About Air France (from Wikipedia):
Air France (French pronunciation: ​[ɛːʁ fʁɑ̃s]; formally Société Air France, S.A.), stylised as AIRFRANCE, is the flag carrier of France headquartered in Tremblay-en-France. It is a subsidiary of the Air France–KLM Group and a founding member of the SkyTeam global airline alliance. As of 2013 Air France serves 36 destinations in France and operates worldwide scheduled passenger and cargo services to 175 destinations in 78 countries (93 including overseas departments and territories of France) and also carried 46,803,000 passengers in 2019. The airline’s global hub is at Charles de Gaulle Airport with Orly Airport as the primary domestic hub. Air France’s corporate headquarters, previously in Montparnasse, Paris, are located on the grounds of Charles de Gaulle Airport, north of Paris.

Air France was formed on 7 October 1933 from a merger of Air Orient, Air Union, Compagnie Générale Aéropostale, Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne (CIDNA), and Société Générale de Transport Aérien (SGTA). During the Cold War, from 1950 until 1990, it was one of the three main Allied scheduled airlines operating in Germany at West Berlin’s Tempelhof and Tegel airports. In 1990, it acquired the operations of French domestic carrier Air Inter and international rival UTA – Union de Transports Aériens. It served as France’s primary national flag carrier for seven decades prior to its 2003 merger with KLM.

About Airbus A350 (from Wikipedia):
The Airbus A350 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner developed and produced by Airbus. The first A350 design proposed by Airbus in 2004, in response to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, would have been a development of the A330 with composite wings and new engines. As market support was inadequate, in 2006, Airbus switched to a clean-sheet “XWB” (eXtra Wide Body) design, powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent XWB turbofan engines. The prototype first flew on 14 June 2013 from Toulouse in France. Type certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) was obtained in September 2014, followed by certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) two months later.

    I flat out love them. Their meals were very great, their seats were spacious in economy, and i had a blast during my 8 hour flight from Washington to Paris.

  13. ita sd

    The fact that they do business class service with carts is so cheap and shocking , they are way behind.

  14. Paul Gizara

    Oh Dan, give it a rest. I no longer bother to watch your posts because I already know . . .you won't like IT. You need a new gig.

  15. Patrick S

    Désolé mais il y a 5 minutes à pieds entre le terminal 2E et le 2F, pour ce qui est de la porte M, il y a un métro qui y va. Vous deviez revoir votre plan de déplacement à CDG…

  16. Charles Kennedy

    The worst airline. NSD is correct that CDG is by far Europe’s worst hub, he left out three fiery crashes in the 00s and countless horrendous close shaves since involving poor piloting. Never ever ever ever ever fly this airline. As an aside, I don’t know why they’re so bad because other French airlines (Corsair, UTA) have or had good safety records and many aviation pioneers were French. Oh well

    Hi Dan! I love your videos but I really feel like your plant based diet holds these videos back on he culinary side, of course it’s your choice of life so we support it and I’m not in the position to critique, I am just talking content-wise 🙂

    7 hrs fly by in business class,??? Is 7 hrs longer in first class ? Or economy

  26. Mavi

    Love their butter cheese selections and pear liquor
    Next time try it
    I’ve been with them four times so far, the staff always suffers from mode swings and almost all passengers are walking on eggshells
    Lots of time you can tell the staff don’t get along

    I have fond memories of being told that J was out of a certain meal and then seeing the FAs chomping away on said meal in the galley.

    Bah just flew Business Class with Air France from Singapore to Paris. The crew really lived up to the French stereotype unfortunately 🙁 really disappointing

  33. Natchaka Leuthmetzer

    I flew business class Paris to Bangkok last week. !!!!!! it was the worst business class flight in my life and I have flown business class with over 10 airlines from Asia to Europe.!!!!!!

    It started at the "gate" that showed up not to be the gate to the airplane but the gate to walk down to waiting busses…. then we went on the bus and waited 10 minutes standing like "sardines in a can" before the bus left. The bus trip took about 15 minutes and when we came to the plane some trollies was parked in front of the bus and we had to wait another 5 minutes before the could get someone to move the trollies, then we had to wait another 5 minutes inside the bus before the staff entered the plane and came back?? so we was standing inside the bus for about half an hour before we was "released" and then had to walk towards the plane and up stairs with our hand luggage it was not easy , but of course no staff was there to help !!!!!! when I went into the plane the staff was standing talking to each other with the back to me and I just walked past them to go to my seat, they couldn't care less if I was a business class traveler or if I went to my own seat. WELCOME ONBOARD !!!!! After some time sitting at my seat looking at the inflight offers on the screen there was an announcement that the plane was going to be over an hour late because we was waiting for a passenger that needed to be transported to the plane…..

    So about 1 1/2 hour later the plane finally was ready to take off………

    I got handed over the business class kit, that is the worst kit I ever got on any business class, I even got much better kits on some economy class flights, It must have been shameful for the staff to hand over this to the passengers!!!!!

    Then it was time to look at a movie, I must say the screen was very easy to manage , but the inflight offers was not very good, I must say if I compare with other airlines this was probably one of the worst inflight contents offered.

    Now to the food…………………………………..

    The food served was TERRIBLE… The 2 starters I gave back after just tasting a little bit, the main course was eatable, but with no taste and I got many better dishes on low cast airlines… The only thing that tasted well was the vanilla ice-cream. The extra bread offered was also cold and not fresh.

    Some hours sleep and then we started the flight towards Bangkok.

    Breakfast was served. it was TERRIBLE TOO…. the bread was cold and "old" the omelet was made into something stiff cooked with some vegetable inside. It was send back…..

    I LOOKED AT OTHER PASSENGERS NEARBY AND THEY ALSO SEND MOST FOOD SERVED BACK BOTH FOR DINNER AND BREAKFAST.

    In general the coffee served did not have any taste and was thin and just drinkable.

    The orange juice was nice and cold.

    During this flight the staff was not very friendly and was acting like they just wanted this flight to end ASAP (that was also what I wanted).

    For me it is unbelievable that the English skills of the staff is soo poor, I flew many airlines from many non-native English countries but the staff on this Air France plane had the worst English of all, it was not possible to understand what came out of the speakers and just possible to understand maybe 60% of what was said to you directly.

    I HAVE FLOWN MUCH BETTER ECONOMY CLASS THAN THIS BUSINESS CLASS, TO OFFER A PRODUCT AND A PRESENTATION OF THE PRODUCT LIKE THIS IS VERY SHAMEFUL.

    PS. I nearly forgot!!!! when I booked the flight directly on Air France website it was promoted that the flight was going to be with the new A350….. But sadly it was with the old rundown 787.

    12 hours of " business class" worse than a normal economy class flight everything including the service to the food given.

    This is France! The food should be SPECTACULAR! Come on Air France, lift your game.

    I don't know if Air France still does this, but years back they would send me notices that I could purchase air miles with cash, getting tons of miles for a fraction of what a ticket would cost. I paid hundreds of dollars for these miles, adding them to my earned miles and waiting to use them for a year or so. However, I failed to notice one thing about the purchased miles… they expire after a short period if they aren't redeemed. Since these weren't miles I earned with flights, but paid for with cash, I didn't think they would expire. Thus, when I went to book that long desired first class flight to Paris using my miles, I had no miles. And when I called Air France, it was pretty much "tough luck" for not reading the fine print. I was out hundreds of dollars, not for air miles… but for air. Nada, zero, zilch. Air France lost me as a customer forever.

    I LOVED Air France. Flew Paris-Detroit and they gave us champagne and left the drink card in the middle of the plane for passengers to serve themselves and mingle. Iconic.
