Welcome to iTripReport's flight reviews, which I focus on reviewing both the soft product and hard product of airlines around the globe. I strive to give you guys a first person perspective of different aspects of the flight. Including the ground service, onboard service, and those views that come with the flight. As you can see, I record quite a lot of the experience to make sure I record what you want to watch. As always, thank you so much for watching.

Wow 🥯

[@garyfayman5976]

I love Air France and flew this A350 last summer. It was fantastic. Air France's business class catering is truly amazing.

[@2lilhomies28]

Love this, I am so excited for my flight, great tips!

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing.😊😊

[@JuanPLRbrownie]

Love your vids! This is definitely one of the best airline review channel out there!

[@mikiewifnoe360]

Very well presented video. I am happy to see you enjoyed your flight and the new product.

[@davidhamilton1881]

Great trip report, thanks for uploading. That meal looked a little bit better than the meal I had in UA Polaris :)

[@kazhamo]

Great video. Thanks.

[@davet1081AA]

About to book AF from ORD to CDG in November. Business going and Prem Econ return. Looking forward to my bucket list adventure incl Eurostar to London. Thanks for the great video.

[@jcbaily5559]

The only opportunity I have had to fly AF is back in their early days of flying the Polar Route between Paris and Tokyo via Anchorage. I lived next door to their flight operations manager in ANC so I got to know he and his wife quite well. The one time I flew was on their 747 FC out of ANC but had to fly economy from Paris back to ANC and though I was impressed with their service then, it wasn't all that fancy. Thanks for the memories!!!!

[@guilhermesilveira479]

Great video✈️👍

[@sitchad]

Well, done Air France. I have flow Air France several times and was not impressed however after seeing this video I might just give them another try. Love the "suites" and the mood lighting is wonderful and the meal looked very good.

[@GenkisTravels]

Seats look great. I need to fly it to Paris one day :)

[@kevinfacey6975]

Great review. I would love to fly Air France one day.

[@OVTraveller]

Thanks, Emil. I really noticed how quiet the A 350 is compared with the B 777. Nice decor, not worried about the window location unless an international daytime flight. Qatar's A 350 s have a reverse haring bone lay out, and so are more watcher friendly. Cheers from Australia.

[@yanplays4132]

what app/website do u use for the flight maps. like where you showed boston to paris with the red line thing

[@sainnt]

The newest 787s have upgraded dimmable windows, and they're also darker and much more improved than the original ones. I experienced this a few months ago on a new Qatar Airways 787-9.

[@A350flyernyc]

That boarding music brings me right back to when I was traveling to Paris. Good times!

[@clems33fr]

The speed of service was also a big problem on my last af flight

[@seriouslydude8657]

Just booked a flight from delhi to paris and from paris to new york in Air france . So let's see how its gonna be 🙌🏼

[@AV8_YT]

For anyone that wants to know which of Air France’s a350s have this cabin, they are the ones who’s registration starts with F-HUV

[@coreym787]

Great Video! Do you know which routes Air France is using these Updated A350s?

[@jmw-ig1bp]

Was able to select row 10 at booking. no status. Booked 10 months in advance

[@iCuStOmPR]

I was able to score this seat for 40k UR points. I can’t wait to experience it in August.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Looking very nice.😊

[@LMays-cu2hp]

😂 Hahaha! You made me laugh when you put the eye cover mask on!😊

[@corinneeckhardt694]

Going to Paris from Toronto Canada on this aircraft and business class in 2 weeks. You make it sound amazing. One can enjoy a travel experience. The journey to France counts! Thanks for the report.

[@careysmith9903]

I'm still trying to figure out if you are traveling Asa couple does divider go down in middle seats

[@stephaniethal2702]

I will be flying with my husband. Do the middle seats have the same space, privacy, large screen, storage, etc. I know you said we could opt to fly one in front of each other on the window. Which do you think is better for a couple? The window or the middle seats. Thank you.

[@STOPsignforRT]

You highlighted the main reason I would fly Air France......... the food. Excellent quality. Video- 👍

[@ricardosam8050]

Looks amazing I couldn’t afford business class seat 😂😂😂😂😂😂, but thanks for sharing.never fly with Air France before . How long was the flight?

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent trip report Emil!

[@rynosoft]

Is there any reason I shouldn't take the middle seats in the first row of BC?

[@JakLax]

I hope they would install these seats on the 787s as well

[@berkeleyfuller-lewis3442]

Great review EXCEPT for one key thing that you don't seem to understand: Relishing versus rushing. In France -- fine dining is a LEISURELY, RELAXED experience -- not a frantic race. North Americans (and Brits) are SO used to being RUSHED through their restaurant meals, to make room for the next batch of "customers." So what you criticize as "slow" service . . . merely shows you need to DE-PROGRAM YOURSELF from the usual Anglo "grim rush" -- and get with French culture: Slower, happier, relishing the TIME and the great cuisine -- not rushing through it. Thanks.

[@Japhet116]

How tall are you, if you don't mind me asking. I see your feet fit nicely into the little footrest area of your seat, but feel like the height plays an important part of whether that would work for me. Great video by the way!! The perfect amount of detail.

[@user-sv4hh4sp5s]

Like The cuisine aboatd❤

[@jimwilkins7209]

It's not the City of "lights". It's the City of LIGHT!!

[@jolexasjo]

where did you put your shoes?

[@antonindejacques9180]

Do more Air France Trip Reports please !!

[@ITripReport]

I flew their other A350 a few weeks ago! Will be uploading that one soon

[@joseerazevedo]

The A350 doesn't have individual air vents?

[@revolutions88]

Looks like the delta interior

[@WiseGuy1987]

Random question but… when disembarking, which seat is best to get off quickly? I’ll be flying this beauty next month from Toronto to Paris, but have a fairly short layover and am hoping to get off fast.

[@ITripReport]

You’d want to get anything close to door 2. In this configuration, it would be either rows 10-11, or 7-8, on the A or D side.

[@WiseGuy1987]

Thanks! I'm 6'6", so I'm hoping for a bulkhead seat. I'm currently row 1 for that reason, but hoping to snag row 10 before I go. @@ITripReport

[@professorking5152]

how was your experience?

[@DnitaLuft]

Do you know if 10D and 10H is like the same as row 1 that has more space/bigger ottomans?

[@ITripReport]

From the research I did, and the few moments I got to see both row 1 and 10, row 1 is a lot bigger, and while 10 is also spacious and has the ottoman, its not as spacious as row 1.

[@dpmu1977]

Off to France - BOS to CDG rt in row 1 d & h , I was able to choose them at purchase each way. Nice new Delta lounge the new addition to terminal E. @@ITripReport

[@andrewbarth771]

What are the best seats for traveling with 2 in business on the new A359

[@ITripReport]

my personal recommendation is get to seats in the window in front of each other, or get the middle seats

[@johniii8147]

Solid product other the unacceptable wait to start service 2 hours into the flight.

[@tjittekamminga5170]

don't know why we are so duly punished when travelling in the old A330 BC to/from Cuba! horrible experience for a lot of money. AF should improve!

[@tomasotomasi7592]

My dear, instead of filming the engines during take off, I would have preferred you have filmed the various courses of meal

[@IamArloFischer]

Curious why you don't check in and get your boarding pass online?

[@ITripReport]

I usually always do that, but when I film a trip report I try to get a physical boarding pass, I also get physical passes from airlines with decorated passes, for my own collection

[@IamArloFischer]

@@ITripReport Oh cool. I used to save boarding passes. Now you have me thinking! hahaha.

[@THExBLAZEx88]

Emil.. I love your videos… but cmon… timestamps, it’s 2024

[@AA-oq7uj]

Whatever happened to slippers and shoe bags? I guess it was too good to be true in business class. They were always on the a380. The amenity kit is pathetic.

[@stefanino7064]

Hi good report. But it's not "slow service", it's French service. In France we value meal time. It's an important part of the French culture. You have to enjoy not only the food bat also your time. Lots of foreigners are complaining about the time spending in restaurants in France and the slow service. But we take this time of the day very seriously, it's a journey we want to last forever...😁

[@jmw-ig1bp]

it's a plane and some people would like to go to sleep. Not a long flight

[@MrTomV]

Was there a First Class on this flight?

[@ITripReport]

No, I don’t think the a350-900 is planned to get first class.

[@Stavoren]

I wonder who the first airline reviewer does a review wearing an Apple Vision Pro… probably wouldn’t make any sense but it would certainly be different… since airline reviews are a dime a dozen

[@ITripReport]

I can assure you it won't be me...

[@sameehsawers5053]

I made a trip before . And you know what they changed my seat reservation from the window to the middle seat for no reason at all .and when I asked why . They told me if you don't like it. We will cancel your trip . reservation in this company is very bad . So if you want to have a bad experience . Please help yourself. Have a good trip.

[@TheYouDejmien]

I don't like the decor. Blinding white colors. I definitely prefer darker accents.

[@berkeleyfuller-lewis3442]

Maybe you need to visit an eye doctor. Sounds like a personal problem to me.

[@TheYouDejmien]

@@berkeleyfuller-lewis3442 It sounds like an emotional problem involving not accepting someone's different opinion or taste. There is no specialist for this.

[@G-XWBE]

Yo

[@maxsaviation9512]

I absolutely HATE these seats! It’s very difficult to look at the window and to film.

[@_1Brick1_]

Really dude? That’s your issue sitting in a first class seat?

[@THExBLAZEx88]

Bummer you get to sit in first.. I feel so bad

[@christianeduardo1]

😅 1% of people in the world problems. Enjoy your life man.

[@o.c.g.m9426]

Why tf does every asshat under 30 feel the need to record everything. Jesus, just enjoy the moment. Everyone isn't meant to be a youtuber 😂. You can't retire off this, and you're not recording anything new we haven't seen. I know what the sky looks like

[@berkeleyfuller-lewis3442]

Also, I am wondering if you noticed the huge improvement in both much better cabin altitude pressure in this carbon fiber jet [ditto the Boeing 787] --(only 6'000 feet, rather than 10,000 or higher in aluminum planes) and humidity (20-30%, versus 10% in aluminum planes). Less jet lag? Comments?

[@berkeleyfuller-lewis3442]

I've said this to YOU before -- dining in France is a RELAXED, sensuous affair -- not eating at McDonalds. Earth to you, come in!

[@ITripReport]

Oh no trust me I fully agree! As a Mexican our lunch/dinners usually last around 4-5 hours at the table. I guess my perception was more based on short overnight flights, were in my opinion sleep should be optimized. Still though, food was delicious!
