Air France 787 Business Class - FIRST International Flight in 1+ Year

In this video, you’ll see what it’s like to fly to Paris on an Air France 787 Dreamliner in Business Class!
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.

You’ll get to check out the Air France 787 Business Class Seat, the Air France Inflight Entertainment, and the Air France Business Class food.

“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!

[@shsav2012]

[@petermcclung9730]

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.

[@williamumbach592]

Don’t be “that unruly passenger”, be more like Jeb!

[@LongTimeNoPuck]

For me, nothing beats AF LA Première to Paris from the USA, and return. Can't wait for your review.

[@Flywithmike-nj2vp]

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!

[@upsman254]

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

[@jackson3190]

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.

[@thomasbecher642]

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.

[@Handburdger]

Beautiful Aqua Terra world time!! This was a great trip report, Jeb. Thank you:)

[@paddedroom412]

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!

[@anonymepizza7515]

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.

[@AlmostMonumental27]

I despise the Nairobi airport, and pretty much everything Nairobi. It's too bad.

[@ImekaSF]

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!

[@AlmostMonumental27]

Americans are usually embarrassing abroad, especially in Europe. I try to deflect!

[@GilbertTravels]

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!

[@ralstonjosephrj]

When you mentioned "La Premiere" I literally said O.M.G. and I cannot wait for it! Safe travels!

[@brandonbarfield6164]

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.

[@blankblanker348]

Agree. Traveled to Qatar and Maldives a few weeks ago via Qatar Airways, no issues whatsoever. Seems to be airline specific

[@martinasandoval5326]

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?

[@Originalman144]

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.

[@dalerupright8641]

Thanks for the review. I just booked this same flight in biz class for November. Can't wait to fly again!

[@purplecadillac10]

It is so nice to see you flying international again!!!!

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

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 KZbin? I am all for that!

[@meloi661]

Safe travels! So happy to see you are back at international travels! Enjoy!!!

[@collinringelstetter-ennis6524]

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!

[@Chandlergt1995]

glad to see another video and the first international flight in almost 2 years, keep it up jeb

[@marydonohoe8200]

It has been 13 years (sheesh!) since I was last at Detroit Metro. How it has changed!!! Just beautiful. Congratulations, Michigan!

[@johndornoff]

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.

[@GookSquadGaming]

Why’s that pal

[@bernardbouzon5499]

thanks for the flight report. Can't wait to watch the next episode

[@antoniomabuiangue4548]

Glad to see your international flight with AF, loved your score as well.

[@BrandonToy1996]

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!

[@Calebs_Aviation]

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…

[@Nolagames__]

Uh…ok

[@AlmostMonumental27]

[@Calebs_Aviation]

I’ll be heading on an international trip *FINALLY* this winter ❄️ with Lufthansa on their ICONIC 747 to Frankfurt!! 🎉🎉

[@Springbok314]

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.

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Being a DTW native I love those old trams!!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Thank you for the video!

[@jonengebretson296]

Thank you Jeb I’m taking this same flight in November so great to see a preview of what it is like right now!

[@gilesk]

Just booked this route, glad I did!

[@lordhaer1896]

Keep up the great work Jeb! I love and support your videos!

[@pticman]

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.

[@jakeacton2371]

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!

[@schamber1000]

We're all booked for Air France Business Class LAX to CDG next May! Can't wait! Thank you for your video!

[@bamazur22]

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.

[@stevenshi8279]

I traveled to Singapore, UAE, China, US and Netherworlds this summer, so glad to be able resume exploring

[@nickgarlick4425]

Wow glad international is back!

[@cryonah8896]

the 787 wings are a thing of beauty

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Jeb is back international, and he did it in style! Fantastic video!😸

[@geoffreyguez]

Welcome to France ! Glad you started by air France :)

[@gerardalfil]

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

[@AlaskaFun2012]

Great video! Thank you for the effort.

[@eprzykucki]

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.

[@brianm9085]

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

[@michaelafalck1345]

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.

[@snowflakemelter7171]

The USA is only open to some people in November.

[@marilynsnider8183]

Awesome, totally awesome.

[@tjittekamminga5170]

great catering with AF as always!

[@jasonheise4946]

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.

[@Cal90208]

Great video. Can’t wait for the return trip!

[@toemblem]

This video is the perfect length. Well done, sir.

[@aidanwood420]

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!

[@AlmostMonumental27]

Can't beat anything Emirates, can you, Aidan?

Did you fly Newark-Athens? EK210?

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

Great video...I never would've flown in the past. I may rethink my feelings

[@jetgraphy]

Wow! Quite special!

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Great vlog as always Jeb !

[@MrUtUtes]

Really enjoyed the video. I am taking my first ever international flight on Tuesday to Toronto. Really excited

[@rfmsuper]

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.

[@da5ve]

I really love your narration style. Always calm and objective. Even when things don’t go according to plan. I really enjoy your channel!

[@GreenerGrass]

Thank you so much!

[@930sim8]

The 787 of any variant is just ultra luxury in business class. I love the dreamliner

[@lukezavislak7130]

Jeb absolutely cannot wait for my business class flight to Japan in December getting that much closer to international travel

[@EthanAviation589]

OMG so excited

[@christophercullum4036]

"Pack some patience". Great advice! I'm still waiting to travel internationally until we are in a place where entry requirements are less strenuous or at least standardized to the point where last minute changes are less likely to happen.

[@Fatkelly99]

Going to Iceland nxt week..so excited

[@Raaaahhhhbbbie]

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

[@Castro3868]

Love your videos Jeb!

[@Katsolera]

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.

[@exqrtf1684]

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

[@simondavey7787]

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?

[@ekuche8335]

Heading to Europe this November!

[@Traumatix685]

I'm happy you're happy :)

[@josephius]

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.

[@RUSLexplorer2020]

Informative !

[@davidh9844]

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.

[@doc4science410]

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 :)

[@3sxope417]

Great to see the JebScore back

[@juniorcampbell2980]

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.

Flying BOS-CDG Air France A350 business class April 2022. Can't wait!!!

[@cruisingnurse5443]

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!

[@technole]

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.

[@kenshores9900]

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!

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 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.

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.
