World's best Business Class seat | Air France Boeing 777 suite (trip report)

- Опубліковано 10 чер 2024
- Join me on a flight in the world's best Business Class seat onboard an Air France Boeing 777-300ER airplane from Johannesburg to Paris.
Air France's Boeing 777 features two Business Class cabins. The suites at the front of these cabins (in rows 1 and 9) feature an enormous amount of extra space, which you usually find in First Class, if not more (IMHO, making them the world’s best Business Class seats). These bulkhead suites feature sliding doors, wireless charging, bluetooth audio, and more.

I love Air France, especially their business class product. I flew on a 777 to Paris last summer in business class and loved it. Air France's catering is top notch.
My trusted Johannesburg departure reviewer comes through once again. Beautifully captured as always.💪
Thank you 😊
I’ve flown Air France recently from CDG to MRU in Premium Economy with a 777 and I really enjoyed it. The Seat was comfortable and the Service was friendly and efficient. I think that AF has made a huge step forward with its hard product as well as with its soft product. I would fly them anytime again. And thank you for the nice Video. It’s always so relaxing watching your Videos. 😊
I Like Air France Business Class Product,The Best Seats In The Cabin.Great Trip Report
Great video as usual but did miss the little titbits of info normally in captions.
You have to turn on the subtitles (click the subtitle/cc icon in the UA-cam video player)
@@luxurytravelexpertAny particular reason for changing from in video captions to subtitles. I although preferred the old style captions.
@@adityabenwalca it allows more people to watch the video with subtitles in their own language and many followers were complaining about the in-video subtitles being too small
@@luxurytravelexpertWell then these feel too big to me personally. But its ok, if you feel so. I still like the videos.
I cannot wait to experience the business class out JFK. Looks worth every penny spent. Great video.
Thx
My wife and I are flying BOS to CDG on the a350 in row 1 D&H and selected it when I purchased the tix. I have no status on any airline. Can't wait for the food.
Oh, to be able to lie down during a long flight. I might even be able to fall asleep! Thanks for the ride, Dr. LTE. Excited to hear that you'll be returning to the US next week!
Not next week … early next year 😉
@@luxurytravelexpert which, of course, you stated clearly on the video caption. I got over-excited--lol.
Great job as always LTE....always fun to take a business flight through your lens.
Thank you for your kind comment
Very high quality, as usual.

@@thetraveller334 Woooaaaww, chill out man, It may not be his native language. And the French are said to be intolerant of foreigners who speak their language! But elsewhere it's the same. i'm saying that because i'm French.
you have a wonderful life , kind regards from panama
color setting of the cabine is a nogo for me, cold, clinical
Awesome Lounge, Very nice Flight, Too good Video
Oh Swiss still using A340... Now thats a blast from the past airplane a classic
Another great video! Like the new caption font, much easier to read with my aging eyes. Thank you , and safe travels always.
Thank you for sharing this video. Always enjoy your videos. When I took AF B777 from JFK to CDG I was at the opposite side of row 9. The space was really really good. I just realized that you captured certain shots that I did not have in my AF B777 video. Once again, thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks Much !.......
Well, not a thing of beauty, but! love the space, privacy and nose camera! ( and John Wick ) ♥️ it's interesting how people sit in a row ( lounge ) all staring at their phones ... doesn't anyone talk to one another, anymore? There's a disconnect somewhere along the line ... ( I should talk! I watched this video on my phone! Lol!) 😊 Nice report, dear LTE ... happy trails!
The thumbnail hit me as an RIP moment.
Anyways, thank you for always showcasing South Africa. It reminds us there's more to this place than some of the things we do to make the craziest headlines.
The colour of the cabin is warm and welcoming pink is a relaxed colour, and take your shoes off the ottoman your not at home
nice cabin! I used to fly Amsterdam-Paris, Paris-Windhoek with a stopover in Johannesburg in the years AF used the 747 with 1st Class always a night flight Paris-Johannesburg-Paris which was very convenient. Stopover in Johannesburg was around 1.30 hr. and to/from Windhoek another 2 hours I think.
That lounge room ... packed
Wow! Utah!! I can hardly wait!
👏
Great review reminded me of the many commutes I did ex SIN to Congo then other ports in west Africa, best cheese and especially the Pear spirit a great pick us up! Crews always were the best and pax were their priority!
Great video as always! Haven't flown AF, but have done KLM business. I am surprised at the colour scheme as well. Honestly, those two tone beige colours remind me of old computer cases from the 80s and 90s. It actually gives the vibe of cheap plastic.
I have flown on AF in la premiere. I have found that i love it, but now need to find a way to afford it more often as it is my preferred level of treatment lol.
I have flown Air France many times, and I really like them. Most times in La Première, which in my opinion is exceptional.
Thank you for your wonderful information. Great content as always.
Happy Holidays to you and yours, thank you for a great year of wonderful reports!
Thank you for your kind comment (as always) and Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones as well
I was going to say, I didn't find much special about the hard product here compared to other J products, until I saw the bulkhead seats!
I can’t wait o see Amangiri, so excited. Mele Kalikimaka and Hau’oli Makahiki Hou (Merry Christmas and Happy New Year). Aloha!
Idk if Air France still has that fun safety demonstration video.
Love Air France and always fly them on YYZ-CDG. The handwritten Bienvenue note was a nice touch. Was the cabin crew efficient and kind? It is to be hoped. Your reports are simply amazing, well flimed and oh so relaxing. Thank you!
Yes, the cabin crew was very kind
I so want to travel after seeing these videos but with my bank balance I can barely make it to another block.
J’adore Air France
❤️🇫🇷
I like amenity bag by air France very nice 👍👍👍🇹🇭🇹🇭🙏🙏
Amazing i love this video and interesting ❤
❤❤ merci excellent video
I don t understand why the magazine and sécurité booklets are stored in a beige compartment …doesn t match at all the Nice White and Darik blue !!!
Fly tomorrow on seat A9 to South Africa. Really looking forward to it 😊
Enjoy your flight
Looking forward to the US videos ❤
11:49 That epic thrust reduction was my fav part of this vid. Hey, I am turbofanlover, after all. ;)
P.S. Looking forward to seeing you on my side of the pond in 2024. That resort in Utah is intriguing.
This very moment is n o t my favourite 😂
@@matahari8456To each their own. But like I said, I love turbofan engines. They are simply awesome, IMO. :)
Yummy yummy great food sweet cake love all this
Enjoy Johannesburg while you still can...
Do you mean regarding crime?
@@pascalbrode3206 I mean regarding genocide.
Worlds best ? Hmm. If you think. I would guess that Emirates, Cathay and Lufthansa's business is equal. But hey...
It sure looks better than 10 years ago because AF invested nearly 1 billion € in all products. Lounges. Uniforms. Cabins. Planes.
It shows !!!
I prefer AF to my national carrier, BA, in all classes. I would even go out of my way to fly with them on shorthaul itineraries, even if it added extra hours, but the connections at CDG always let me down and made me retreat to BA (on shorthauls)! The bad connections at CDG probably won't be fixed anytime soon, unfortunately.
Great video ! But I think Qatar Qsuite remain the world best Business class. The double bed for couples, the dyptique products, the white company pyjamas, the table dressed for lunch or dinner... and also in certain route the Qsuite are quite affordable (I paid 1420 euros for Paris to Phuket).
Amazing report! I prefer Singapore Airlines!
I flew with the Business class to Havana, Cuba around 2008 on the 747-400. The seat back then was TERRIBLE so I am glad to see lots of improvement.
Well done.
I’m looking forward to my flight JNB to CDG on AIR FRANCE B777. I will compare to airlines I have flown in business and first class in the past: EMIRATES, QATAR AIRWAYS, CATHAY PACIFIC, ETIHAD, SINGAPORE AIRLINES, SOUTH AFRICAN, PHILIPPINE AIRLINES, THAI AIRWAYS and LUFTHANSA
Enjoy your flight
So we get Utah video early next year?? Nice. Burj al-Arab? Return visit to the Soneva twins (Jani and Fushi).. 2024 looking good. Was that your last video of the year? You've earned a rest!
@luxurytravelexpert question - do you think you row 1 in front of business class would be disturbed by galley and bathroom enough that bulkhead was not worth it?
Great video, we presented. I must say though that chair did not look very comfortable to get some sleep, or maybe was just me 😊
Maybe is a silly question...but AF has option for special meal menu (diabetic, vegan, gluten or dairy free) in that class? Is a top menu as well?
Yes
Very impressive! Thanks Dr. LTE!
Air France est épouvantable j’ ai pris l’avion en business Toronto Paris et retour mai et fin juillet un vrais désastre.La cabine était avec du duck tape .La nourriture désastreuse pas vraiment confortable. Nous venons de prendre Turkish airlines qu’elle merveille la nourriture était très bonne. La cabine impeccable .Le service était parfait.Nous sommes partis de Toronto to Bangkok toujours en business.Nous recommandons à tout le monde de choisir Turkish.
👏🤩
Is this seat better than The Room on ANA? Most would disagree.
Yes 😉
@@luxurytravelexpert The seat is perhaps better if you have status and you're all but guaranteed the bulkhead seat. In The Room, the spacing appears to be more even no matter where you sit. Arguably, Air France may have a nicer soft product, but from what I've seen of The Room, the hard product is hard to beat.
First time I've ever heard of a French whisky. 🥃🤔
Unfortunately only the rich can afford to fly on business class with this setup in business class greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 or someone who's company is footing for the flight 😊
No you don't I'm not rich and I fly business class London to Bangkok 2k if your willing get a long flight £1800. Your pay £ 800 economy just don't drink alcohol or smoke go to cheaper supermarkets its bloody easy. Then when you're away you can have a right good jolly
Awesome, very nice to visit this place. Wherever I go I surprised a lot
I've been flying on Air France since the mid 1980s. I have always found their SERVICE, food and general comfort extremely good. MILES above USA carriers (especially on USA domestic flights). I DO speak French and understand the French culture, so perhaps it helps that I don't come across as an insecure, demanding or "pushy" American!
What an odd, supercilious comment. Feeling insecure?
@@pacmanc8103 Nope, you're just too much of an untraveled plebe to understand it.
If you don’t mind sir plz plz change music bcz it too loud i follow your videos sir last 3years i love your background music those days right now it too loud and quick type music which feel inappropriate after 1hour video plz be consider it thnx
You are my inspiration sir always great take yourself
By 🫶🏻
How was the steak? :)
Delicious 🙂
you should fade customers faces out guys.. privacy, just saying,
12:24 ....OK...I've listened to that engine for about 4 seconds.........youre gonna be next to it for 12 hrs?!?!!?!? Poor seat selection dude!
The European carriers are so much behind the Middle Eastern carriers and the one from Asia.
I wonder why the airlines owned by and subsidized by oil billionaires whose high end seats are paid for and cater to the same criminal billionaire aholes are nicer. Maybe it's a coincidence. Still can't get a drink, because religion.
World's best Business Class seat ?
That breakfast is given to economy passengers on Emirates and Qatar airways
Sorry but QR Q-suite is better
怎麼會是best
笑死誰
DISCLAIMER: It turns out that those terrific "larger" Rows 1 and 9 seats are ONLY available for "Flying Blue" mileage "Silver" level and above customers -- and even THEY can only "request" (no guarantees) those rows 24 (to 72) hours in advance, depending on Flying Blue category. So obviously this reviewer who flies a lot -- has such privileges.
I have FB Silver status and was able to select those main and mini cabin bulkhead seats on the A350-900 rows 1 and 10 months ahead.
I just booked seat 1L yesterday for a flight in October 2024. I have no special status at all.
same here! just selected and have no status
@@teetertotter5787
I hav booked those same seats, without a hurdle or a problem. I firmly believe that you need to relax…
Row 1 will not be the extra wide bulkhead on all 777 variants. This is the new business seat and most aircraft will yet to be retrofitted
🤮🤮🤮🤮
