World’s Best First Class? Air France La Premiere

  • I flew Air France from Nice to Dubai. During online check-in I decided to upgrade my ticket from Business Class to La Premiere, which is Air France's very exclusive First Class.
    I was escorted to the plane by an Air France agent in Nice. After a non-eventful one-hour domestic flight, I arrived at Paris CDG where I was met by my personal escort and a limo to the Air France Salon La Premiere (lounge). I enjoyed some of the great French food and drink there before I headed off for my next flight to Dubai.
    The Air France Paris to Dubai flight was a B777-300/ER. I was fortunate enough to be the only passenger in La Premiere. Take a look at the understated luxury design and elegance of the cabin. Combine with great French gastronomy and La Premiere remains one of my favourite all-time First-Class experiences. During the video, I also reveal the best way to fly in La Premiere.

    I would put Air France, among Emirates, Singapore Airlines, ANA and Lufthansa among my top 5 First Class experience. Have you traveled in Air France La Premiere? What are your thoughts? I hope you find the tip of getting a last-minute buy upgrade useful to fly on this product. OK before you think airline pay me to say great things, think twice! Which airline pays me to reveal their lowest upgrade secret to harm that First Class revenue? :)

      The best way to create and maintain wealth is by investing, investments saves one from not working all through their life time expecting to retire and enjoy their labor at the age of 60-62 as the case maybe.
      And my question is, will you be physically fit to enjoy the fruits of your working years?.

    I have been fortunate enough to fly La Premiere twice from Paris to NY. I caught specials both times and payed LESS that business class. Only thing missed here (since he didn’t originate in Paris and likely not a long enough layover) is the escort upon arrival in CDG thru security ti the lounge, the complimentary facial or massage, and the private jet bridge on the A380 into the La Premiere cabin. Truly one of the most amazing flying experience ever. And I had a few minor sked changes on my journey and Air France truly went above and beyond to compensate me for my “inconvenience”. Seriously one of the best flying experiences ever!

      Air France is doing the best they can do. I kept flying with them during pandemic and they keep their standard. They did not try to cut corners nor lowered their service. Instead they modernised their fleet to save on fuel (sold their A380s and bought A350s and B787s) and saved money by closing pos in high real estate areas. They did what other airlines should have been doing.

      On the awkwardness level, the American guy filming himself and speaking to a camera can feel uncomfortable and rude to the people working for you as you're ignoring their presence to speak to an inanimate object. Filming yourself and having a big and loud sense of self is also not very well perceived.

    I thought the La Premiere lounge at CDG was incredible. Food was amazing. I had the same pasta dish as you. I love that they have a car that directly takes F pax directly from airplane to the lounge. I remember there was a metal screening machine before you take an elevator up to the lounge. I was the only person so there was no wait time (maybe BA F should copy La Premiere. This is how first class is done). Very civilized! While I like Emirate A380 better in terms of sleeping quality as well as shower, La Premiere lounge experience is infinitely better than Emirates' or Etihad's.

    Ok, I'm half French (and German) so probably not neutral, but I definitely think the cabin looks like a living room, like 'home', and the curtain, the lamp and bedlinen turn the seat into a cozy bedroom. The same counts for the dedicated area at the airport, it also looks comfortable. We Frenchies love our comforts and put more $ into good food and wine than into glittery-shiny things...( and I agree with the lady driving you at the airport CDG, it is a messy one...well, nothing's perfect in this world unfortunately ).
