Welcome to iTripReport's flight reviews, which I focus on reviewing both the soft product and hard product of airlines around the globe. I strive to give you guys a first person perspective of different aspects of the flight. Including the ground service, onboard service, and those views that come with the flight. As you can see, I record quite a lot of the experience to make sure I record what you want to watch. As always, thank you so much for watching.

Air France's extremely satisfying boarding music:

I love Air France and flew this A350 last summer. It was fantastic. Air France's business class catering is truly amazing.

The newest 787s have upgraded dimmable windows, and they're also darker and much more improved than the original ones. I experienced this a few months ago on a new Qatar Airways 787-9.

For anyone that wants to know which of Air France’s a350s have this cabin, they are the ones who’s registration starts with F-HUV

About to book AF from ORD to CDG in November. Business going and Prem Econ return. Looking forward to my bucket list adventure incl Eurostar to London. Thanks for the great video.

Seats look great. I need to fly it to Paris one day :)

That boarding music brings me right back to when I was traveling to Paris. Good times!

Love your vids! This is definitely one of the best airline review channel out there!

Well, done Air France. I have flow Air France several times and was not impressed however after seeing this video I might just give them another try. Love the "suites" and the mood lighting is wonderful and the meal looked very good.

The only opportunity I have had to fly AF is back in their early days of flying the Polar Route between Paris and Tokyo via Anchorage. I lived next door to their flight operations manager in ANC so I got to know he and his wife quite well. The one time I flew was on their 747 FC out of ANC but had to fly economy from Paris back to ANC and though I was impressed with their service then, it wasn't all that fancy. Thanks for the memories!!!!

Love this, I am so excited for my flight, great tips!

Generally the meals will always take around 2 hours depending on the load. The drinks service after take off can take 30/45minutes on a good day and whilst the crew are doing that, the galley crew are cooking and plating up the meals. Before they can come out with the food, they need to resecure the drinks trolleys and then load up with the meals. Then another drinks service during the starters which means loading up that trolley again. Then to put it away whilst they run main meals. Then get it out again and set up for desert and tea/coffee. As crew I think the quickest we ever managed to do it was an hour and a half and that’s because it was a night flight and most passengers wanted the express service to maximise sleep. Nice review buddy.

The other routes where you can find this newer A359 are AF62/63 CDG-EWR or AF209/208 MNL-CDG when needed. 7:32 same as its competition B787

Great review and coverage of the seat map. Merci!

[OVTraveller]

Thanks, Emil. I really noticed how quiet the A 350 is compared with the B 777. Nice decor, not worried about the window location unless an international daytime flight. Qatar's A 350 s have a reverse haring bone lay out, and so are more watcher friendly. Cheers from Australia.

Great Video! Do you know which routes Air France is using these Updated A350s?

[stephaniethal]

I will be flying with my husband. Do the middle seats have the same space, privacy, large screen, storage, etc. I know you said we could opt to fly one in front of each other on the window. Which do you think is better for a couple? The window or the middle seats. Thank you.

[davidhamilton]

Great trip report, thanks for uploading. That meal looked a little bit better than the meal I had in UA Polaris :)

[mikiewifnoe]

Very well presented video. I am happy to see you enjoyed your flight and the new product.

[fritskleinenhammans]

Thanks for this very informative trip report! I do like the AF business class product a lot as well. I had the chance to compare the new 777 seat with the A350 seats (both row one) and agree with you, that the A350 seat is even better. I had exactly the same experience with extremely slow service; two hours after take off dinner was served, and for a difference they started in the back of the cabin. I wonder what makes service (this was MEX-CDG) on this particular aircraft so slow.
