I'd guess it's a good idea to pay for Premium. You had excellent legroom and a pretty decent dinner. The breakfast snack was not impressive, but overall this appeared to be a good experience on a low-cost airline. I'm surprised that so many people go to Reunion.
lots of french go causes it's really a domestic flight ,many people have family and friends iether end, they use the euro ,speak french (most do anyway) and is beautiful with great hiking adventures and surfing but the latter does have many shark attacks
France is so unusual country, that domestic flights there take more than 10 hours. Unusual tripreports about flights to unusual destinations - that’s one of the things I love about Simply Aviation 😀👍✈️
In Europe Low-Cost Long-Haul Carriers have struggeled to be successful but in Asia specially South East Asia, Low Cost Airlines rulez. Even Singapore Airlines also had to created low cost airlines to compete other competitor. In SEA, a flight ticket equal to one whole month salaries.
French Bee SAS, styled as French bee, and formerly named French Blue, is a French low-cost, long-haul airline based at Paris Orly Airport. It operates a scheduled network between France and worldwide leisure destinations with a fleet of Airbus A350 aircraft. Its head office is in parent company Groupe Dubreuil's offices in the Belleville-sur-Vie area of Bellevigny, Vendée, France
That price was good for this route, and legroom was amazing for a low-cost airline. It's just the seat was quite narrow. Food also doesn't look very appealing, but considering COVID-19, it's totally understandable. I'd love to try them in the future
Thank you for this review! I traveled to Paris via French Bee two years ago and they were excellent. The crew was very sweet and efficient and it was a smooth ride, I still can't believe they're a low-cost airline. The only thing I didn't like were how narrow the seats were, I thought it was just me and my wide hips 😂
Technically an internal flight but via a lot of international territory.I don't know if you have to take a passport on these French Outer Territories flights but I would in case something happens and you get diverted to say Durban!
Fascinating video, thanks. Man, those stewardesses sound soooo damn sexy with their wonderful French accents... Shame the accountants had to squeeze in and extra row of seats - like budget flying isn't already a sodding nightmare enough...
what do you think about the seat ? On Air france it's horrible , unconfortable . On air austral the seat is good. It will be my first time on french bee .
Of the 30 plus airlines now flying the Airbus A350, only Air Carabies operate a 3 - 4 -3 configeration on this aircraft, now thats pushing it for comfort on an 11 hour flight. The livey of this airline has to amongs the best coolest in the world, beaten only by the Malysian A350. Paying a Premium fare on a French airline, I would at least expect some fresh fruit, cheese and a croissiant for breakfast. Seat 32 K is an excellent choice Felix, you did your homework on Seatguru. The poor dog at the end was barking for a pee after 11 hours :))
Air Caraibes only operates to Atlantic French islands, Rèunion and Mayotte have Air Austral as theirs and the French bee is common everywhere (even in pacific French islands) .. how strange right?? 😁
So I was wondering if you buy the most basic ticket, you wouldn't get Amenity kit and food (which includes that breakfast) right? So an 11 hours flight without any food is possible?
Except that its 16.5 inches Y seat width pushed this flight right back to solid LCC territory...oh sorry, ULCC(Ultra-Low Cost Carrier) territory to be exact. I guess the fancy IFE(In Flight Entertainment) system in this cabin does mask this LCC reality very well for pax who are super slim models typical in the fashion capital of Paris....
There is a Pakistani based airline called Air Blue. Jetblue never objected them unless if they travel to the United states. And in Brazil we have Azul Airlines which basically means Blue Airlines when translated haha.
Since there is no seat in front of 37K do all your bags need to be stored in the overhead bin? Can you leave a personal bag to your side / in front of you? Great vid! Thanks!
great report!. food quantity was terrible. i just did yvr-muc last week and got one hot meal all vegaterian no option and one drinks run in 9hr 30 min. shockimg for a so called 5 star airline in lufthansa
Well, 3-4-3 on A350 looks scarry, especially if it's set to become a standard (as it became standard on B777 and 3-3-3 on B787 - and the next things to fear would be 2-3 on E170-190 and 3-3 on A220). Some re-regulation in aviation industry establishing standards regarding the minimum living space for passengers would be necessary at this point
Sure you can, but why would you want to? Seems to me to be a very strange thing to serve as part of the main course. Probably tastes good, but I would expect it as part of a dessert.
The arrival runway at FMEE is always 14, the shortest one. Unless there are particular weather conditions, but those are rare cases. As for the departure runway at LFPO, I would guess from the sun that it is RW24, but I wouldn't play my life on it.
@@louisbeerreviews8964 You miss the point. Since Reunion is technically part of France--a department, not a possession or a colony, a flight there from Paris is technically a domestic flight. Not so for Thailand.
@@shreyaskulkarni4805 They opened a long haul base in Stockholm ARN (most probably temporary), after Norwegian stopped their LH services. They have extra A350 capacity this winter, their main market China/Japan not fully open yet. This winter season Finnair fly ARN to LAX, JFK, MIA, BKK, HKT. The same destinations served from HEL as well.
Felix and David congratulations on your amazing channel the new introduction is the best this video gets 100% awsome I'm a flight attendant hope i have you guys on my flight doing a video can't wait to see what you come up with next time. Cheers :D

This is by far the best aviation UA-cam channel . No nonsense talks , no glamour , not biased it's Simply Aviation ..
To each their own, I prefer the channels that talk because it allows them to describe the product beyter
Never knew bees in France are that big!
Haha yes 😂
Yes bro
Bee which is fly by pilots
Omg so funny WAPP
LOL 🤣
Never heard a airline like this.. now because of you, now we know it!
Bruh see air caraïbes
Can’t wait to travel, our international boarders are finally opening next month 😍 I love watching your vids gets me happy
The approach into Reunion is beautiful! Hope to make it down there someday.
Yup it is
Once you eat the food you won't want to leave!
That shot from the back of the plane. Very awkward seat layout when downsizing from four across to three due to the plane's curvature

They were called French Blue until, and this is a true story, they lost a lawsuit to JetBlue.
@@joezegers Well, I feel the name French Bee has a much nicer ring to it, anyway.
@KLienne true, but idk why jetblue sued. It's not like they use French Blue lol

The frenchbee livery is beautiful
Hey there! How do you guys mount your camera onto the window? And do you use a GoPro or some other camera? Great review btw!
I believe there is a suction thingy to attach to the window pretty similar ot GPS holders in cars
Ok
WOW!!! I was not ready for that 😭
As a France, I can confirm to fly a French Bee Airbus A350-900 from Paris Orly to Réunion
Great video, that 3-4-3 seems tight , but did you feel comfortable ?
Yeah wasn’t to bad to be honest but yeah more cozy than the regular 3-3-3
Simply amazing and lovely
Great report! The intro is really nice!
Wow, il y a pas mal de place vacante à bord. Les vols French bee pour la destination Tahiti Polynésie Française sont quasiment remplis.
Comment tu sais sa m inetresse
I wish i could fly this airline, very nice tripreport
Low cost airline with A350 just wow
Love from 🇮🇳
desde Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Saludos y excelente video, Felicidades
Hi simply aviation I am your biggest fan and you guys are very cool and keep it up for this tripreport
I love the A350
Wow I Loved This Trip report very much it's very Nice Trip Report . I was Waiting For This Video so Long
Lavion klm c'est beau et j'adore l'embarquement
Great trip, it's looks like flower instead Butterfly to make it logic with the airline name.
It's always wonderful to see A350's @ airports...Amazing man loved the video much.. I think this is the longest domestic flight within France
The longest one was / is Papeete (Tahiti) from Paris
honestly I would rather wider seats then good legroom, nice review!
La livrée est magnifique 👏💎😇👍
🐝🐝🐝 French bees are massive!! 🐝🐝🐝
what do you think about the seat ? On Air france it's horrible , unconfortable . On air austral the seat is good. It will be my first time on french bee .

Best flight u will ever experience
low cost carrier with an in-flight entertainment??!...woww..it was like a full service flight actually..

I’m trying to see how frenchbee is cause I’m flying from EWR-ORY in a few weeks and want to see how it will be like
Did you fly with them? If so, how did it go?
Hi I'm new here luv your vids
There is a Pakistani based airline called Air Blue. Jetblue never objected them unless if they travel to the United states. And in Brazil we have Azul Airlines which basically means Blue Airlines when translated haha.
and there is the Romanian carrier Blue Air
@@jlkanne8330 oh yes. Thats right. :)
Azul and jetBlue were founded by the same person
Huh. I guess the airline founder's favorite color is blue.
@@GracemarieJohnson2763 i guess so. haha
Amazing a350 airline and video👍😍😀
The A350 Is cool
for a 2020 flight that's a full meal!
Nice video. Do you have flight Reunion Paris ?
Very good video my friend, Thanks for sharing!
Looks ok 👍🇬🇧
Love You French Bee Airbus A350-900
Felix is so cute 😄😄
you need to come visit Lyon one day bcits nice with the view a smaller version of the Eiffel Tower The stadium and more
But do they ever look at things like that? Judging by their videos all they ever see are airports.
Excellent video!😸
I reallly missed your videos bro
15:28 I dont know why dog is barking here at island???
Since there is no seat in front of 37K do all your bags need to be stored in the overhead bin? Can you leave a personal bag to your side / in front of you? Great vid! Thanks!
Yes, all bags need to be stored in this seat, but only during take off and landing. You can have your bag near you during the rest of the flight.
@@simply_aviation thank you!
1:24 the bag tag is trying to tell us something
The only decent looking thing on that meal tray was the President butter lol
great report!. food quantity was terrible. i just did yvr-muc last week and got one hot meal all vegaterian no option and one drinks run in 9hr 30 min. shockimg for a so called 5 star airline in lufthansa
In A350, economy class has 3-4-3. I’ve never seen that before.
Ohh what do they usually have?
3-3-3
Some A330s also have 3-3-3 which also is very tight
@@Ben-go1iq But the worst squeeze of all is 2-4-2 on a 767. Yes, some airlines do it.
Well, 3-4-3 on A350 looks scarry, especially if it's set to become a standard (as it became standard on B777 and 3-3-3 on B787 - and the next things to fear would be 2-3 on E170-190 and 3-3 on A220). Some re-regulation in aviation industry establishing standards regarding the minimum living space for passengers would be necessary at this point
The flight was awesome wish I could go too
does anyone know what tripreport the shot from 15:49 is from ? its so beautiful
somewhere over the alps maybe ?it's on all they videos now ,please tell us felix
Looks like a 767 or 777 and would agree on the alps
How does frenchbee compare in regards to air france or air tahiti nui? Is it better?
ok but the livery its perfect imo
I love your title song
Not sure if you guys ever get this question, any reason why you choose to record in 50fps instead of 60fps?
Imagine travelling for 11 hours but its still a domestic flight. lol
Vive la France 💖
They should serve honey croissant 🌚
Im flying with them August 16th from Orly to LAX
Nicee!
The longest domestic flight
Seat and meal oké, but breakfast disappointing. At least a warm croissant would have been nice
No free food for a such long flight?
U traveled into a smol country wich i discoverd
Please make trip report of Qatar airways a350-900 business class
that's a good idea there
Always enjoy watching simply aviation!
3-4-3 on an a350 sounds miserable
Hiw abt on air caraibes?
I didnt know you could grill pineapple
Sure you can, but why would you want to? Seems to me to be a very strange thing to serve as part of the main course. Probably tastes good, but I would expect it as part of a dessert.
I really want to travel abroad.
But unfortunately I had to self-isolate when I return
Please add the departure runway and the arrival runway
The arrival runway at FMEE is always 14, the shortest one. Unless there are particular weather conditions, but those are rare cases.
As for the departure runway at LFPO, I would guess from the sun that it is RW24, but I wouldn't play my life on it.
I wish i can travel europe one day cause my sister is in denmark right now
Why do you need to play for everything in a longhaul flight in my opinion its not okay
I thought the logo was a clover 🍀 not a butterfly 🤔
Longest regular domestic flight in the world
CDG-RUN is a bit longer 😉
