    Thank you! I've been looking for a video of this plane in the bulkhead seats. That is where I'm sitting when we fly to Paris in a week and I was getting nervous the tv screen was up high on the wall.

      @AviationAlexYT  2 года назад

      Hahaha, no, there are screens in the armrest, don’t worry 🤣
      The screen on the wall is just for the safety video because you obviously can’t use the armrest screens until you’re up in the air 🛫
      Enjoy your trip! (:

    Very well done. Two years ago I flew Air France IAD-CDG-ABJ. On the outbound on the now retired A380, and to ABJ and back on the 787-9. The latter very nice indeed similar to the A350. Air France is doing a nice job these days.

    What about the seat recline???

    • @jorisw_
      @jorisw_ Год назад

      From a blog I found on this:
      "What’s really interesting is that in normal Economy, your seat physically reclines backwards, giving the person behind you less space. In Premium Economy, your seat actually slides forward, and a foot rest pops up, allowing you to recline while having your legs supported. There is no leg support in normal Economy.
      Honestly, I wasn’t too impressed with the reclining seat at all. It didn’t really improve my ability to sleep on a plane the way I hoped it would. It was just a different way of reclining, but not necessarily better."

    Will be flying on this beautiful bird in February 2021. Do u recommend premium ecomomy. If yes then do you think the last row has the same recline as the others ? 🙈. Flew to paris in business it was amazing.

    • @AviationAlexYT
      @AviationAlexYT  4 года назад

      I think it depends on circumstances:
      Do you need to get through the airport quicker? Premium economy helps as you get skypriority
      Do you want lounge access? You don’t get it with Premium Economy
      Do you want a quieter and more intimate cabin? Premium Economy delivers
      As for recline - I’m not sure, I didn’t look. But from what I’ve seen online, it seems like the last row does indeed have the same recline as the other seats - but I can’t guarantee that.

      The seats were extremely comfortable, with plenty of legroom, especially in the bulkhead seat that I had.
      As for recline, I don’t know exactly how many inches you get, but it’s certainly much more than economy.

      In general, no. The only way to access the lounge free of charge as an economy (or premium economy) passenger is by having Flying Blue Gold or Platinum status, or SkyTeam Elite Plus status.
      The lounge is free, though, for all business class and La Première (first class) passengers.

    • @AviationAlexYT
      @AviationAlexYT  2 года назад +1

      I’m not here to copy anyone. I edit the videos in the style I like depending on what footage I have for each flight.
      Also, the ground experience is often a big differentiating factor between airlines, so wouldn’t it be weird for me to leave that out?
      Finally, this was my first ever trip report, so of course it’s not perfect.
      p.s. None of this video was in Heathrow. If you’re gonna leave shitty comments, at least make sure they’re relevant…

    More please, Alex. 50 Euro for not very much. Was there a notice at the door saying "Mugs Enter Here"? Mug being an English, and maybe more, term for gullible people with more money than sense. My wife and I have had bad experiences with Air France and their Premium Economy product. Never again. Business class does not look great - every other seat isn't next to a window, they should charge less for them. Rant over, keep it going Alex. A fresh perspective, well done.

    • @AviationAlexYT
      @AviationAlexYT  4 года назад +1

      There’s more coming, don’t worry 🙂
      And I agree that €50 is a bit much, especially for a Premium Economy passenger. I think Premium Economy should get discounted entry. But the thing is, I imagine the lounge is always well used, so they probably don’t mind if people pay for it or not, it’s just incremental revenue.
      As for the onboard product, I actually think it was quite good! The new cabins on the A350 I believe are a lot nicer than the 777 or 787 (although I haven’t tried either, just based on what I’ve seen others say). Business Class is all direct aisle access on this plane too, so it’s an improvement on some of Air France’s planes.

      @@AviationAlexYT Premium Economy passengers get 25% discount on entry to AF lounges if booked in advance up until the day before departure (though now 60 euros so 45 with discount). Given prices in airports and the fact they have self serve branded champagne we are fully intending to try on our next trip which will be the first time we fly PE with AF! I imagine 3 glasses will cover the entry cost.
