The dejeuner was beautifully executed, With all the restaurant equivalent style and presentation. The FA seemed very attentive and professional. Another exceptional report. Bravo.
Thank you for the video. Air France often receives a bad press here on UA-cam. I have never traveled with them, but this video certainly shows them in a positive light. The food looked delicious!
Thanks Daniel for watching. Indeed, there sometimes appears to be some AF-bashing dynamic on UA-cam. As far as I'm concerned - and at least since I make flight reports, I've only had good or even excellent experiences.
Hello, I have commented before on previous videos you make and I do enjoy your reviews -- the music playing a good part. My only improvement I can make is to leave the subtitles a bit longer when they are on two lines... I had to rewind every time to read them in full. Oh, and I would have liked to see the Champagne list :) Other than that, it's better than watching TV! Thanks and fly safely :)
Thanks for your ongoing interest, I'm glad you like the video and music (again ;-) Other viewers had made similar remarks already on earlier videos. I have drastically reduced the amount of text since so there isn't THAT much reading any more but you're right about the two line titles. Will try to arrange that next time ;-)
Thanks for letting me know. Not sure if I could have gone to Terminal 1 though. Any way, at 1:28, you'll see that there's a noodle bar in this lounge, too. Only at 6 a.m., after an 8,5hr flight with dinner and breakfast, I wasn't much in a mood for noodles ;-)

Merci pour votre intérêt. Suite à l'expérience absolument géniale que j'avais eue il y a 3 ans avec Singapore Airlines, je m'attendais moi aussi à ce que, sur mes quatre vols vers Sydney et retour, celui avec SQ allait largement dépasser tous les autres. Et bien non; les quatre vols avaient leurs qualités comme leurs petites 'déceptions' mais Air France offrait deux fois une prestation d'une très grande, voire excellente, qualité.
Hello, as you were filming, it was obvious that you had the best service. You paid to have this excellent comfort. I worked with AF, I can tell you that is tremendously different on the other side of the Company. Personally, I love flying BRITISH AIRWAYS.
thanks for watching. Never flew BA long haul in Business Class yet. Heard that their service is great but I'm not convinced about that cabin layout and the forward/backward facing seats.
I really like how you reported on the trip. Concise information and none of that jabber jabber some of the other well known YT flight reporters do. I maybe would have liked to see the menu a bit longer. For a country that is home to the most prestigious cuisine in the world, the food and presentation looked distinctly uninspired. I think it is essential that the flagship airline of a country should mirror the country's cooking traditions on board. I am sure it all tasted adequate though.
Thanks for watching. Indeed, there certainly is some room for improvement concerning the tray/metal cover/metal sauce container on the plate/overall food presentation. But the food was fresh and tasty. Will try to show the menu a bit longer - and in English as suggested by an other viewer.
Hello Pit.I see you had a great time in this flight my friend.I wish I could say that and for their economy class.It is really the day and the night.I flew with them from Panama city to Paris in a 772 of AF and it was a torture.The seats were awfully discomfort and the legroom dissapointing.I hope that they will have improvements in their new planes for all passengers.Cheers
The "problem" with AF is that they are capable of the best ... and the worst. I was lucky to have had very good to excellent experiences these last years. But I remember some bad ones as well - before I started making flight reviews that is :-) Thanks for your continuous interest, Yannis.
Amazing video! Really enjoyed watching it. Thank you for sharing. ❤️ Love the music, the parts you got sprayed and not-so-secured door in the galley. 😆
True, and they appear to be quite nice but they'll have a 2-2-2 seating config (as opposed to 1-2-1 for the B777's) The overall cabin design, materials and colors look great though.
Pit, your are very thoughtful in chronicalling your flight experiences down to excellent selection of background music making watching that much more enjoyable. Keep up with the good work.
I guess so. I initially expected to fly around Mainland China via Japan & Vladivostok but it appears that they (Air France? French government?) found this agreement with the Chinese to fly the Hong-Kong route instead ;-) Interesting experience anyway. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you like it ;-) It’s the hippocampus that was the symbol of 1930 founded ‘Air Orient’ which operated flights to French Indochina (now Vietnam) and was one of the ‘airlines’ that, in 1933, fusioned into ‘Air France’. The hippocampus was chosen as a reference to the marine environment in which float planes then evolved, with wings symbolizing flight. In one way or another, it has been part of Air France’s visual identity ever since. Hence the sea horses in my vid's intro ;-) In case you’re interested, the link below shows the evolution of AF’s logo and visual identity throughout the years www.google.com/search?q=air+france+hippocampe&tbm=isch&source=hp&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiV1s-Prs_gAhWIjqQKHUAcDvkQsAR6BAgGEAE&biw=1600&bih=746#imgrc=zJY9_-_EeJRnOM:

Air France needs to get rid of those trays used in their business class meal service. They should instead place each item directly on the table like in a restaurant.
That's one of the remarks/suggestions I'd tell them, too. The ritual on Singapore Airlines or Austrian is so much nicer and really enhances the whole experience. In case you're interested, here are the respective flight reports: New Singapore Airlines A380-800 | SIN-SYD ua-cam.com/video/y0pb8XGVTFc/v-deo.html Austrian Airlines B777-200ER from Bangkok to Vienna ua-cam.com/video/KDBqDB-6TvE/v-deo.html
I always wonder can u get second if u r still hungry? Small bathroom and no one made your bed.... and if you get back on Saturday you can catch the Riot! JK
Never asked for a second round of food. The bathroom was quite big actually, definitely bigger then the "standard" B777 ones in the middle of the plane. Finally, since AF have no mattress or cover to put on the seat, nobody needs to make a bed. Thanks for watching, by the way.
Nineteen minutes of pure pleasure... Merci beaucoup, Pit Spielmann!
You're very welcome. I'm glad you like it ;-)

Another fabulous video! It makes me tired thinking of travelling for 30 hours.

Excellent report! Loved the music and that epic sunset 😊

Great video/editing/review !
Well I was only "threatened" by water, no crazy Norman Bates with a knife ;-))) Thanks for watching
Next time you are in TPE you need to try the CI lounge in T1. T2 lounge is adequate but T1 lounge is amazing design with a cool noodle bar.

The food service looks great. I have yet to fly on Air France.
It's worth trying. Just make sure you have a flight aboard one of their B777's equipped with the seats as shown in the vid ;-)
@@PitSpielmann I saw this week that AF will be upgrading their a330 business seats to a new design.
True, and they appear to be quite nice but they'll have a 2-2-2 seating config (as opposed to 1-2-1 for the B777's)
The overall cabin design, materials and colors look great though.
Pit, your are very thoughtful in chronicalling your flight experiences down to excellent selection of background music making watching that much more enjoyable. Keep up with the good work.
Thanks for your encouraging comment. I really appreciate it ;-)
Just took this from cdg to lax. AOK except the food could really use an upgrade in business
I read other comments in this sense on UA-cam. Must say that my experiences with AF have always been very good food-wise ;-) Thanks for watching.
Five star coverage
Thanks a lot Pritam for your ongoing interest.
excellent video Pit. You made one mistake though; you should have brought back a red wine from Aussie! Cheers
hahaha; Well, I'm definitely more into "white" then "red" wine - ;-) Thanks for watching.
wow hiya never been the first to any vid before
There's a first time for everything. Thanks for watching.
Long flight time bcoz they can't overfly the mainland?
I guess so. I initially expected to fly around Mainland China via Japan & Vladivostok but it appears that they (Air France? French government?) found this agreement with the Chinese to fly the Hong-Kong route instead ;-) Interesting experience anyway. Thanks for watching.
