This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

As a french Guy and an air France enjoyer this warms my heart, french People usually talks trash about Air France (thats just the way we are lol) and I am very happy to see that you recognize Air France as a top tier airline !

[Johnny]

The best food I ever had on any airline was Air France, Affaires, back about 10 years ago. Only Emirates business is close to it in quality. But the A220, if every airline could dump commuter jets and replace them with A220s, my flying life would be so much better. Thanks for the review. I would not have picked AF to use as a connecting airline in Europe, but you have changed my mind.

[RobR]

Enjoyed the video very much, thank you!!

[GuillermoGomezGG]

Marvelous work Kevin!! Patiently waiting on your cruise report😜😜

[well-blazeredman]

Another one of those reviews that makes me feel I should fly Business in Europe far more often than I do. I would have been happy with this - and in awe of seeing an FA risk life and limb to stow a bag in the overhead.
Looking forward to that 'flight from Hell'.
P.S. You win a prize for being the first reviewer ever to mention

The line about unsponsored, unbiased reviews is clearly a dig at someone, but I'm not sure who.

[DavidColmans]

Here is your 'UN-sponsored' review - bahahahaha. 2 thumbs up! The A220 fits a slot that has a decent cost to seat ratio - and from my POV the 2 - 3 seat arrangement is a good add back to SINGLE AISLE inventory. The MD 88/90 had that market and Embraer could just not get it to work for small frames. Nice to see multi plate meal service and attention to detail that is SORELY missed with the big 3 carriers in the US - we seem to use the CATTLE CARRIER method here. Keep the interesting and honest review coming!

[TheVaughan]

My business class flight from LHR to CDG was good but nothing special but of course it’s a very short distance. However the long haul CDG to GUR is 11 hours and it was overall the best business class experience I’ve yet encountered. On the back of that I’ll be using them again on my next long haul.

[KAMU]

I am stunned with the meal! Wow, that looks much better than the business class meal I had from EWR to CDG by United.

[aefepiense]

Très bien Air France! I like the lounge and the flight it’s superb when you have attentive and friendly crew!
Thanks for the video!

[denisesommer-roque]

Oh la la, what a positive and upbeat video! Very nice review thank you, but you already have me on tenterhooks for your next video…as you lovingly call it “your flight from hell….!” 🙈🤣

[undisgraziato]

My wife doesn’t allow me to lick the plate in public 😂. I do at home with my sauce!

[xkr]

As a Canadian, I am so very proud of what this aircraft represents and people recognize it came out of this country. I have to admit I was a bit of an av geek (for Boeing) but this aircraft is fantastic. Funnily enough my first flight was from Sarajevo to Zurich on Swiss. This was followed by an Ethiopian A350. It was no comparison. I now choose airlines carefully, but cramped Boeings are not fun. if I can take an Airbus jet - particularly the A220, I will.

[beach]

Hi,
I was wondering if the overhead bin above 2A (bulkhead) is big enough to store a standard carry-on suitcase and a backpack…?

[freddiesflightreviews]

Love the A220 and rapidly starting to think Air France may be the best European airline. Maybe second to Virgin Atlantic 🤔

[zakelwe]

I really enjoy healthy tasty cold food on hot summers day, they looked fantastic. Presumably hot beef bourg in winter etc. BA flight crew take note also.

I am still working backwards through your videos, not sure if you have done it but the La Premiere 777 from Paris to SIngapore looks fantastic. With the lights and curtains and the food it is like being on a flying Orient Express.

In regards to the Airbus A220, it seems that Airbus was more far sighted than Boeing buying it. Boeing went from legal action over that to trying to buy Embraer and then ran away from that deal so screwing them. The Boeing management were too focused on paying money to shareholders ( which they aklso owned ) and their own high salaries whilst making bad strategy decisions and paying lipservice to quality control in the production environment just trying to get planes out the door ASAP.

Ironically Airbus share price has done a lot better for the shareholders. Their one mistake might not be re-engining ( is that a word ? ) the A380 and still selling them. That would have put more pressure on 777-x. I know twin jets are the rage, but passenger numbers are now climbing again.

We will never know.

All the best. Off to lick my plate now also, as nobody is looking, not even the

[abctouali]

Ok, I NEED to know how to manage to get this flight from Ibiza, all the way to Finland, for that amount ! It is a superb service for that price.

[point]

Is it better to sit in the bulkhead or is it better to sit further behind so it's possible to put away the armrest?

[lammie]

I don’t think youve done KLM yet have you? Perhaps the Embraer E2-195 and then the 787? Would love to see that happening

[jalexa]

Hi what is a guarantee seat pair mean?
