I flew on Air France’s new business class product on the Boeing 777 from Paris to New York, one of the more exciting product launches in the aviation world as of late.
This flight features some of the largest business class seats you’ll find anywhere in the sky at the bulkhead in Rows 1 or 9!
Find out what my experience was like onboard this luxurious transatlantic crossing.
Booked with: 55,000 Flying Blue miles + $300

Your "sweet bread" is called a "brioche" mon cher, and more specifically, it is a "brioche parisienne" (Parisian brioche), easily recognizable because it has a little ball on top, a "hat" (un chapeau). Voilà, you know everything about it now :) Bon appétit !
Ah merci :)
@@_Ricky Avec plaisir :) I love your reviews!
It is also typical in Sicily, where we eat with "granita". Reminds me so much of home

Hi Ricky - what a masterpiece! As a fellow aspiring Aviation TH-camr, I know how much work goes into a video like that. Hope you're going to keep up with the great work. I definitively want to see more! :)
Thank you thank you!
Point of the little trackpad : use the screen with your seat fully leaned back (your hand should't be able to touch the screen in this position), and secondly use the screen without leaving fingerprints on it (cleaner display for the flight)
Enjoy your video’s combination of sleek yet whimsical. Thank you.
Really nice video! Thanks! And the new AF Business Class looks beautiful!
I'm traveling to Europe in August. Originally we were in the A-350 coming home, but it looks like that was changed to the updated 777 (based on seating charts). I'm very excited to try this new product
Hi Ricky - thanks for the video. I just booked business class on Air France and made sure to reserve a seat in row 1. Looking forward to my flight to Paris.
Thanks for the review, After watching this video, I took your advice went straight to my booking online for my upcoming Business class flight CDGBKK I managed to snag one of those spacious 1st row seats
Looks like a great experience. Nice one.
I Havent Experience Air France New Business Class Seats Yet.I Love The Food Aboard Air France.Great Trip Report
I enjoy Ricky's reviews particularly because of his emphasis on the food and drink service .
hi
Thanks a brilliant Video. Well done!!!
Great vid Ricky 👍. Booked on an AF B777 from Rio in a few months, so was nice to see what to expect in business, thanks.
I like the details like the carpet they used in their new BC. Thanks for the video 👍
Makes it feel like a plush Parisian residence!
Hello Ricky
again great video.
last time we flew Air France was way back in 2002.
my wife also watched your video today.
her comment, you spoke perfect French.
great steal for 55,000 miles. I got YYZ to ATH for 60,000 miles + $400CAD. Got downgraded from 78X to 772. Considering you got the newest J product, wow! Bravo.
Love the attention to the details on the new business class seats. Great job!
Terrific video, and nice timing. Glad to see the new business class and compare it to SANSpotter's video yesterday showing the old business product from CDG to SFO. How much extra cost are the extra space seats? Probably be my preference as I am tall with large feet. Regarding the meals, odd that both had the strawberries with white chocolate.
Row 1 and 9 looks bomb. But even the other ones are v good
Ricky is so cute!! Great video!!❤❤❤
AIR FRANCE est une compagnie MAGNIFIQUE !!!
You lucky guy :) i dream to have a flight once in life to BC..
Ça a l’air très sympa cette classe !👍
What a beautiful cabin! Funny I just grabbed seat 11A.
umm.. the sauce that the parsley omelette comes with is supposed to be had with the it, it is absolutely amazing!
Great review!
I would imagine the trackpad would come in handy when the seat is in the reclined/bed mode as the screen would no longer be in arm's reach.
Nice product....good info Ricky
Cheers!
Air France excellent!
Were you on the morning flight on May 1st? I was in La Premiere 1A. Was wishing the flight was longer!
Very nice and short report but Ricky the AF embleme is a seahorse instead a windhorse .
Checking the one I’m flying in Sept from Yul to Cdg in b777-300, the seat map looks confusing, it’s 2-2-2 config, with no middle seats in the last row (4th).. but it also doesn’t look like 2-3-2 config I found from seatguru.. 🤔any idea?
Is the screen on the business class 120Hz or higher? it feels like a 60Hz. It'd be better if it was higher for more smoother feel.
Thank you Ricky Zhang for settling the dispute between the Uber mafia and Paris taxi drivers. Timmy Chan sends his regards.
Flying to Rome in A330-200 how was the plane for turbulence did you feel it a lot? I'm a little nervous haha
Thanks for sharing this experience with us Ricky! Do you know where we can find more info on the routes this product is offered on?
Air France’s objective is to have all of their business class in their Boeing 777-300 with this new business class by the end of the year. For now it’s operating on JFK, GIG (Rio de Janeiro), PVG (Beijing), Tokyo (both NRT and HND) and DSS (Dakar) from CDG airport
For my trip to Japan, a month ago, I booked on the Air France website in my personal space, 3 round-trip tickets 5 months before.
Wanting to offer better seats to my family, I go on my reservation a few minutes after purchase and decide to buy seat options with more room for the round trip for more than 350 euros.
On the morning of check-in, I discovered that the 3 seats I had reserved for the one-way trip were not available (ditto for the return trip). I call customer service and I am told that my seat reservation, paid 5 months ago,
is not associated with my tickets, and that I paid for seats on a reservation without tickets. I only had one file on my account.
So I found myself unable to fly comfortably and make my family happy. I had to wait 37 days to get my money back, and I have no compensation, no alternative, no excuse.
Of course, there was no specific place available anymore and I was almost told that it was my fault not to have noticed that the file references are not the same.
How can I know by going back to my customer area and going on my reservation and paying that the seats are not linked.
In addition, the customer service tells me that my seat reservation is no longer valid, but they did charge me for non-existent seats.
For AirFrance the customer is indeed the king... but the king of idiots....
hi
USED TO RUN THE BUS NOW IM TAKIN FLIGHTS
Gerne möchte ich mitfahren
Nach Paris
Natürlich im Business class 😊
This is how I feel when I book extra legroom on Ryanair 😂
Better than Air Canada's Business Class where they don't have a divider, the tray is above the legs so you can't lie on your side when lying down and looks like better food.
Fanny because there is so many business classes but old ones for Africa !
Is that larger Row 1 seat only on the 777? I think I am on the Airbus to Paris next month.
❤nice
Hello what is the pink drink at the end?
Did Air France ever post which routes have the new product? Flying from CDG to IAD this summer but can't tell if it is in the new cabin
Check the seat map - you want the one with a main cabin and a mini-cabin starting with Row 1 and 9 respectively
Hi - Great review but how do I distinguish which planes have the new business class ? I'm planning on flying from JFK to Paris in August, 2023. Thanks
Hi! With the aircraft model. I know that the A350 and the B777 have the new business class
What was the Red stuff? A cold soup? You seem scared of the red thing?
I read that Air France business class DO NOT have individual air conditioning ducts and the business cabins are "warm." Warm...is not a word I want to hear in regards to flying, especially six to eight hours worth. Your opinion?
Also, when you decide to go from seated to lie-flat, I assume the process can be stopped at, say, 30 or 45 degree angle, if flat not to your liking?
How come you didn’t select row 9? Was it free 72 hours prior to take off? Or do you have to pay a fee once it’s 72 hours or less?
I actually didn't realize there was a big seat in Row 9 until I boarded 🤣
Hi! What flight number were you on? Flying to Paris later this month and am hoping that I’m on a flight that has been updated! 🤞🤞
AF22 🙂
Can i ask when your departure time was? We have a 10:30 a.m. out of CDG to US and worried we're going to be on a brunch flight. :-(
This was an 8am departure, you should hopefully be ok!
Very nice review. Hopefully I will be able to fly with them soon. Every time in the past when I booked with them, the route was switched through their codeshare partner, KLM which is also not bad…
good morning
what flight number is this?
Nice job on blurring out people in business class. I see some youtubers who don't do that. As someone who always flies business or first for comfort and privacy I really appreciate that.
Great job on the video!
The main subject here is the reviewer. Wish that time would go to the actual flight element but to each his own. Aspiring Spielbergs.
Winged horse = Pegasus ;)
Ok but that's a low-cost carrier from Turkey
@@_Ricky I did not know that. You learn something everyday.
❤
Thanks, how much did you pay!??
I wonder what my chances are when I take this flight from JFK to Paris and back in September. Only 12 planes are being renovated by the end of 2023, and they have just over 40 of them. It seems the odds are against me getting this and I will get the old business class instead. Oh well.
Was this 777-200 or 777-300?
Don’t know how the light color seats will hold up over time.
if that was served in Biz class... I feel sorry for the peasants (inc me) in Economy class 😂

Great review but I think the seat offering looks quite stark and bland - compared to other competition. It lacks a ‘warm’ feeling you normally expect. For now I will stick to Emirates’ latest offering.
Wow I'm first

An honest question...why do people call a airplane PRODUCT?
Because it's a product
The meals provided are very disappointing to me, it's so cheap of them not to serve a decent lunch on an 8-hour, daytime, business class meal. And no crepe anymore? That's crap!
Right just serve a proper lunch. I’ve never seen an airline international business class daytime flight serve ‘brunch’ because it’s 10 or 11 am. By the time the plane takeoff and meals are being served it’s close to afternoon or exactly noon. But the French will be French.
Very very stingy to not provide at least a French version of a Full English breakfast. For a business class, there was no meat choice serve other than the salmon. Very disappointingly sad.
frankly - nothing new & one more video from thousands but you've tried to do it well & to compare with others & it's kind of better.
Meal presentation is a bit disappointing
I never understood the thrill of traveling in business class. The whole point of traveling is to have the experience of travelling with other passengers, and you can see and hear other human beings. This feels like being in a box, totally isolated. Might as well stay in your room. I can understand this as a preference for "business" travellers though, since they travel all the time. Otherwise a waste of points.
The point of traveling is to visit other cities/countries not to experience passengers 🤣
For me, it's simple. Business class is more comfortable for long haul flights. I like a lie flat seat and space to stretch out.
Absolutely ridiculous food service on a transatlantic morning flight...even more ridiculous as most C passengers would have had beakfast in the lounge..pure cost saving! Despite the beautiful cabin: i wouldnt book an airline with such a poor service
The plane looks nice, but would expect better food from Air France. Very poor. Many thanks.
ok man I love you so much but I can't tell since I'm not on the plane I love your vibes but is you're voice as loud in the in person on the plane because if I paid a lot of money in business I wouldn't want someone infant ion me talking like that also just an opinion so I understand the other argument lol again love you just curious
I try to speak very close to the microphone so that the audio is clear. Usually passengers sitting in other seats might hear a little bit of what's going on, but there's also lots of airplane noise that blocks it out. Plus, I try to only say a few words here and there for the videos so that I bother other passengers as little as possible :)
@@_Ricky oh ok thank you for explaining love ur vids keep it up
Bookable with Delta Skymiles? Hmm...325,000 Skymiles plus beaucoup $$$. F..k Delta and my worthless 300,000 Skymiles.
Booked this one with 55,000 Flying Blue miles!
@@_Ricky But NOT with Skymiles!
@@coolbreeze253 they are called "Skypesos" for a reason
The food is absolutely horrible- no clue why you praised it so highly!? It’s just pastry after pastry- no other food??? I would vomit just looking at that cold snack - come on Air France - you represent France n people like me have high expectations- you should learn from Singapore Airlines. Overall I give it 50 out of 100.
Somewhat garbage wine selection
AF has gone to shit..I switched to United Polaris for my yearly trip to France...and it's way cheaper also..
