Alvin, your videos are always so skilled. I've subscribed. 6:26 You were probably placed back in J because they finally noticed how well coordinated your (cute) shirt 6:20 was to the AF colours😁. I've done it before and would not have hesitated to remind the uncouth pax opposite 10:20 to "Please use the tongs!"😖. (Can't understand the reason for the negative comments you get - they're so 仆街. Keep up the good work. 加油).
Amazing video Alvin ! The efforts are showing, loved the cinematic shots and the absolute in depth review of the minuscule details.Absolutely loved the video man🙌🏻🔥
You should have tried asking at the check-in counter for them to write you a lounge invitation card when you got downgraded. Third party lounges cannot let you in without either a business class boarding pass or a boarding pass indicating elite status. Many years ago when Cathay Pacific had an equipment swap from HKG-BKK and downgraded me from First Class to Business Class (they actually had first class in those days), I inquired about lounge access and they wrote me a manual lounge invitation for the First Class lounge instead of the Business Class lounge.
And I would’ve inquired about a partial refund of some sort (If that’s possible)since purchasing a business class ticket only to be flying economy isn’t what I paid for.
You sure make me excited about my travel in 3 months. My stomach is already rumbling at the sight of all that delicious food too! My first business class experience, here I come!
Another flawless presentation from you Alvin on every level. This is perhaps the most positive report I`ve seen regarding the overall Air France experience. Certainly their in-flight catering is among the world`s best. Thanks for posting!
Another phenomenal report Alvin! Really outstanding job with the editing and cinematography, it felt like watching a professional documentary at points! AF's business class product is very admirable and impressive. That dessert tray looked so palatable and mesmerizing haha. Keep up the fantastic work! 🤙
It was a great video. It is really inspiring to see what is offered. It was a long time since I was on a flight but It is still nice. Great job on this trip report
Great video. Looks like a good business product. I flew the same route on Air France A350 in economy this summer and can tell that their eco product is also pretty solid (if interested you find a flight report from that on my channel). Keep up your great work and safe travels :)
wow up until you mentioned it I didn't realize we had glass jet bridges only in Paris... (wow i really hate your music selection but when I got to the cruise cinematic part it seemed like a movie ... sooo good thanks for that)
With intra European Business Class, it is very easy for them to move the curtain further back to "create" more business class seats. This is what they probably did in your situation
I’ve only used Air France Business class once, however as it was such a good experience they will be my first choice on my regular long haul in future. As was the case here, food and service were outstanding and I slept for nearly 7 hours on an 11 hour flight. Agree about the check in at Heathrow, most uninspiring but at least they didn’t try to downgrade me which would have made me furious to say the least. Thanks for the upoad.
Hi from Toronto, I enjoy watching your reviews. It was nice that the FA recognized you and spent time chatting. It happened to me once on EVA Air and I was impressed! While you were at CDG and had so much time before boarding, why didn't you explore the new lounge in 2F? It is much better and has much more food to choose from. I was disappointed for you, but luckily the meals served on board met your expectations. I also noticed some wear and tear on one of their A350, but for my last trip to Paris on AF A350 departing from YYZ, the plane was only 3 flights old and had the smell of a new car if you see what I mean. It was pristine! I'll be flying the same plane in Business class in two weeks to spend Christmas in France with my family and am looking forward to it. By the way, have you had a change to try the AF lounge at YUL? Maybe I should do some research on TH-cam. The one they are using in YYZ is horrendous and the food so limited, not even a buffet. I really wished they made improvements. Oh, do you have a website were we can view your pictures? You have a Sony camera it seems? Anyway, thanks again for this review, and if you need help to pronounce the names of those cheeses, ask me ;-) Cheers!
Hi!! Thanks for the support! Oh I didn’t know they had a newer lounge there, but I think I would have to go through security again at the other terminal? I wasn’t sure, so I just stayed in the same terminal haha. Yes I do have a website! It’s www.onemoreweektogo.com. You can see my best pictures on there. Yes I use a Sony a7r4 camera :)
If I paid for business and denied lounge access for breakfast preflight I'd be damn piss. You're a man of good nature. Was this recorded recently? Possible for interior of aircraft to be hot during winter? Or this was during autumn season?
Man seriously i click on the video Without seeing how many likes and view you have on this video and its only after seeing the entire video i see how many you have and a was like how its possible to have only that as a like and as a viewing your video was incredible please if you have an another chance to flight in business or economy i dont care but please do another video like this
I watched the video to see how your experience compared with my one and only business class flight on Air France long ago. I found that despite my flight taking place many years before yours, the result was surprisingly similar. What I remember most on my flight was the food. It was the best I’ve had on any European airline flight. Exquisite fine dining at 30,000 feet. I don’t remember what I ate but it was 5 star. Thanks for the trip report. Enjoyed it. Video - LIKE 👍
Nice review - very thorough and fair. Seems to me AF can do better. However, you were a little too Kind Canadian at LHR check-in. An airline cannot downgrade without compensation. You paid for a Business Class ticket (either cash or points or a combination), and you let them off. Yes, it was fixed at the Gate but you lost out on Fast Track and the Lounge. If it was me, I would have launched a Jihad.
Few questions here: How far was the loung until your gate and do you needed to take a reservation for taking a shower/ paying for it? Thanks for responses ☺️
Agreed. I would have made a huge fuss and told them as I had paid for Business they were obligated to provide this. Denying the lounge was outrageous however I couldn’t care less about that because most lounges these days are no longer exclusive and overcrowded , often worse than the areas provided in the main concourse.
I really appreciate the work that goes in to your vid’s your so underrated
Thank you so much Zdenka! 😊

I Have not try out Air France A350 Yet.Great work
great report Alvin, you deserve more recognition 👍
Thanks so much!!

Thank you as always Pierre! Hopefully it wasn’t a fluke that their catering was so impressive!
another great one! i’ll be taking this exact plane soon
It’s a great aircraft!! Enjoy!
Nicely done. A very long video compared with most but with interesting content and commentary. One of the best. Subscribed!
Great detailed review. Booked my seat at 2L and super excited to experience Air France’s A350 business product
Much nicer looking than the Lufthansa A350 Business class videos I've seen.
Excellent review with stunning wing views. Thank you for sharing!
Nice review, like the pace and style, subscribed.
Love the video Alvin! Keep up with the amazing work!! 😊
Thank you Andy!! 😊🙏🏻
Excellent video! Nice to see you tidy up the bathroom after using. We do the same ❤
Thank you! Yes, feels bad to leave it in a mess for others!
I really enjoy your videos Alvin! 😊

That cabin seems a lot like the united polaris cabin.

Had a great time flying with them
Lovely trip report Alvin!
Thanks a bunch Henry!!
Enjoyed it, thank you so much for sharing😊
Thanks for watching!
I love Air France service in the air.
Merci beaucoup

How much did you pay?
Why didn’t you go to La premiere lounge I think it’s in the same terminal you were at
First!!!
If I paid for business and denied lounge access for breakfast preflight I'd be damn piss. You're a man of good nature. Was this recorded recently? Possible for interior of aircraft to be hot during winter? Or this was during autumn season?
This was recorded May of 2022. So I guess it didn’t help the cabin temperature that it was close to summer haha
If I'm not mistaken CDG 2E(K) has the same architect as DXB... guy must not be an avgeek/spotter...

Just curious. Why wouldn't you route LHR-YYZ-YVR? Seems more practical.
Nice review - very thorough and fair. Seems to me AF can do better.
However, you were a little too Kind Canadian at LHR check-in. An airline cannot downgrade without compensation. You paid for a Business Class ticket (either cash or points or a combination), and you let them off. Yes, it was fixed at the Gate but you lost out on Fast Track and the Lounge. If it was me, I would have launched a Jihad.
Few questions here: How far was the loung until your gate and do you needed to take a reservation for taking a shower/ paying for it? Thanks for responses ☺️
Future planing trips
Will there be a video about you being in LHR ?
Unfortunately not, I was too busy running around for photos and didn’t take any video 😅
I always do a walkthrough before leaving a hotel. Replacing things once home again is frustrating.
Seriously London to Paris by plane ???
Je voudrais Airbus 350 sa remplace les 330? Merci pour votre réponse
Still mandatory to wear masks in Air France and the airport ?
I don't go to an airport lounge for the view.
CDG is a terrible airport (LHR not great either) which puts AF at a disadvantage when you can fly KLM via Schiphol...
Duck lasagna with blackberry sauce? Interesting
wtf, how can they downgrade?
No idea, but at least they fixed it! 😄
Which hotel at LHR were you in?
Hilton garden inn t2/t3!
Could not wear a mask for the whole flight !
There is no business on the A320 so they let you have the seat next to you for free in lieu.
The only thing AF is good at it’s their First class… other than that you don’t feel France!
I would have been massively p'd off if I had booked Business and been told at check-in I was downgraded AND they had denied me lounge access.
Agreed. I would have made a huge fuss and told them as I had paid for Business they were obligated to provide this. Denying the lounge was outrageous however I couldn’t care less about that because most lounges these days are no longer exclusive and overcrowded , often worse than the areas provided in the main concourse.
Yeah I definitely wouldn’t have been so chill about that situation.
It definitely was a bit off-putting, but thankfully it was only the short 1 hour flight that was downgraded… so I wasn’t as pissed off about it 😂
looks tiny and tight
I DONT LIKE CHARLES DE GAULLE
Cdg airport is terrible
Do they insist you still wear one of those ridiculous masks?
