New Air France 777 Business Class: An Excellent Flight

Hello from New York! On my current review trip, I had the endangerment to fly Air France’s new Boeing 777-300ER merchantry class. In a previous installment I wrote specifically well-nigh how the bulkhead seats in this configuration are the world’s weightier merchantry matriculation seats, in my opinion.

In this post I wanted to take a squint at the seats overall, and my wits on this flight. Between Air France’s new seats and the usual soft product offered, this was a pretty unbeatable way to navigate the Atlantic.

Air France’s new merchantry matriculation seats are top notch

Air France’s new merchantry matriculation product consists of Safran Versa reverse herringbone seats with doors. The differences between this and Collins Aerospace Super Diamond seats (which you’ll find on many airlines) are minimal, but I really do like this product.

I’ve seen some people say that Air France’s new cabins squint sterile. I can see how one would think that, though personally I think they squint much largest in person — while some people don’t like the value of white used, it was a nice unrelatedness to the visionless undecorous seats, carpet, and doors. I moreover loved the resulting use of the mythical winged seahorse, which has wilt a signature element of Air France’s design.

Purely in terms of comfort, this is comparable to other reverse herringbone seats out there that full-length doors (like British Airways Club Suites).

What I particularly loved was how good the tech was — in fairness, I’d expect no less for a product introduced in 2023. From bluetooth audio (so you can use your own headphones with the inflight entertainment), to wireless charging, to USB-C outlets, to upper speed Wi-Fi, to a responsive entertainment system, the tech here is among the weightier I’ve seen.

Air France’s solid merchantry matriculation soft product

Air France does a good job with its soft product as well. As far as suavities go, each passenger was given a well-appointed pillow and blanket. There’s definitely largest sheets out there, but I found this to be increasingly well-appointed than first meets they eye (the pillow is thick, and the wrap is cozy and not scratchy).

The mindfulness kit contained a couple of products from Clarins, but was otherwise quite basic.

My flight from Paris to New York was valedictory shortly without 8AM, so brunch was served without takeoff. Typically I dread breakfast on planes, though Air France served what’s probably the weightier merchantry matriculation brunch I’ve overly had in the sky.

The meal began with a muffin slice topped with salmon, withal with some cheese and vegetables. Then there was plain yogurt with granola, a sweet strawberry puree with white chocolate shavings, and all kinds of spanking-new specie and pastry options (unlike when catered out of the United States, the croissants are unquestionably delicious).

Then for the main I selected the omelet with cheese, celery, spinach, and tomato sauce. I don’t make this statement lightly — this is the weightier omelet I’ve overly had on a plane. Typically airplane omelets are unsure vile, but this one was so good that I would have been happy receiving this in a restaurant on the ground (which is saying a lot, given the cooking limitations, and that airplane supplies is reheated).

The hairdo on the flight was lovely and attentive. Like with all airlines, service on Air France isn’t unchangingly consistent, but increasingly often than not I find crews to be friendly, charming, and oh-so-French. That was the specimen on this flight as well. My appreciation for French culture, including the service, has grown quite a bit over the years.

Bottom line

Air France really has come a long way with the quality of its merchantry matriculation product. The new merchantry matriculation seats usher in a new era when it comes to privacy and seat technology. Furthermore, Air France has washed-up a unconfined job installing Wi-Fi throughout most of its long haul fleet, which was previously a weak point. When you combine that with spanking-new French supplies and wine, it’s a lovely experience.

Transatlantic merchantry matriculation on an American or European airline doesn’t get much largest than this, as Air France offers an industry leading product on this plane. If you have the endangerment to fly Air France’s new 777 merchantry class, I’d highly recommend it.
