  • In this video, you’ll see what it’s like to fly to Paris on an Air France 787 Dreamliner in Business Class!
    With borders slowly opening up to international travelers, more and more people find themselves booking flights abroad. Perhaps you’re one of them? Watch this video to decide whether you’d like to fly with Air France.
    Tonight’s flight across the Atlantic Ocean will clock in at a more typical seven hours and we’ll reach an altitude of 38,000 feet over the nearly 4,000 mile journey.
    You’ll see the Delta Sky Club an Air France business class ticket gets you into. You’ll get to check out the Air France 787 Business Class Seat, the Air France Inflight Entertainment, and the Air France Business Class food. But, perhaps most importantly, you’ll get a sense of the impeccable Air France Service on this overnight flight!

    Adore “pack some patience”. I travelled yesterday from Seattle to Doha in QSuite on the way to Athens and checking in 3 hours before takeoff was a great idea. We all need to realize that the privilege of international travel requires staying calm and carrying on.

    “Pack some patience” is great advice & I wish more people would do just that! Fortunately I didn’t run into any outbursts on flights to & from Iceland (on Delta) a couple of months ago. We were in Main Cabin for that trip but looking forward to AF Business in June-even more so after this video. Thanks for taking us on the ride!

    • @Originalman144
      @Originalman144 2 года назад

      Same. I flew United twice to EU. The documents were checked outside of security at check-in counter -- not at the gate. This reduces the gate congestion as everyone arrives to the airport counter in waves, not all at once. Even if you are carry-on-only docs should be checked at the bag drop counter. Much more efficient. On the European side this was also the process. No issues.

    Flew from Frankfurt to Nairobi in June on Lufthansa. Inbound flight was easy and entry to Kenya too. But getting back home was a mess.
    Local staff at Nairobi checked my documents 5 times before even boarding. They had 3 security checkpoints which took ages.

    Its so good that the USA is opening again for europaen travelers in November. I travelled to Greece in September this year and it was my first trip for vacation since 18 months. It has changed a lot. There‘s a lot of paperwork to do before you can enter the Country. It could be done online. Infact I prepared a checklist with things to do before I could go. Just make always sure that you‘re up to date with the current country regulations.

Looking forward to more travels soon!

    i haven't travelled internationally for a number of years now - probably not covid-related if I'm honest - but nice to see upgraded IFE, cabin refresh, seats, etc. when i think of the business class AF 330 i was on last. only thing i may have thought was a downgrade was the amenities kit, i recall mine from AF in 2017 as being one of the better ones I've received on my roughly 2 dozen transatlantic flights on different carriers. thanks jeb. good to see new long-haul videos

    I recently flew with Air France from SFO - CDG, and the boarding process was similar. They had several people at the gate checking everyone's paperwork, and we were only delayed a couple minutes. We also had to fill out the contact sheet for a possible COVID case. I think these precautions are most necessary, and there's no doubt international travel has changed. I don't see it returning to normal anytime soon.

Steerage class, it was a cheap flight, but still, Air France, A350, currently with only 51 passengers on board in economy. Surprisingly, Premium Econ is sold out, and Business is more than half full. I love the airline, service has always been great, food better than average, even out of the US, and I love the duty free area in Chas de Gaulle. Glad you had a great flight, I'm looking forward to ours.

    just returned last week from a trip to Greece on American's flagship business class flying out of LAX...was a wonderful experience. I sure needed all my patience and good thing I had a three hour layover in JFK before heading to Athens....I needed every minute of it...arrived at my departure gate as we were boarding! thanks for a great video!

    My return flight from Paris to Minneapolis was through the AF dream liner too in August 2021 business class. The wifi on that plane also didn't work. Otherwise everything else went smooth. Thank God for Global entry I was out quickly from passport control to catch my connection to Las Vegas.
