- Yes yes, it took me long to post this one, I know.. I was on leave!😛
But I hope the wait was worth it!
So I found myself in Paris, just peeking at the departure board out of curiosity, and I found an Air France flight to Dubai via Doha. I was booked already on Emirates directly to Dubai, but as that would be too easy.. I quickly booked a flight on Air France instead!
It’s a rare flight that’ just operating a couple of times during the World Cup in Qatar, so come and join and see for yourself what the experience is like in Premium Economy!
I just wish it was a daytime flight as I was dead, but the crew were so incredibly cool.. Wish I had made more out of the experience!
Enjoy!
Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
From: Paris Charles de Gaulle International Aiport, France
To: Dubai International Airport, the United Arab Emirates
Via : Doha Hamad International Airport, Qatar
Flight Number: AF664
Aircraft Type: Boeing B777-200ER
Registration: F-GSPN
Flight Time: 05:37 and 00:48

Great video as usual! Love all the additional info (aircraft and cities) added.
Thanks, glad you do enjoy the info!
Takes double the time but worth it😄
I Like the Product Premium Economy,Air France have good food Aboard.Great work
Thanks Gunvald. I enjoyed it thoroughly!
Snr A,
I have watched your more recent reports and must say that I enjoy them greatly.
I love your style of presentation, each one is excellent.
So this weekend I decided to binge watch your back catalogue and saw loads, however I don't think that I succeeded in seeing them all !
I do give every report a thumbs up, so I now have a reference as to which I haven't seen.b
Keep up the excellent work, you really are First Class.
Muchas Gracias

yeeeessss!! i was waiting for your world cup video :D
great one buddy! i had smile when the fans cheered up on the landing, it was the funny staff!
AF looks great, and that dessert, jees :D
waiting for the next video!
So did I and the crew! Everyone was having a good time. Boarding was very nice too as all the fans and crew were taking pictures with eachother.
The dessert I had to stop. Too good and too rich, out of my league 🫠
Wow another great blog Alejandro. I honestly never knew Air France had premium economy and todays intro was great
Thanks Ali! Always here😃
They were actually one of the very first to always have Premium Economy if I remember well.
See you next video my friend!
Very nice report. Nice personal touch. Thanks for sharing
Always a pleasure, thanks for watching!
Awesome 🎉
I can’t wait to fly with you! You are the best.
Tag along anytime!
Amazing n pleasant viewing as usual. Thnks Alex..wishing u n ur family a merry n blessed Christmas. U bring so much of joy to Aviation lovers....shukran!!
A merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
Hope to make a xmas special on time..
Nice trip enjoyed very much. Looking forward for another exciting trip. Thanks for joyous journey.
Glad to hear that Abdul! Thank you!
Great video as always.
Thanks John!
Always learning something new when watching your videos. Thank you
I am glad you have the chance to do so.
Hope to fly to your beloved home soon in January 🥰
@@TheLayoverAviation Looking forward to seeing you here! 🙏🏼
I like how you explain stuff in detail. Great flight.
Thanks Benson! Glad you like the extra inch
i love your videos bro! (also sam chui) lots of info as well as entertainment 🤩 love from india ❤️
Sam is just in another league!
Thanks for being here Nikhil! See you around.
@@TheLayoverAviation you are also a good content creator, believe me bro 🔥
Sam is too commercial... Always kissing ass
Amazing video mate , always puts a smile on my face
Especially seeing Rwandair 💓
I’ll try to fly them soon. Maybe that’s another big smile😄
@@TheLayoverAviation 😃 yes please hopefully soon i see your video of Rwandair
Really awesome trip report mate! Liked!
Thanks Jelmer!!
Nice video!!! The final is set!!
Yes, I kind of hope Messi takes it home, just as a thanks for his career..
@@TheLayoverAviation Hmm it’s going to be a tough match… let’s see
You are THE Guy!
You are!
I heared a "Bora, Brasil", in my language, portuguese, during applause moment!! Very nice!!!
Yes, lot’s of Brazilian fans on the flight Ricardo! People travelled thousands of km’s to see their beloved Carioca :)
Excellent landing in Doha and Dubai 👍🏻 Hope to get the opportunity to fly with Air France one day to experience their food and good inflight service. Thank You for sharing this lovely video.
Two great landings indeed!
Always a pleasure to share with you all. Hope you get to fly Air France soon😃
@@TheLayoverAviation Thank You for your kind wishes. Hope it comes true soon 😊
The sun in Doha isn beautiful. Amazing flight reviews, really enjoy what you have to tell us.
Thanks for the lovely comment Janine. The sky in Qatar is quite different vs most other places, mostly due to the dust in the air. That’s a big reason for it looking different.
Awesome as always, 👏👏👍! Merry Christmas 🎄
A merry xmas to you too! I’m trying to finish some xmas special.. let’s see if I make it on time..
@@TheLayoverAviation thanks oh I’m ready for the Xmas festivities, I look forward to it and I’m sure you will 👍. Merry Christmas 🎄✈️🎄🙌
fantastic views of Doha and Dubai, thanks a lot ! 🙂
I was on the wrong side of the plane in Dubai. But it was a clear day so I can’t complain😎
Splendid video 😍. Take care and wish you a merry Christmas 🙂
Thanks, you too my friend!!
Great flight review. AF really outdid themselves, and you won the lottery getting PE and a free seat next to you. The food looked great, better than some business class offerings I've seen. And you were missed last week ... 😂😎 Thanks again 🍸🥂🥃
They outdo themselves with me most of the times.
I know others might not be such big fans, but I guess that if you’re ok and understand the French humor and culture you’re totally fine.
The food was actually a highlight for me. I never considered healthy plane food. It’s just hard to achieve. You kind of need all the bad stuff to preserve it better, specially when you cook in a big scale like Economy Class is. But this meal was healthy, I only noticed the info once I finished.
I didn’t miss anyone last week😛
Placed my devices in a safe and enjoyed myself an all-inclusive week!
Take care my friend!
love the (not so) subtle digs at QR... absolutely agree... it's something money can't buy.
100% agree.
Money can’t buy it all at all. Not loyalty and not passion.
Great video thanks for sharing, very informative. Great job
Thanks my friend!
Great video!
Thanks!
Beautiful video ❤
Thanks my friend!
Nice flight review. The inflight service looks good.
It was great! Thanks for watching!
What camera did you use to record this (you should add it to the description in the future)? The quality is phenomenal considering how clear it is in low light! Great flight report as always!
It’s just filmed with an iPhone 13 pro max. keeping it simple😄
Thank you always for your always amazing Trip Report
Thanks to the n1 commenter here!
I Wnt to know do i mean anything to you.All i do is loving you n
Please feel me being bold but like chains on me of you.Then again could be mycrazy imagination..At times how many Disguises am i loving. Maybe my mind plays tricks on me. What is stange yesterda was thinking where was GM guy. IT WAS this person reading my thoughts.There you were or was it my crazy imagination.Anywhere maybe your missing rib is here in me like a chain Ido hope it is my crazy mind Thanks for taking the time to read this
By the Happy Holidays to you merry Xmas N Happy New year.Maybe a cheater with disguises
Looks like Air France has great service! Their Premium economy seat though is just ok. After you showed us the Emirates Premium economy seat "many videos ago" I now unfairly compare premium econ products to the Emirates one.. I know I shouldn't do that as I set my self up for disappointment lol! ;(
You're almost to 20k Subs! Awesome!!! So close!
It’s taking me so long to catch up with comments, gosh what a nightmare!
Yes, the EK PY was many videos ago.. When it wasn’t even officially in service yet. So I hope to show it soon here, but I’m waiting for some interesting flight, to JFK perhaps 😏
Comprehensive trip report as always.
I was just wondering, since aviation RUclipsrs tend to do more long-haul flights than an average person does, how do you deal with jet lag?
I’ll go as far to say that I think I even fly more then all other RUclipsrs😂. I just get to publish maybe 10-20% of what I actually fly.
So yes, good question, fatigue plays a huge role! I don’t call it jet lag anymore.
My trick is just to sleep when I’m tired and stay awake when I’m not.
Also I try to follow Dubai time (my home time) as much as I can no matter where in the world.
I exercise a lot and eat healthy whenever possible.
As long as you’re happy and fit I don’t see any problems with jet lag!
lol those chants after landing
For me the best n most beautiful surprise
😋
I just think you love having fun so you want me to smile Haha
Are you sneaking this message from your imaginary wife.
Thanks for the review, for your question at min 14:56 it might have been aubergine puree as I saw a it of finer in there and the colour make kind of sense.
Again thank you for sharing
:)
I thought of Aubergine puree, but I eat that a lot in the form of moutabal or baba ghanoush, and it didn’t really taste like that. It was a similar in taste thing as a cold mashed potato..
We’ll find out at some poin!
@@TheLayoverAviation celery purée?
Like the video, greetings to you from Montenegro!!!
Hvala Predrag! Vidimo se 🇲🇪 ❤️
@@TheLayoverAviation Nema na čemu!!! Dobro došao u Crnu Goru!!!
Are you going to continue this as a series? If so how much episodes can we expect 🤔, Anyway fantastic tripreport as always :)
3 flights going to Doha and 2 more coming where I’m enjoying some live World Cup on the plane😛
Nice video again. Couple of questions for you
1. Curious as to when you give the crew the treat you get them.
2. What type of carry on do you have (looking for the brand)
thanks!
1. When I see that they’re not busy, I don’t want to bother.
2. It’s a German brand called Rimowa. The suitcase model is the “Topas”. Not cheap but definitely the best money can buy.
@@TheLayoverAviation thank you.
Another great flight review buddy! You have really nice suitcase!,i have with the airlines stickers :D...
I never tried AF on long haul,only short Haul! Uh oh,my favorite sound! The GE90..soo powerful!
How will you celebrate Cristhmast? I will celebrate it onboard Swiss A223 and Helvetic E190-E2 and i will share the experience!
If we dont see to the Christmas,i wish to you,Eric and your family the best wishes! 🙏😊✈️
I love the suitcase, my little baby! Many of the stickers have gotten lost over time but many new ones join whenever I fly somewhere new.
I am for work in Oslo but will return on Christmas morning and celebrate it with my family in Dubai.
My mother just flew over from Amsterdam yesterday so she’ll join the fun.
Your Christmas sounds fun! Looking forward to the experience!
Thanks for your best wishes! Eric is featured in the next video😛
@@TheLayoverAviation ...Ahh,atleast your baby didnt get lost...Enjoy it! Enjoy Oslo! And ofc i will share it 🙏
La vie en 🌹.... AF is always LE CHIC airline ( 🤫they should improve flight's main menu a little bit more... I guess) .... Gotta say you've done a GREAT job.... Thanks again for the great red eye flight adventure Alex... Cheers 👏👏👏
I actually liked the menu, it was a healthy meal which is very rare.
But yes, very chic, specially their employees. Even the ground staff looked and behaved like a million bucks.
Thanks for being here John!
Question; I know that there are a lot of websites and apps that you can use to figure out this stuff however, how exactly do you figure out the flights and destinations/origins of the aircraft you spot? Great video as always bro!
By searching the registration or the playback function for that date -and time. There are many tricks that you can discover as you get used to the app.
Thanks for writing!
Air France looks good tbh. Nice seat and the food looked great although the beef looked a bit dry at my sight😅
The beef was actually fork tender and good. Just needed the salt. But I like the originality as it’s usually always some stew..
Air France is great!
GE90-94B on the -200ER sounds pretty similar to the GE90-115B on the -300ER and -200LR, it is just that the grind on the -94B is louder and the howl on the -115B is richer, but nevertheless they sound pretty similar on startup and takeoff.
Tres magnifique Mon Ami…..
Merci mon Ami! A bientôt!
How do you actually break the ice, like how do you initiate the conversation with crew? While boarding or once you've settled down on your seat. Love the content. Heel leuk 👌
Hey Manesh!
So, Spaniards are incredibly talkative and social. So that’s just a skill I have.. I’m good in creating social bonds.
I try to find a time when someone is not busy. Boarding is mostly very busy for crew, unless it’s almost the end of it.
I wouldn’t know how to exactly explain it. I try to adapt to every language and culture.
With Singaporean crew I keep it clam and professional while on Emirates I go and have a laugh.
@The Layover Aviation this is a great explanation mate! I'm a talkative and social person as well. However, I always feel that there is this wall between the passengers and crew that needs to be broken. Thanks for your insights though
Excellent video ✨and nice FIFA series 💫 still any remaining videos?
There are some around, but not fully Doha dedicated.
Mostly watching live football on the plane. But it’s a busy busy month for me so I’m doing my best to find any time!
Excelente video , y para cuando estrenas La Premier de air France!!?? Creo que así se llama
Ojalá!
Lo volé hace unos años, pero es caro caro..
Espero encontrar una buena oferta pronto 😄
@@TheLayoverAviation caro?? carriiiiisimo, , espero verte en primera clase de emirates y de Qatar airwais !!!
Wished you can do cockpit visit like sam... very good report
True.. But Sam has a huge channel and works with Airlines. I’m not there yet, for now. one day I will!
Sam has a huge channel and works with airlines. I’m not there yet, for now. But I will some day!
pls do fly in vistara 787-9 from delhi to frankfurt once in business class once
I’ll try, but it’s far off my way. I hope to find an offer soon!
What window mount do u use
My hands!
Saludos desde Bolivia 🇧🇴 y desde cochabamaba cuando puedes hacer un vuelo desde Madrid 🇪🇸 a Bolivia en boliviana de aviación boa
will use air france this coming summer
do you live in Dubui?
Yes I do live in Dubai.
Enjoy your flight! 😊
i have a feeling that DUBUI is a magical city to visit and live in
6:56, not really, sounds pretty similar to the -300ER
How far back did the seats recline?
You’ll have to Google it, I don’t know the exact angle..
Was it enough for you to sleep well though?
I appreciate it was a PE flight but thought the presentation of the food (although it looked very edible) was poor, still in plastic trays and the cutlery in that horrible wood/plastic. The interior of the aircraft certainly showing its age.
But as ever really interesting and very informative report.
I think that we’re getting very used to supreme Premium Economy’s so our expectations are even higher then before!
I was quite happy with the quality offering. But yes, the cutlery was a bit meh..
The aircraft is on the way out of the fleet so I understand that an interior refit was not in order.
It was surprisingly good for a +20 year old aircraft!
Thanks for watching!
good video. main dish looked bland and could have used a little bit more cooking. AF is a hit and miss product, unlike KLM --- that is a top notch European product. pretty solid, followed by Lufthansa. I would take KL anytime over AF. Last but not least, QR is a product in a completely different class of it's own. NOBODY can beat QR is any way --- not even Emirates. EK was great back in the 90s and beginning of Y2K, but not so more. DXB airport is a nightmare to navigate through. Many airlines did add or resume services to DOH but unfortunately, FAILED. What QR offers is NO WHERE close to what the others were offering.
The main course did look a bit boring but it’s a French classic and it was very good!
I can see you’re a big QR fan! But I would have to disagree with some of the things you say..
While I admire the intentions and ideas behind it all, I don’t fully buy it.. Yes, Qsuite is nice but that’s as long as you get it! Many times my nice A350 was swapped for an A330 or different so I end up disappointed.
Yes there is dine on demand but on 80% of the flights they never have what I request for.
The crew are mega professional but one mistake and they’re out, so I can notice their stress which bothers me. On one flight I asked them to stop using my last name and just call me “Alex” and they refused to do so.
And my worst flight ever on the A380 First Class was with them, I am still considering if to post the video or not because I don’t like to complain.
I love Emirates, my son loves it, their only weakness is the B777-300ER’s business but the crew, IFE and beverage selection makes me forget about it all..
Much more on QR coming up! I’ll actually do a Ramadan special with them and compare it to my last incredible Ramadan on EK.
I think you should fly nonstop from Paris to Dubai which will be easy for you instead of Doha.
I do that many times. But this trip I did so that I could do this special flight as it was seasonal.
I understand
You may be interested in checking out "mentour pilot". He recently did a video on the air France crash
I check his channel out quite often.
I’ll have a look at the video. I was actually living in Paris when that happened, what a sad occurrence..
Fly emirates Dubai to Munich a380 economy class
You getting on MEA
I hope to do so soon, I have some Lebanese friends in Dubai. Hope they take me soon!
Welcome back Croatia out of FIFA World Cup now your favorite team
Well, they finished 4th so that’s not so bad..
Now I hope Argentina wins, I would like Messi to retire with a bang!
Question. As a great reviewer of flights. Why would you promote Qatar as a great place and their airline exceeds considering their outrageous human rights towards Gays and more at FIFA? Your choice but think about it. Glad for ONCE you flew a great airline like AF!
I don’t really know when I promoted Qatar as a great place but I’ll have to say the following;
I know plenty of gays living in Qatar. And even more in the UAE. I even know transgenders. And while it’s not officially recognized; it’s here and I’ve never seen anything going wrong.
While I fully support progress, it takes time. Give Qatar a couple of decades to adapt. It took Europe many centuries too. There was a lot of gay and racial discrimination in my childhood where I come from.
I’m sure you enjoy a good cup of tea or coffee. That’s made in countries with modern day slaves . Countries where homosexuals continue to be prosecuted and poverty reigns. And yet nobody talks about that.
We can just go on and on!
Never liked Qatar or Turkish or Etihad.
The Layover aviation Fifa World Cup special edition continues right after these messages from your local sponsors.
😎
So far you flown how many different versions of B777????
I’m quite sure that I’ve flown on each one of them!
@@TheLayoverAviation How many different variant types of B777 are there exactly??? Six?
Oh no..... There goes the Frenchies again. Are you going to release Emirates Flight next?
I don’t know what’s next. I’m very busy so I’ll try to find something short and quick.
Emirates perhaps for xmas😃
Hmm…. Saving the best for last then. I know somewhere on your channel, many people besides myself requested it.
How come it is making a stopover in Doha?
Because the flight is actually to Dubai, it just happens to make a stop over in Doha because of the World Cup!
Oh okay just as I thought.
