From the Mojave Desert, we flew towards Las Vegas and the Moab Dessert. The views of the valleys, reefs, cliffs, mountains... were just amazing. We had perfect clear skies so I really hope I was able to capture the beauty of this area through the camera.
We continued then towards the Rocky Mountains. We entered them over Grand Junction and flew towards Denver. We then flew over the States of Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois, before reaching Chicago. From there we flew towards Boston and entered the Atlantic Ocean. Already next morning, we flew next to Ireland and the UK, before entering France, landing on-time at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport after a cloudy approach.
Now it's your turn!
Have you ever flown with Air France? Which route? How was the experience? What do you think about the Air France service? Have you ever been in Los Angeles? Maybe in Paris? Have you ever flown on the Airbus A350-900?
Lots of things to talk about! See you in the comments!

video will be better if without that nervous music
The Olympic Games in Paris, France 2024 ❤😊🇫🇷🗼🏟️🏅🎖️🥇🥈🥉
Let's see if AF has something nice to show there :)
The flight attendant making the departure and post-landing briefings had the most lovely voice and accent when speaking English. I could listen to her all day
Besides the speed it amazes me how far they can fly. I remember back in the old days you had to have at least three engines to fly over the sea. Such a smooth landing.
The reason why 3 engines were need was because they were not enough reliable, so the regulations put compulsory 3 or 4 engines, so in case 1 would fail, there were stil 2 or 3 more.
All changed with the new-gen engines and the ETOPS rules.
Sure saves a lot of fuel also. Thank you@@OnBoardHD
I flew on Air France A350 on my way back from Mauritius Island last week......and Air Mauritius A350 on my way from Paris to MRU...this plane is exceptionnal....smooth, very spacious...
One of the best videos ever! Thank you.
Thank you, I love seeing what food is served. Looked pretty good. Thank you for allowing us to fly with you.😊
Excellent explanation of the 20:11 Jetstream by comparing it to walking on a moving sidewalk! Thank you for another enjoyable video.
I feel like I've gone on a trip without even leaving home!
Thanks so much, mate :)
Glad you found it interesting! I just wanted people to better understand what tailwind means. I think the majority thinks that it's just wind "pushing" the plane to go faster... :)
I can’t help but feel how your videos effectively convey the sense of scale of these aircraft, almost like a 1:1 of what you would actually be experiencing if you there. Good video! 3:26 was the moment that made me write this
glad that you enjoyed them so much!!
Loved the A350, great route to fly 🤩
Thans so much! :)
Finally Air France A350😍
Yeah! Enjoy!
Loving the little geography lessons in each of your videos!! ❤❤❤
haha thanks so much :))
Great video. Great views from LAX to Lake Michigan. In the past I flew from LAX to CDG with AF A380... Next year maybe in A350!
I love aviation and Your video’s learn me a lot of it. Thanks

Glad you found it interesting :)
I like the way u inform us about everything 🎉❤
Another great video . Your videography is super. I appreciate the side notes regarding what is happening in the cabin and then airport itself. Fantastic explanation of Tailwind and Air Distance. i learned something new. Thank you.
Thanks a lot, mate :))
Glad that you found the trip report interesting :)
Muy buena aeronave , buen vuelo , buen servicio de a bordo❤😊

Thank You for sharing this wonderful vlog. Hope to get an opportunity to try flying with Air France 🇫🇷
Glad that you've enjoyed it! :))
Muy bueno el video muy buen explicado, ya me sentía dentro del avión y me empezó el sueño, buen video.
Muchas gracias!
Un placer que te haya gustado :)
Superb video content love it please continue
thanks a lot!!
Another great video my friend! I feel like every video you make applies to a past experience or thought that I had in the past. I flew on the Air France A350 from Paris to Atlanta back on August 6, 2022 back when traveling was hectic. I remember that the food was ok and IFE was pretty good, and the crew were very friendly and politely socialized with me while doing service. Overall an 8/10 experience. To your point about KLM, I flew with them THIS summer (777, August 7) from Amsterdam to Atlanta and then did awesome too, a 9/10 for me. KLM has a slight edge, but both are really good long haul airlines with a great partnership. I enjoyed this video and keep up the good work!
Thanks so much mate :)
I basically agree with you... I would choose KLM, but if you are lucky enough to get a nice crew on AF, they are great as well. However, KLM catering in economy class is better than the AF one.
Hello Sir and welcome back .. as always beautiful upload travel trip reports and I really appreciate and enjoy watching your lifestyle documentary video channel and absolutely spectacular gorgeous beautiful shooting filming footage .. keep it up and have a wonderful weekend and stay safe .. TQSM
Glad that you've enjoyed it another weekend more :)
Thanks!
Very Nice. Thanks so much✌I love it🤙
Thanks so much :)
Fabulous vistas. Utha, Green River Canyon, Mojave dessert, Mt. Garfield All superb!! The movie you've chose was Interstellar? Great trip!! Thank you so much!! 🥰👍
Thanks so much!
Yeah, that was the movie :)
Bello y muy tranquilo vuelo, avión perfecto(excepto por lo del tomacorrientes tipo c claro 😅) felicidades todo bien como siempre, gracias por la inmersión en la experiencia de volar por el mundo, un abrazo desde👉🏿🇨🇴🇨🇴.
Muchas gracias!
Un placer que te haya gustado tanto! :)
@@OnBoardHD sabes, me gustaría hicieras el vuelo desde Sidney a USA o viceversa en un Airbus a350-900 de Qantas, saludos y abrazo desde Colombia🫂
Köszönjük!
Thank you so much for the support!

Muchas gracias, German! :)
Video quality is amazing ❤
Thanks so much! :)
I Like The Great Food Aboard Great Trip Report
I'm not sure if I have the same opinion about the food... =/
Muy Bíen! Great video 👍
Thanks so much :)
My experience with Air France was flying from Jakarta to Singapore & Singapore to Paris & Paris to Singapore & Singapore to Jakarta in 2004.
I live in Rochester New York, didn't expect to see it in the video.
haha Hope you've enjoeyd it ;)
Flew AF twice. First time to Türkiye from Houston on a 772 and A320, and it was ok. Second time from Delhi to Paris on the 773, and it was miles better.
Glad that you had a great experience :)
Wow lucas un video espertacular 😊es la primera vez que veo el gran canyon desde un avion y tan claramente tu camera es excelente el avion no esta nada mal hizo su trabajo y tu conocimiento del vuelo estuvo buenisimo saludos jerry
Muchas gracias!
Pronto tengo otro vuelo sobrevolando el Gran Cañón. A ver si hay un poco mas de suerte y lo vemos completo 💪✈️
Very good🇨🇷🇺🇸
I never flew with Air France, but I did with KLM and really liked that. But Air France doesn't seem too bad.
Highlights of this trip report for me were the city lights from above and the transition from the American landscapes to the typical European landscape and weather.
Thanks so much, Rudi :)
Hopefully I'll soon be able to upload an upadted KLM long-haul trip report :))
The Air France service, look´s OK, but the video is EXCELLENT!
Thanks so much! :))
Great video, well produced! Curious what you used to identify landmarks you were flying over, as well as details about other planes you witnessed?
¡ Hola de Irlanda! Me encanta sus videos
Muchas gracias!!! :)
Great video as always. When will you be doing another video to Spain I miss those and would love to see another
Well, 2 weeks ago we had one flying from MAdrid... =/
A350 is the best plane I flown back in 2019
This channel should have much more subscribers!
Thanks so much!
Happy that you like these videos so much! :))
The first time I flew with Air France or KLM was in 2002 with KLM after a flight with Northwest Airlines (Now Delta Airlines). I also flew with KLM from Amsterdam to CPH (Copenhagen, Denmark) in 2011 after a Delta Flight and then in 2021 from GOT (Gothenburg, Sweden) to AMS (Amsterdam, The Netherlands). My first ever Flight with Air France was in 2021 to GOT (Gothenburg, Sweden) with a connection at CDG (Paris, France) after a Delta Flight to MSP (Minneapolis St-Paul) from PHX (Phoenix, Arizona).
Hola, se ve muy interesante ahí estaré 😉 😊
Perfecto! Que lo disfrutes!
Look nice plane🔥🔥🔥🇹🇿🇹🇿
Glad you liked the video :)
@@OnBoardHD yah i like more 👏🔥
I think Air France really offers one of the better economy class products, compared to other European airlines. I flew them last year from Paris to Montreal (got a Video of that on my Channel too) and really liked it. Thank you for this lovely trip report! :)
I think they have a quite ok product compared to other European airlines, but KLM one is better, even that they are on the same airline group.
Hermosos paisajes del LAX y del Desierto de Mojave, asi como el Gran Cañón.
10 horas de vuelo... Siempre es bastante. A propósito, ¿cual fue tu vuelo mas largo?
Saludos
Muchas gracias!! Un placer que te haya gustado!
Hasta la fecha, el SanFrancisco-Doha que está en el canal.
Heeeeeeee. Al fin en el 4:51 sale un vuelo relacionado con Guatemala en el canal. Que alegría 🥳🥳🥳🥳🇬🇹
jaja me alegra que te haya gustado :)
@@OnBoardHD soy tu gran fan de Guatemala. Ojalá hagas un video viendo a Guatemala saludos
The flight was sensational, I only saw the North Atlantic Ocean, and when it arrived in Paris, it was Air-France flight AF 457 from São Paulo leaving Guarulhos.✈️
Thanks so much!
Glad that you enoyed the video :)
Hubieras viajado en la premier!!
Merci Vidéo
thanks ;)
Must've admit breakfast did look nice But nice flight report yet again see you next time bud
Glad that you've enjoyed this one!
NExt Saturday we'll fly on the A380! :)
Buen video. De acuerdo con el tema de las ventanas del 787. Si hay algo que odio es que la tripulación las bloquee. Por cierto, dices que Southwest es la lowcost más grande del mundo. Yo en realidad no consideraría a Southwest una lowcost. Tiene buen espacio entre sillas, te incluyen equipaje (2 maletas y un carry on) y puedes elegir tu silla, todo sin costo adicional.
Muchas gracias, Sebastian :)
Southwest es una low-cost the manual. Por como es su estructura y sus servicios, pero además por los precios que ofrece.
Great vid love flying. Now the A350.900 And The A350. 1000 What's the Difference.
Thanks for the video and explanation about ‘Air Distance’ and ‘Ground Distance’ 👍 Awesome view overlooking desert, mountains, canyons and rivers over the Nevada, Utah and Colorado 👍👍👍 AF is a pretty good airline BUT they’re very expensive, they used to having higher fares than the US airlines and even vs. LH!
THanks so much!
Gald that you found it interesting! :)
Yeah, AF isn't the cheapest one out there... in my opinion not worth the price many times... =/
Thank you, probably the best flight video I have seen. Basically video of the flight with explanation rather than the constant self obsessed promotion of their own and their bs opinion of the aircraft and its services. 👍
16:00 thank you!! ❤❤
Glad you found it intersting!! :)
Very informative video. Service seemed ordinary. Typical of European carriers. I am curious as to what was the max ground speed achieved while overflying the US? Keep up the good work👍
Thanks so much! Glad that you foun it interesting :)
I didn't monitore the speed on the screen. In fact, I'm not sure if it was available.
Amazing Video, you had best views...how do you manage exactly to know where you are flying over, the IFE does not give this detailed information ?
Don't expect me to tell you how I make my videos ;)
Glad that you've enjoyed it :)
@@OnBoardHD I wasn't expecting such a surprising answer, although I leave the interpretation of "surprising" open.
We just flew Air France Abu Dhabi to Paris on a A350. Much better than the outdated 777-200 & 777-300 flights
L A is my hometown❤❤❤
Hope you've enjoyed the video! :)
Thank you for the great trip report! Really i haven't been on KLM or AF longhaul but as for shorthaul i like KLM more. And have you flyed on KLM longhaul?
Thanks so much! :)
There are some KLM long-haul trip reports on the channel, yes ;)
That's great! I'll watch them then.
if you are wondering KLM does not block the brightness on the 787 windows, at least on my flight. The catering on a similar flight was better with hot dinner and warm and delicius pancake for breakfast. Maybe about AF the catering is better out of Paris
That's good to know :))
I don't know if it's shot on Samsung S Series but the visuals are stunning !
This was recorded with the S23Ultra.
Glad that you've enjoeyd it :)
Great trip, I would love to try A350 it looks soo nice and shining:) (excep old USBs:P) Bout the service? No it's not the best in Europe, main meal is really mediocere and on such a long flight you dont get a second hot meal?... lol but neverthless it is nice:) Cheers mate!
Yeah, I agree more or less with you :D
Flew on KLM’s B777 from Amsterdam to Accra. Yet to fly with Air France though.
I flew both and I would defintely choose KLM =/
Wow amazing and amazing vedeo i love air france paris france flights ❤❤❤ thank u so much...wish to the uploader my bottom of heart..❤❤❤
OnBoardHD, how do you know the runways that your plane is landing on?
Nice video, as always ❤
Glad that you've enjoyed it!
I'm sorry, I don't tell how I make my videos.
There is software application that will tell you.
@@ptrs559 what is the name of it? Please
Bravo mille fois !Ce reportage est magnifique et tellement fluide à regarder !You have done a splendid job .
Thanks so much!!! :))
I have flown both Air France and KLM and I have to say....I prefer KLM💙
I think me too.. =/
Smooth flight 😊 Did learn about tailwinds & the airplane graveyard which I had never heard of. Breakfast looked good because I love all the bread but dinner not so much. I would be happy to fly on any of your reviewed flights ❤ 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸
Thanks so much! :)
See you next Saturday flying on an A380 on the other side of the World :))
I won't be able to watch the premiere, but I'll watch this trip report as soon as I can. It looks promising based on the description. Great views, and a far more modern cabin than on your CDG-BOM flight ;)
Also, just curious: On your Air Caraibes A350 video you mentioned how the outbound flight to FDF was on Air France (and the service wasn't as good as the Air Caraibes flight). I'm guessing that one was on an old 777, just like the flight to BOM?
Hope you will enjoy it!!
The flight to FDF was with Air France on the B777, yep.
It will come to the channel in the next months :)
Yes, I really enjoyed it! Great planespotting in LAX, an awesome view of the A350's beautiful winglet, amazing views of the Western US, really impressive storm clouds at sunset, and the tailwind thing was interesting. 👌👌
This is only the second video I've watched on your channel, and I particularly understand why you don't like the B787's windows lol, in fact for your video model, open windows are much better.
Congratulations on the videos. I became your fan.
Greetings from Belém do Pará, Brazil.
I'm based in London and I've attempted numerous times to switch my preferred legacy airline to AF, but the connections at CDG let me down everytime!
The work around is to spare extra hours for the connections, but it ends up wasting my time on the short weekend trips, where the final destination is not Paris.
I heard that the connections at LHR could also be terrible, which I never possibly experienced, but I want to believe that it's not as bad as CDG!
Well, if I would live in London I would definitely go with the middle-east airline for long-haul. Or maybe I would choose one every time, as you have basically all options available! :D
I flew in both air France and KLM
And which one do you prefer?
Segunda vez consecutiva montando un a350 en Los Angeles (sólo que estabes volando)
=/
Is the jetstream related to turbulence?
I'd love to visit Paris someday but it's either going to be an A380 or some other plane depending on which plane is assigned to take people there
Only Emirates is flying the A380 to Paris at the moment, as far as I know.
Discounted processed junk food items from the supermarket as your breakfast. World class indeed.
haha That's true...
Cuando vas hacer tu reporte de vuelo en korean air boeing 747-8b5 desde Bolivia cochabamaba 🇧🇴🤑
Please stop asking for this flight
No he volado con KLM largo radio así que no puedo comparar, pero las dos veces que he volado con Air France rutas transatlánticas la comida a bordo ha sido regular tirando a mala, igual que el IFE, muy leeento… eso sí, fue en su triple 7, en el a350 de air france no he volado
La verdad yo elegiría KLM, siempre que no sea en un Boeing 787 con sus asquerosas ventanillas atenuables.
Jajajaja y yo pensando que eras el típico anglo que sólo habla inglés jajaja ... Como dirían ellos ..What a surprise!!
Thanks for the journey. I think they used to use an A380 in this flight, but stopped doing so at the beginning of the pandemic and subsequently AF decided to get rid of their A380s. Once, this flight had to make an emergency landing in Denver because of a medical emergency on board. I believe it is the only time an A380 has been to Denver even though the airport can handle them.
Airlines also may avoid Canadian air space because flying over their air space is relatively expensive, especially compared to the United States.
Yeah... really sad that AF retired both the A380 and B747 during the pandemic... I really would love to fly on them at least once..
The 787 windows are the worst. The best thing of flying is seeing the world glide past below you and then they block the windows to force you to sleep on day flights because the crew doesn’t really want to be disturbed.
I agree. I hope no other plane will have this type of windows...
On board hd En el Cementerio de aviones Funcionan?
La mayoría están para desguazar. Puede que alguno esté en almacenaje esperando un nuevo operador...
Algun dia ire de.Santiago.de.Chile a.Buenos Aires.en el.vuelo 702 de KLM y me.gustaria viajar tambien en Air France aunque de.Santiago el.vuelo.es.sin escalas a Paris me.parece que ambos.son Boing.787 saludos
Mucha suerte con ello!!
Es un vuelo que me planteé alguna vez pero no ha podido hacerse por ahora...
A350 siempre, Santiago-Paris.
AIR France is better!!!!350 and 220 are incredible!
Well, I have my doubts to be honest =/
@@OnBoardHD Doubt about what? About AF or A350/220 aircraft?
