16:37 I LOVE that it's not leather. Leather may look luxurious but it's so uncomfortable to sit on for an extended period of this. I'll choose a high quality fabric seat over leather any time.
I have taken AF84 to SFO many times and the service is exceptional, the personal escort to and from plane to lounge is amazing. I can't wait to go again!
One of the best vids of La Premier. Good to know what I am missing from my Premium Economy seat. I flew reverse route past November, AF 83, and it was a wonderful flight.
fork & knife the other way around. Now the French touch. Quiet - discreet - tout en finesse. Le LUXE how it should be. I work for the airline industry in the UAE and Damn everything is too much extravagant - show off- Bad taste. when you have money you do not want to show it but experienced. Did you see the water proposal at the lounge - Fantastic - And the crew genuine skilled. Yep la France and Air France does the job.
Ohhh... Ben ça c'est un compliment dis-moi... Merci ! Merci c'est très gentil. J'espère que tu as été très bien accueilli pendant ton séjour en France. Surtout ne reste pas à Paris. Visite le reste du pays qui est vraiment magnifique.Salutations de la Côte d'Azur....
At that level of confort and attention you can consider the business seats as economy ones , all proportion kept it is the same because you are REALLY on a special treat .
thank you so much all in all that is pristine, impeccable meal inflight Service. you could feel like you are distinguished guest. Stunning. No other U.S. carrier offers quite something like this. Oh la, la the caviar and your glass of water...
Hi Raymond Your video on the promotion of Air France is very cure. I am a French former military that I did eleven years ago on the French Navy. I visited about fourty country across the world. You represent by the intermediary of your video the French knownlodge. Vive la France Vive la République
A very interesting trip review, thank you. However nice the food looked, it would be welcoming to have some titles of the dishes you ate. Lucky you for flying first class on AF.
La Première on Air France is one of the best First Class products in the world...Thaï is great as well...I still have to try Etihad I am very curious about !
Glad to see that Air France used a French car, a DS 7 to be exact, to drive you to the airport. That adds to the French touch and experience. When you were served your meal, I was surprised that the fork was placed on the right side of the plate and the knife on the right, with the teeth facing away... mmmm, this is not typical. Did the flight attendant do it intentionally for you?
Good for you Rob, I've had the privilege of flying first class on Emirates A380 and I loved every minute of it. All the best for your first FC flight ✌🏽
Great video! I was always dreaming of flying with Air France. French people are hospitable, at least on what I read! I was also watching a travel vlog with Air France from a vlogger named James Asquith.
Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing this experience. I just flew home from LHR-SFO on British Airways coach. Obviously not as chic and cool as your flight.
When I see such an elegant lounge, I wonder how many days in advance I could arrive there. I would have liked to see the menus for dinner and breakfast. Considering how much a first class ticket costs, it's a shame to sleep through most of the experience.
It would be helpful if you described the food presented. I was guessing what was ordered. Sound quality poor when reviewing the amenity kit. Nice video overall.
Air France has an amazing product - at every level. I've never flown economy internationally with them, although their intereuropean service really is very good. Their Premium Economy product is excellent, Business class is superb, and having flown La Premier, it is, well, La Premier. Beyond superb. Raymond did a great job showing off the product. Some pix of the menu would have been appreciated. And Raymond, Caviar and Vodka. You sip the ice cold vodka between nibbles of the oily fish eggs, cleanse your palate, and go back for more. It is a very easy lesson to learn. There are a few airlines out there that are worth seeking out. Air France is my love for Europe, although Virgin Atlantic, premium economy and business classes come very close. I've just discovered Qatar business, which is even better than AF first, if you can believe it. Singapore is in there somewhere. Now my big hope is one day being able to fly again with any of these products. Thanks for your video.
David H thanks for your feedback. I had plannend Singapore Airlines in first, but they had to cancel because of covid. Qatar business is the new standard in business class I hope 🤗
The video is nicely edited. I like that you keep it moving along. However, I do wish you would have shown the food and beverage menu (assuming AF distributes one in 1st)
Nice review :-) By the way, when you say "chice"(12:08), didn't you rather mean "chic" ? You can either say "c'est chic" which means: "it's very elegant", or "C'est chiche" which means :"it looks cheap" in french ^^
Great video. At 5.08 you say only elite members can book a first class ticket. Anyone can book a ticket. Only first class passengers and top tier Air France / Skyteam members can access the lounge if not flying first. The 777 first is superior to the A380 first so always choose a 777 flight. Thanks for the review.
My father working in overseas for more than 20 years, during the 50s, 60s, and 70s, we used to fly AF when going back home to Paris for vacation; a long haul flight first with DC3 and Super Constellation that took 2 days until to the end of the 50s, later near 12 hours with jets. The food was not only excellent but served in Limoges porcelain with silverware, drinks in crystal glasses. Something we never had on other airliners. My worst experience was Swiss Airlines in business class, Zurich-NY City, the food was atrocious and the flight attendants so so la la....
@@raymondfranklin7860 The definition of quality varies from one person to another. I have flown regularly with SwissAir (which became later Swiss Airlines) and the service on board wasn't what you would call friendly. It's okay for short flights...
Once, when we traveled by Air France, from Paris to St. Petersburg in economy class, our stewards gave to us a lot of wine. We said, we don't want to drink it a lot. But stewards were inexorable, and told, if you don't want to drink, just keep bottles with you🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️
@@mohammedalnaseri4346 I am in love with Emirates flight company and can't judge without bias. The Emirates is 10 out of 10. Air France is 10 out of 10 either, I could tell another funny story with my flight by Air France and why I think that they are cool, but it is too long and you ask only to rate.
You need a dedicated microphone and a stabilizer for your video. Upgrade your equipment and subscribers will increase, as you have good content. It just needs a bit more polish. Thank you.
I like you because you show us the food that is being served and that's what we like.
Nice people, the French. The service was as good as you'll find on a premium private jet experience. This flight was great value.
We are not very nice sometimes...
@@You8f4real Sometimes you are not , next time be nice and allow Croatia to win the world cup :)

We can sometimes insulte you in French and you wouldn’t know HAHA!
16:37 I LOVE that it's not leather. Leather may look luxurious but it's so uncomfortable to sit on for an extended period of this. I'll choose a high quality fabric seat over leather any time.
Particularly in the summer!
JESUS !!! THIS TRAY OF CHEESES !!!! OH MY GOODNESS !!! I COULD DIE FOR IT !!!!
I PROUD TO BE FRENCH !!
Oui, bien dit ! Il y avait un Saint-Maure de Touraine au milieu du plateau, un pure délice ce fromage de chèvre.
On se calme l'aïoli là !
I really really enjoy french cheeses but i could die for a Minas cheese in Brazil.
I have taken AF84 to SFO many times and the service is exceptional, the personal escort to and from plane to lounge is amazing. I can't wait to go again!
Cool! Say hi if you see mee😎
Wow thanks for sharing that amazing experience! AF has to have one the best first class experiences out there!!!
I did SFO to CDG on AF a few years ago in Business Class and it was exceptional. This is way beyond that....whoa.
Subscribed. Keep up the good work 👍🏻 👏
The seat is so luxurious, the color of the leather makes it so classy!
Love that particular Air France safety video, which can be found on TH-cam.
The sky is beautiful above the clouds.
You french know how to do first class!
Yeah we know
Now that's First Class!
Two glasses of champagna before, a decanter of vodka; two classes of wine with dinner--I would be STONED blotto by the time I got to San Francisco
You should get a proper training .

Your first class was special . Everybody first class won't be like that
You did a great job showing off the amazing first class cabin. Great work my friend.
The French really know what they're doing...had you flown an American airline it certainly wouldnt have been anything to compare

Your video should really have more views. It is my favorite of all the review videos. It inspired me to fly La Premiere.

I would’ve eaten every single thing in that lounge. Yum!
Yes but don’t spoil your appetite for the food on the plane.
absolutely fantastic! my first time viewing one of your videos. well done

Traveled from CDG to IAD in July-First Class with AF. It was over the top.
Me too but i was in economy unfortunately.
Loved the video!
thank you for showing us. I did not even know the extend of this service. Waou. And it is nice. Elegant, but they keep it "healthy".

You're right. That's no shot, that's a vodka big gulp!
Gosh I miss flying! Can’t wait for all this COVID-19 stuff to simmer down so I can start traveling again.
Bryan Watkins yes, we all miss it 🙂
Great video and lovely service. Thanks for the video

MR. SALVATORE J PLUCHINO Upgraded? No I just booked a firsr class ticket
Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing this experience. I just flew home from LHR-SFO on British Airways coach. Obviously not as chic and cool as your flight.

Bob Rogers I would fast for 1 week, and eat everything! lol
Did they provide priority through the Custom/ESTA lines as well? If so, that can be a 2 hour time saver, lol.
mr V yes! I was very happy with that. I was the first one. My fellow first class passanger had global entry status. You might wanne check that out.
It would be helpful if you described the food presented. I was guessing what was ordered. Sound quality poor when reviewing the amenity kit. Nice video overall.

I'm left handed, grew up in the UK, and the knife and fork doesn't change because you are left handed. 😉

Awesome video! The lounge looks great! Awesome flight! Hope we have a chance to travel with Air France in the future.
did they pick you up from your hotel/apartment and take you the airport? is that included in the price?
NYTry yes it was included. Make sure you call a few days in advantage. 🙂
Yes, most airlines for first class has that ground service included with no additional fee. Except for shitty Korean airlines :D
Diana Lee correct. But I have feeling they are changing it, when you fly Emirates from Amsterdam there is no pickup anymore.
