    I flew on Air France’s new business class product on the Boeing 777 from Paris to New York, one of the more exciting product launches in the aviation world as of late.
    This flight features some of the largest business class seats you’ll find anywhere in the sky at the bulkhead in Rows 1 or 9!
    Find out what my experience was like onboard this luxurious transatlantic crossing.
    Booked with: 55,000 Flying Blue miles + $300

    Your "sweet bread" is called a "brioche" mon cher, and more specifically, it is a "brioche parisienne" (Parisian brioche), easily recognizable because it has a little ball on top, a "hat" (un chapeau). Voilà, you know everything about it now :) Bon appétit !

    Point of the little trackpad : use the screen with your seat fully leaned back (your hand should't be able to touch the screen in this position), and secondly use the screen without leaving fingerprints on it (cleaner display for the flight)

How much extra cost are the extra space seats? Probably be my preference as I am tall with large feet. Regarding the meals, odd that both had the strawberries with white chocolate.

    For my trip to Japan, a month ago, I booked on the Air France website in my personal space, 3 round-trip tickets 5 months before.
    Wanting to offer better seats to my family, I go on my reservation a few minutes after purchase and decide to buy seat options with more room for the round trip for more than 350 euros.
    On the morning of check-in, I discovered that the 3 seats I had reserved for the one-way trip were not available (ditto for the return trip). I call customer service and I am told that my seat reservation, paid 5 months ago,
    is not associated with my tickets, and that I paid for seats on a reservation without tickets. I only had one file on my account.

    So I found myself unable to fly comfortably and make my family happy. I had to wait 37 days to get my money back, and I have no compensation, no alternative, no excuse.
    Of course, there was no specific place available anymore and I was almost told that it was my fault not to have noticed that the file references are not the same.
    How can I know by going back to my customer area and going on my reservation and paying that the seats are not linked.
    In addition, the customer service tells me that my seat reservation is no longer valid, but they did charge me for non-existent seats.
    For AirFrance the customer is indeed the king... but the king of idiots....

    I read that Air France business class DO NOT have individual air conditioning ducts and the business cabins are "warm." Warm...is not a word I want to hear in regards to flying, especially six to eight hours worth. Your opinion?
    Also, when you decide to go from seated to lie-flat, I assume the process can be stopped at, say, 30 or 45 degree angle, if flat not to your liking?

    I never understood the thrill of traveling in business class. The whole point of traveling is to have the experience of travelling with other passengers, and you can see and hear other human beings. This feels like being in a box, totally isolated. Might as well stay in your room. I can understand this as a preference for "business" travellers though, since they travel all the time. Otherwise a waste of points.

      I try to speak very close to the microphone so that the audio is clear. Usually passengers sitting in other seats might hear a little bit of what's going on, but there's also lots of airplane noise that blocks it out. Plus, I try to only say a few words here and there for the videos so that I bother other passengers as little as possible :)
