Hello all
I flew to LAX from CDG with AF
I visited my folks here in france.... (I used to live there)
Flight from MRS was on time, I headed to the Terminal E, I have been warmly welcomed by the ground staff, she checked my BP, then we passed the security, I was the sole passenger for FC, while the coach class line was full...
the lounge is very close, it took us 1 min. As soon as I reched the lounge, my passport and Bording Pass were collected... for inspection..
As you will see from the pics, it was a good lounge, but for business class, you expect more for FC lounge, like NZ in LAX, no wireless connection (free)
it was 12;40, an agent came and drove me to the plane with a mercedes benz..
The FA is charge of FC cabin was stunning, ( she worked on concorde )...
the seat : 1A as usual, i slept 7 hours straight
IFE : worked, yes it's not a joke!!!! I dream AF will copy SQ....
time to see what you eat for lunch :
Appetizer : white radish ravioli with aragula and ricotta cheese, carrot cake flavored with gringer and cinnamon
Hors d'oeuvre : scallops with ras-el-hanout spices with cucumber and tomatoes.... so tasty
Main course : filet of beef with earl grey jus, paired with radish, peas. good as well
Dinner :
Hors d'oeuvre : sheep's milk cheese wrapped in nori
main course : veal accompanied by sweet-and-sour sauteed zucchini with basil
Verdict : paying 12000 euros round trip ( P fare ), it can be a disappointment... but be relieved i used an award ticket....the crew were very nice
Check In: 10 (Friendly and free)
Lounge: 6 ( I expect more from AF)
Boarding: 10( by car)
Seat: 9.5 (a bit wider could be nice)
Crew: 9 (always looking after you)
Meal: 8 (good.)
Entertainment: 7 (working for once)

Hello all
I flew to LAX from LHR with AF with my friend
I was there for christmas
Flight from LHR was on time, we headed to the Terminal E, we have been welcomed by the ground staff but nothing special, she checked our BPs, then we passed the security, she did not even say a word while walking to the lounge, we were 2 passengers in FC, while the coach class line was full...
the lounge is very close, it took us 1 min. As soon as I reched the lounge, my passport and Bording Pass were collected... for inspection..
As you will see from the pics, it was a good lounge, but for business class, you expect more for FC lounge, like NZ in LAX, no wireless connection (free)
it was 9;45, an agent came and drove me to the plane with a mercedes benz..
The FA is charge of FC cabin was not stunning, there is no word to explain how he did the job, i'm speechless
the seat : 1A as usual, i slept 3 hours straight
IFE : worked,
time to see what you eat for lunch, I have to say this meal and the dinner were the best meal I have ever taste on AF :
Appetizer : shrimp with mascarpone cheese and chervil, brochette of smoked salmon and marinated cucumber, white radish with vegetables
Hors d'oeuvre : lobster salad
fresh seasonal salad
Main course : casserole of eggplant, zucchini and tomato, celery topped with tapenade, with filet of beef with lemon grass jus
Dinner :
Hors d'oeuvre : sweet potato and pickled ginger rolled in nori with crisp vegetables
main course : I took both meal, it was a good treat...
1 : veal, jus flavored with ajowan caraway, carrots with anchovy flan
2 : pan-seared prawns served with marinated mango and cilantro flan
Don't tell me I'm greedy, I know it !!
Verdict : paying 12000 euros round trip ( P fare ), for this kind of trip is worthwhile if you have the money for it.. but be relieved i used an award ticket....

Great pics! thanks for the report
Travelling is not all about the destination. its about how you get from point A to point B and everything in between.

1st class looks nice but i guess i don't really understand why anyone is willing to pay for that. it's so not worth it given the price.
