With borders slowly opening up to international travelers, more and more people find themselves booking flights abroad. Perhaps you’re one of them? Watch this video to decide whether you’d like to fly with Air France.
Tonight’s flight across the Atlantic Ocean will clock in at a more typical seven hours and we’ll reach an altitude of 38,000 feet over the nearly 4,000 mile journey.

“Pack some patience” is great advice & I wish more people would do just that! Fortunately I didn’t run into any outbursts on flights to & from Iceland (on Delta) a couple of months ago. We were in Main Cabin for that trip but looking forward to AF Business in June-even more so after this video. Thanks for taking us on the ride!
P I
Adore “pack some patience”. I travelled yesterday from Seattle to Doha in QSuite on the way to Athens and checking in 3 hours before takeoff was a great idea. We all need to realize that the privilege of international travel requires staying calm and carrying on.
For me, nothing beats AF LA Première to Paris from the USA, and return. Can't wait for your review.
In the past 6 months, I've traveled from Israel to the US, Netherlands, Finland, Italy, Germany, Mexico, Guatemala, Iceland, France, Greece, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, Brazil and Panama. My best advice for dealing with travel restrictions is making sure to get to the airport EARLY, the stress goes up quickly as countries add different entrance and exit forms. Check online but be prepared to fill out more as you get to the check in. Enjoy your flights.
Jeb thanks for this. You met my wife working at the AF lounge at IAD, and we both strongly concur with your comment about patient. Remember, folks, things change so quickly that often the gate agents are pivoting. Please be kind in the air.
Beautiful Aqua Terra world time!! This was a great trip report, Jeb. Thank you:)
Don’t be “that unruly passenger”, be more like Jeb!
Its so good that the USA is opening again for europaen travelers in November. I travelled to Greece in September this year and it was my first trip for vacation since 18 months. It has changed a lot. There‘s a lot of paperwork to do before you can enter the Country. It could be done online. Infact I prepared a checklist with things to do before I could go. Just make always sure that you‘re up to date with the current country regulations.
The USA is only open to some people in November.
That man playing the piano needs a youtube channel lol! For what little clip you had, he was great! Love your videos Jeb! Thanks for continuing to perk my interest in traveling abroad!
The same dreamliner I flew in from Paris to Detroit a couple years ago. Beautiful plane I have videos of it when landing in Detroit
The pianist at 1:14 was there when I had a connection in Detroit on my way to Oshkosh in July. I made sure to give him a big tip!
I was drooling over an AF 787 in Boston recently. Thanks for helping scratch that itch. Can't wait to see the rest of this series Jeb, great start!
You should try Contour Airlines to or from KIND! Small regional carrier with E135s, and all seats are 36" of pitch! I am not lying either about the pitch. The service to KBNA, KPIT, and KMKE starts October 12, 2021.
Have travelled several times to Europe in the past few months - haven't had any issues. Seems like Delta/AF needs to figure out a more streamlined document check process.
Agree. Traveled to Qatar and Maldives a few weeks ago via Qatar Airways, no issues whatsoever. Seems to be airline specific
I traveled to France in July, I don't remember anything too bad. They checked my vaccine card and passport and that's it. Not sure why his experience was different?
Same. I flew United twice to EU. The documents were checked outside of security at check-in counter -- not at the gate. This reduces the gate congestion as everyone arrives to the airport counter in waves, not all at once. Even if you are carry-on-only docs should be checked at the bag drop counter. Much more efficient. On the European side this was also the process. No issues.
On trip #2!! United does a great job of getting everyone ready to board and let’s be honest we all are just happy to be back!
I just came back from Paris via Air France (premium economy) and it was a great flight. We did have to watch a couple of VERY poorly-behaved Americans at CDG which was awful. I agree with you - patience is key!! And just plan to get to the airport a little earlier than you would usually arrive. Thanks for the video!
Americans are usually embarrassing abroad, especially in Europe. I try to deflect!
Flew from Frankfurt to Nairobi in June on Lufthansa. Inbound flight was easy and entry to Kenya too. But getting back home was a mess.
Local staff at Nairobi checked my documents 5 times before even boarding. They had 3 security checkpoints which took ages.
I despise the Nairobi airport, and pretty much everything Nairobi. It's too bad.
When you mentioned "La Premiere" I literally said O.M.G. and I cannot wait for it! Safe travels!
YES! Finally ever since the livestream I’ve been waiting for the AF Business class review on the 787 Dreamliner from Detroit to Paris DTW-CDG 🇫🇷
Can’t wait to travel internationally again soon and to try the AF Dreamliner…
Uh…ok
@@Nolagames__ Droll.
I’ll be heading on an international trip *FINALLY* this winter ❄️ with Lufthansa on their ICONIC 747 to Frankfurt!! 🎉🎉
I’ve travelled quite a (business & economy) bit and never had anything but great service. I honestly think you have to understand everyone is doing their best at their job even when they can’t control the outside factors that are affecting the clients. If your considerate and respectful they’ll remember that.
Went to Guatemala back in April on a Delta 757 and went to Greece in August on an Emirates 777! Jeb, thank you for the positivity and awesome videos! I'm definitely looking forward to some more flight reviews!
Can't beat anything Emirates, can you, Aidan?
Did you fly Newark-Athens? EK210?
It is so nice to see you flying international again!!!!
I flew the AF 787 from CDG to ABJ in late 2018 in premium econ. Beautiful aircraft. DTW the best North American international airport. The red terminal trams a legacy of when Northwest Orient was the tenant.
Being a DTW native I love those old trams!!
Great vlog as always! No comment on your Boze headset? Lol! Do the FAs love their jobs or their Jebs…. I rest my case! Looking forward to the next one! I have not been at DTW in 25 yrs… Today sept. 25th at 1600h all was back to normal in Norway! (March 12th-2020) 561 days of covid restrictions is over! Lets party! Is the creative dir up for doing her own travel videos and sharing them with your TH-cam? I am all for that!
It has been 13 years (sheesh!) since I was last at Detroit Metro. How it has changed!!! Just beautiful. Congratulations, Michigan!
I took a trip to Qatar last week, my first international travel since January 2020! YVR-YUL-DOH. I did allot of research as to the entry requirements, but once all that was in order, it was easy and I'm so thankful and blessed to have been able to travel internationally again. Looking forward to more travels soon!
My two favourite First Class services are … Lufthansa’s Senator First Class and Air France La Premiere. Each has their own uniqueness. You can’t go wrong with either one. 👍🏻
The Senator Lounge, is a tier level, the HON/First Lounge is what you mean?
@@bodyloverz30 … I was speaking of inflight services not lounges
@@robyoungquist5803 The best service, would be La Premiere HON.
I’m going to South Africa with Lufthansa this winter (summer there) and I am so excited! It’ll be my first trip on a 747
I recently flew with Air France from SFO - CDG, and the boarding process was similar. They had several people at the gate checking everyone's paperwork, and we were only delayed a couple minutes. We also had to fill out the contact sheet for a possible COVID case. I think these precautions are most necessary, and there's no doubt international travel has changed. I don't see it returning to normal anytime soon.
I traveled to Singapore, UAE, China, US and Netherworlds this summer, so glad to be able resume exploring
I am an Legacy Airport Agent and I want to say Thank You, Thank you and Thank you for recommending passengers to have patience with entry policies, which are driven by Govt agency.
Thank you
I am ready to travel internationally especially when I get all the notices about the really inexpensive flights but at this point it will probably be the summer of 2023 before I get to fly internationally.
Why’s that pal
The 787 of any variant is just ultra luxury in business class. I love the dreamliner
Jeb is back international, and he did it in style! Fantastic video!😸
My return flight from Paris to Minneapolis was through the AF dream liner too in August 2021 business class. The wifi on that plane also didn't work. Otherwise everything else went smooth. Thank God for Global entry I was out quickly from passport control to catch my connection to Las Vegas.
Thanks for the review. I just booked this same flight in biz class for November. Can't wait to fly again!
My home base, enjoyed several flights on the Delta Flagship across the pond before the pandemic...looking forward to more! See you in the skies!
Very nice review. Wife and I (think we) are flying to Italy via AF in 2 weeks. Steerage class, it was a cheap flight, but still, Air France, A350, currently with only 51 passengers on board in economy. Surprisingly, Premium Econ is sold out, and Business is more than half full. I love the airline, service has always been great, food better than average, even out of the US, and I love the duty free area in Chas de Gaulle. Glad you had a great flight, I'm looking forward to ours.
I’m so excited to see this video!! My fiancé and I just booked a flight to Paris the other day for next year! Hopefully things aren’t as crazy to get over there.
Hi Jeb, as per usual and naturally highly subjective: 10/10 for reminding me what international flights are like. In the midst of the Sixth, yes SIXTH lockdown in Victoria ( Australia) Your videos are an antidote to Covid fatigue. We all are looking for that little brown sticker on our passports !
I really love your narration style. Always calm and objective. Even when things don’t go according to plan. I really enjoy your channel!
Thank you so much!
just returned last week from a trip to Greece on American's flagship business class flying out of LAX...was a wonderful experience. I sure needed all my patience and good thing I had a three hour layover in JFK before heading to Athens....I needed every minute of it...arrived at my departure gate as we were boarding! thanks for a great video!
so american isn’t really that bad as i thought
@@diehardavgeekfreak6862 American was really good; the airports and customs was a pain...lol
International travel ?
LoL 😂
In Australia, we can't even travel to half of our only 6 states !
the 787 wings are a thing of beauty
Just got back 15 hours late from Barcelona. Got a free night in Atlanta. Let’s just say I’m glad I’m home now
Keep up the great work Jeb! I love and support your videos!
FINALLY!!! Since I'm technically not a true av geek, but just a luxury flight geek, I have to say that I'm glad you're back. I loved your train videos, but this gets a thumbs up and comment before I even watch it. Welcome back and get your Aussie buddies off their butts too.
We went to Paris in July via Porto and it felt amazing to be back. Just make sure you have all that you need and it is just fine.
I took Delta's ATL-CDG earlier in the year, while I prefer the Delta A350 suites because of the straight config and door, that AF 787 looks comfy. Packing patience is great advice for the less experienced. It's a different world currently, but at-least it's opening up a bit.
Like you, had last week Friday my first flight after 18 months. FRA-DOH-HKT in Bizz and Qatar, is a fantastique airline. Great to be back in the air. Great vid
Jeb absolutely cannot wait for my business class flight to Japan in December getting that much closer to international travel
I will never go overseas again. Too many lines, although I will say Detroit was surprisingly quick for returning from France. Last time it was Atlanta and a 3 hour wait to get to the screening area then another hour to get through the 2 security people. Most people missed their connecting flights but I would have had a 5 hour layover so I spent all my time in line! My favorite airline meal was on Air France in coach.
I recently went to France with Delta and the boarding process was not that difficult. Next year we will be flying AF Business class to Athens on an A350. I am super excited!
I wish his videos was longer .. I watch these at night I plugged my phone up an lay back an its over lol... I don't even fly but jebb makes me not scared to
Love your videos, I just wish there were longer. There is so much more to see on these trips and I would love to see every bit of it. 10 to 11 minutes is not enough for those of us who love flying/travel.
Welcome to France ! Glad you started by air France :)
Perfect timing on this video. I was just looking at an AF/SQ codeshare from London to Sydney in the hopes their borders reopen next year. SQ business has been on my bucket list for many years, and doing first leg on AF brings the cost down considerably.
SQ business is The Bomb. I've been around the world in it. Definitely book it! Singapore Airlines is one of my two favorites; Emirates is the other. Cheers.
@@AlmostMonumental27 Those are my two favourite airlines as well. Flown SQ plenty of times when I lived in APAC, just not in business yet. Flawless even in economy.
Love it! Can’t wait to go back to Europe (hopefully in Nov). All I have done in the past 18 months is Mexico, Mexico, and more Mexico. And the DR and St Maarten. Enjoy the Caribbean, but Europe is calling!
Excited to see you travel overseas again. I always find Air France to be a solid product. I'm interested to see how your Paris to Greece flight compared?
Went through Copenhagen and Oslo around Christmas last year with United and SAS, many hours were spent on customer service depending on the mood of the Danish government.
I had no problems with the US or Norwegian border folks. Thank goodness this is starting to clear up in earnest.
Hi, Jeb! Nice to hear from you internationally again! I've taken AirFrance in Business to Paris three times the last several years, my me-to-me Christmas present (topped off by a week of self indulgence at the Four Seasons Paris, George V!). I choose taking the Triple-Seven from JFK, and usually fly the last flight out at 11 pm because it gets you there about 1 pm Paris time and your room is ready for you when you Uber into town from CDG. I believe your module was more cramped aboard the Dreamliner than is the Triple-Seven's because of, of course, the aircraft's narrower body. (I flew the Turkish Dreamliner in Business nonstop to/from Istanbul from Atlanta last Christmas and was wholly underwhelmed by the Covid-intense non-service and brusque -- no, rude -- flight attendants. Another story for another day.) I love the new AF cabins, and my glance at the La Premiere module coming in was pretty lustful. (I flew the old AF First from Atlanta in the mid-90s and it was nice but nothing like the new program.) The food was better but not perfect, the service was attentive, and I fell in love with a flight attendant named Chloe coming home -- one of those "feel your heart beating" moments we Southern boys experience! The AF lounge at JFK is pleasing with a nice restaurant upstairs and plenty of space to relax in that nasty T1 AF uses. There are several AF lounges at CDG and I don't like the one downstairs in the main terminal; too small. The preferred lounge is in the M concourse, I believe. It's very large and nicely equipped. (Used it on an A380 return flight one year.) Altogether, the AirFrance experience is still worthy and I'm glad you got to experience it on a Dreamliner. Departing from Detroit is pretty smart, actually, because on the flights from JFK, one barely has time to do everything before it's time to land -- you don't leave the ground until midnight, they do an abbreviated meal service then you try to sleep a bit before they wake you up over the Channel. Overall, the flight is a tad under six hours. I don't know if I'm willing to put up with the Covidity Complications of it as I'm not a rules and regs kind of man, but it's the new paradigm for now. Bravo for your cheerfulness in tackling it. Thanks for another good report for your flying buddies like me down here in Birmingham. Still hoping you'll one day drop in out of the sky on a westbound of some kind and pick me up! Cheers and all best!
International travel for me was a fun experience, 14 hours in a 777-300 from Melbourne Tullamarine to LAX it was fun but really long
glad to see another video and the first international flight in almost 2 years, keep it up jeb
I have been Detroit (DTW) is 9 times by Delta Airlines ✈️ and Ex-British Airways is London (LHR) ✈️ and American Airlines ✈️. My family live in Detroit 🇺🇸 from U.K. 🇬🇧. Thank Jeb Brooks 😀 good show about travel in World 🌎.
Made several trips to Greece during pandemic. Very stressful compared to pre pandemic. Planning another trip in a few weeks which am excited about.
I flew from Manchester UK on Emirates in December. Had a great flight in business class on an A380. And the whole check in process was seamless, provided that all the Covid19 paperwork and PCR test results were in order. A month tomorrow I'm off to Vienna for my future brother in laws stag weekend. Flying out on KLM via Amsterdam and back on Air France via Paris. At Easter I'm going to the Seychelles for my sisters wedding, flying on Ethiopian for that trip. Then I'm off to Thailand in August for a holiday. Flying Turkish Airlines on that trip.
I have a trip booked to Aruba. Flying on JetBlue from Boston, and staying at the Divi All Inclusive. Looking forward to my first international trip ever!
I am seriously considering a family trip to Ireland. I enjoy hearing about Business Class with a seat becomes a bed. My one trip to Wales was a non stop BA business class in a very narrow seat. No way to rest. Thanks!
Air France kicking American, Delta and United’s asses. Great review, Jeb.
Awesome video buddy. Liked!! Good morning from Kuala Lumpur(KUL) & stay safe!!
Made me chuckle when your opening comment was videoed in front of "Brooks" brothers store :-)
I flew Delta to Paris 9/13, leaving from Greensboro and connecting in Atlanta. No real problems (except sky train not running in ATL), had researched necessary forms. GSO staff not too familiar with international requirements though.
I from Detroit I love their airport sooooo much and hope to be a pilot one day and fly into and out of there!
'Pack some patience' ---great advice. I'd also add that one should pack enough of your favorite music, books (on-line) and your plans B, C and D. If you are in Spain and wish to go to Singapore, for example, Singapore Air gives you a chance to choose special VTL(Vaccinated Travel Lanes) flights from Barcelona which allow you to fly into Singapore without going through mandatory quarantine. That is a great relief and provides great savings. Have any tourists flown into Seoul recently ? I believe that Seoul still requires tourists and students to do a one to two week quarantine . It seems costly and on New Year's Day in Seoul (Feb 2022), one TH-camr reported that NO DINNER was delivered to their group. Hmmmm. I certainly hope things improve quickly around the world in regards to travel and flights.
I never even had the pleasure of seeing the light show in the concourse as i had to run for the life of me through there (Delta delays)
Me too.
missed ur videos! love them all!!! i flew on 2020 twice (after the pandemic) and 3 times on 2021. haha and 2022 probably more.
Wow glad international is back!
great catering with AF as always!
Hello Jeb, thank you for posting your trip and impressions. Amazing to be up in the air again, and being in Paris I should fly the other way around to Detroit: the airport looks amazing. Cheers, Gerard
Dfw to paris in 2024 first time in life. So exciting
Not that he ever really left, but.... JED. IS. BACK. 👍
My first flight since March 2020 was last month to ATH. Flew AA on a 772 from JFK and a returned on a 788 into ORD. Happy to be going international again :)
Flying BOS-CDG Air France A350 business class April 2022. Can't wait!!!
Worst flight: Air France from Rome to Paris 1 bathroom in the whole plane and we all spent most of the flight in line to use it! (No first class, all coach)
Did the other way around. Went from Frankfurt to Calgary a few days ago on Air Canadas 787-9. A Lady refused to wear her mask so we had to go back to the gate where she was removed from the airplane by the german police. Fun times.
I travelled to Romania last month via Amsterdam with KLM. Luckily no issues with paperwork, everything was smooth sailing.
I’ve actually traveled internationally recently when I flew to Mexico for a family vacation it was quite nice and beautiful had an air bnb right off the beach the view was beautiful
Safe travels! So happy to see you are back at international travels! Enjoy!!!
Flew in Delta One from JFK-ATH RT on the A330 back in July. So good to be back in the international skies…and a great experience (as always) with Delta One.
I'm looking forward to long haul travel later this year. I'll be flying KLM outbound and AF inbound. Hopefully get to fly on KLM 787 and AF A350.
You should also do some train reviews at the other countries as well, aside from Amtrak!
Yes! Nothing better than a train in Europe or Asia.
Just booked this route, glad I did!
Jeb is the best content creator 100%
I took a trip to Tanzania in July, enjoying the heaven of Qatar Qsuites. I'm amazed you haven't reviewed this product yet! The Al Mourjan lounge is incredible for business class!
I'm going to Canada next month and somewhere in the Caribbean or Central America in January or February.
The year Covid ruined everything, I had planned a trip to Ethiopia using Qatar's Q-Suites. Still hoping that comes to pass.
@@AlmostMonumental27 get vaccinated if you haven't been, schedule the trip, and get a PCR test the afternoon before you go. I had a lot of ideas of where to go on my big trip next year, but it's definitely going to be somewhere Qatar serves!
i haven't travelled internationally for a number of years now - probably not covid-related if I'm honest - but nice to see upgraded IFE, cabin refresh, seats, etc. when i think of the business class AF 330 i was on last. only thing i may have thought was a downgrade was the amenities kit, i recall mine from AF in 2017 as being one of the better ones I've received on my roughly 2 dozen transatlantic flights on different carriers. thanks jeb. good to see new long-haul videos
Hi Jeb, I met you on the Sam Choi video - good to be here!
I am traveling internationally in 2 weeks and I can't wait!! Wanted to go AF but going Delta/Virgin Atlantic to London then taking the train around Europe!
'and who was I to say know?' ...I felt that
This video is the perfect length. Well done, sir.
We traveled to Croatia in June and it was fabulous! Even upgraded to business for the first time ever and we flew on Lufthansa. Leaving for Rome soon and hope to also upgrade. Very interested in the Air France product. Having flown Lufthansa over and United back I have to say the service was much better on the German carrier. Heard wonderful things about Air France, they will be my next one to try.
