Air France is a pretty good airline, about on par with Lufthansa I reckon, and since it's seldom mentioned on SQTalk, I thought I'd do a TR on AF here.
I had the pleasure recently to fly on AF in J SGN-CDG with a stop in BKK.
Check-in : was quite efficient and smooth, no queue at all at J counter.
Lounge : AF uses a generic lounge (Daisy Lounge IIRC) - it was quite spacious, and decent food and drinks (interesting looking noodles but I didn't try them).
Boarding : there was priority boarding, which was lightly enforced.
Seat :
My seat was 7H on the A340-300. The J arrangement is 2-2-2 which makes it quite spacious. (note that SIN-CDG is on a B777-300ER with 2-3-2 in J).
Row 7 is in its own separate mini-cabin just in front of the Y section. This may bring more noise from the Y cabin, but thankfully I didn't encounter that; but pax/crew traffic through here was quite, though it didn't bother me.
Legroom/space/storage was excellent in this row, and the window seat has FOUR windows for your exclusive use. The legroom is so good cos there is no seat/capsule in front of you, which restricts the foot space especially.
Overall, comparable to a bulkhead SQ SpaceBed in space and comfort.
IFE : mediocre, with only a small selection of AVOD programs. Screen resolution was average, size about 9".
Food :
SGN-BKK : decent pasta meal.
There was a one-hour plus stopover in BKK, strangely us transit pax weren't asker to get off and do the silly BKK transit, so we stayed on the aircraft and watched the change of crew, the cleaning etc.
BKK-CDG : flight departed about 11pm, but there was a full meal service :
Starter : nice jamon. The asparagus was delicious too.
Main course : Lamb - quite average. Loved the spinach though. Good selection of pastries too, and I think their croissants are great.
Good variety of desserts too.
To be continued........
