    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 :)

    • @PitSpielmann

      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 ;-)

    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.

    • @PitSpielmann
      @PitSpielmann  5 років тому

      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.

      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 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

      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 ;-)
