Air France Airbus A350 vs Boeing 787 Business Class: Which is Best?

It's a battle as old as time. AIrbus vs Boeing. But which has the best business class in Air France's fleet? I took a flight to Cairo to find out.

The gate access from the lounge is a game changer. Absolutely the right way to do it.

Air France's business class catering is severely underrated. I think it's some of the best in the sky.

Getting a peek of the vintage AirCal livery 737 was a 1980's treat .

As far as I'm concerned both business classes were great. The greatest perk had nothing to do with Air France, Boeing, or Airbus. Rather, the hotel assisting you in obtaining your visa and getting through immigration was invaluable. I can still remember years ago having to get a visa on arrival in Paraguay. It was not my idea of fun as it approached midnight.

I'm glad to see someone else excited about watching the sun never set on a North Atlantic flight. I saw this for myself the first time I flew to Europe in May 2010. We flew more northerly than normal due to the exploding volcano in Iceland.

Hi Noel, I think the socks are a nice touch. Considering airplanes are filthy, I always put on the socks in order to protect my own socks from contact with the floor. At the end of the flight I just put the socks in the trash! Thats it. I find it to be very helpful.

i've always thought those socks are for putting over your own socks so you can move about in the cabin without needing to put shoes or slippers on and don't have to worry about getting your socks dirty

Ok, boarding the plane from the lounge is amazing! I'm so damn jealous but also glad for the people who get to experience it.

Last time I was in O'Hare was in February, I left Dubai, temp was around 28c (82f), when I landed there was an ice storm, my connecting flight to Dallas was cancelled and the temp outside was -24c (-11f), probably the biggest temp difference I ever did.
And, being a Geordie, I don't posses a coat.

Whenever somebody says "This service is complimentary from me", that's usually followed by "but tips are appreciated" or you probably should give him a tip. That was great service from start to finish on this trip.

Working in aviation you'd think I'd get enough of planes but I'm absolutely hooked on your videos, great work, keep them coming ❤

That's what I love about Hong Kong airport... free water stations every 100 yards or so! 👌 Cheers for the excellent content Noel 🙂

I flew on a Qatar Airways 787-9, and it was equipped with cameras.

Air France has always been consistent with their service. They're sometimes really good and sometimes average, but they're rarely bad.

Hi Noel. Great video again as usual. Amenity kits started giving socks years ago. I got my first in 2015 from Virgin Atlantic and they were compression socks to try to avoid DVT. But these days airlines seem to have gone cheap with thin socks. Keep up the good works😊😊

Noel saying that the flight to Egypt will probably take 5-6 hours and it taking only under 4 hours really got me!😂

[woodiehudson]

So much fun watching your videos! I'm 6' 4 myself so I can appreciate when you talk about extra leg room, most planes aren't configured for tall people. So keep them coming and I'll keep watching and hitting that "like" button!!!😁👍👍👍

Merci pour la vidéo que j'attendais le plus! Continuez comme ça!

[Fatladtofitlad]

Love the A350. Took a return flight to Lima from Madrid on Iberia on one and loved the plane. So comfy and quiet. Another great video mate, keep em coming

[volvodadfast]

Nicely thought out video. I hope you do more of these.
Perhaps next time, you can also compare noise levels, cabin altitude and humidity.
BTW, the gain on the 2 pieces of music early in the video were a bit high.
Thanks again for the great video.

Noel: I really enjoy your travel videos. I have stayed at the Istanbul Yotel at the new airport as well. They have slatted windows overlooking the departure check-in. Great option, especially if you have too tight a connection to try to go into the city to spend the night. Thanks again .. cheers!
