12 hrs on Air France First Class - From Paris to Mexico City

Today I'm flying on one of the world's most exclusive First Class flights, Air France First Class, otherwise known as La Premiere! I'm going to be reviewing one of their longest routes, at 12.5 hours, so there will be ample time to experience the bed, fine dining and famed first class ground service.
Air France La Premiere is notoriously hard to book economically, with prices in the low $10,000s and miles redemptions not possible for anyone other than top tier members of AF's frequent flyer program. I'll bring you along step by step, as always on my trip reports - so you can experience for yourself what it's actually like to fly.

also could be a safety protocol. when the driver opens the door its the indication that its safe, and he's supposed to lead you to where you're going. I might be overthinking it, but it could be protocol for live tarmac as well.

Traveling in such luxury is mind boggling. I know that first class is something that the average person is unlikely to experience. This is beyond what I could ever imagine. Anyone who can afford to travel like this lives in a different world.

[@MrSpotface]

Funny story but when i was around 8 i was going to greece from NYC to visit family and our scheduled plane had engine trouble so Delta upgraded us to first class direct flights in seats, get this, 1A,1B,and 1C. Fucking crazy. Now keep in mind my fam didnt have alot of money as we were saving for the originally coach tickets for 4 years lol. so naturally everything was a bit of a culture shock with all of the first class service and dining options. Anyways we were so appreciative and saying thank you and please, you know stuff normal people say. But since these first class flight attendants were so use to posh rich people they were absolutely shocked by our demeanor and we had to be like ""oh no we're poor lol, thats why we are acting like real human beings lmao" Still get a kick out of that experience 16 years later lol

[@cloudydays6277]

Not really! U make it sound unattainable. That mindset unfortunately will keep you broke forever. U gotta have abundance mentality my friend

[@elber-fb1yx]

It’s on my bucket list to fly at least once in first class in my lifetime. I’m 23 going on to 24 so there is still time to make it happen. Cheers to you mate these videos make me jealous but very happy for you!

[@westnblu]

But u have to ask yourself why would u pay an exuberant amount of money to travel ? Its cheaper staying @ a top notch hotel on your arrival to ward off jet lag. I dont understand ppl who pay 24 grand to stay in a confined space for a few hours. If u can afford that u can afford a Learjet which is cheaper in the long term if u do a lot of travelling

[@albalala1473]

A year ago, after 25 years of flying in economy (with the occasional premium economy over the last 5 years), I was able to fly transatlantic business class for the first time ever, as the prices had all crashed while no-one was flying. It was a treat but I didn't get the full experience as the service was very minimal because of covid, so it wasn't mind-blowing. But I didn't think I'd ever be able to do it again, so I was just happy I'd had a taste of the high life. Then, a month ago, I went to book the same trip for this summer (Calgary - London) and the prices didn't make any sense - business was only a couple of hundred more than premium economy. So of course I snapped it up for around $3K return. ((Still a lot of money, but as I haven't been able to travel much for 2 years, I can afford it for once) Your comment prompted me to see if the prices have changed - same flight, if booked today, would cost almost $11K! I doubt I'll ever be able to afford to do it again, so I'm so excited to get this experience!

His review videos are among the best I’ve seen. Most reviewers waste their viewers time with minutes long take off and landing and other unnecessary footage. Who hasn’t been on a plane? He spends just the right amount of time covering all the salient points of the experience. I also appreciate that he narrates his videos vs speaking during the flight. Much better audio and more coherent. Other reviewers should take note on how to do proper reviews.
