Air France La Premiere First Class - Best Upgrade Ever!

[@denisesommer-roque3169]

Dear Dennis, the way you enjoyed this flight and your humility taking it all, really moved me…. Having been a flight attendant myself, I know what it means to be proud of a product you represent and to see a passenger like you (customer who is paying your salary!) enjoy it to the fullest, must have been soooo rewarding for them! One of my favourite feel good reviews of all time ❤

[@johniii8147]

Exactly. And thank you for your service. Trust me many of us really appreciate it. You definitely know the difference between those that really enjoy providing great service vs going though and I greatly have appreciated that. True professionals at what you do. Greatest respect.

Thank you, that so nice xx

[@C2K777]

I'd echo John's words. There are many of us who both respect and admire the job CC do. It can be a thankless job at times I am sure but a good crew is always the make or break factor for me on every flight. There's a 2hr delay and I've either got no connection or Ops have sorted it then tbh I'm happy as Larry coz it means I just sit and relax in the lounge for longer. When that happens I don't board a flight with a chip on my shoulder as I know that the crew have nothing to do with said delay 99.9% of the time. If I'm met with an crew member who has a smile on their face & is happy to crack a joke or interact with me when time allows then I know I'm gonna have a great next few hours coz I'm surrounded by people who are both proud of what they do and care.

[@denisesommer-roque3169]

@@C2K777 This is exactly what I miss the most not being a flight attendant anymore. The interaction with people like you, all from different backgrounds, who get to share time together and make the most of it. Treat someone the way you would like to be treated, with respect, dignity, kindness, genuine interest sprinkled with a bit of humour….Voila, you have the perfect cocktail for an enjoyable, relaxed and happy flight. In case not everything goes as smooth as we would hope for due to unforeseen circumstances, the best way in my opinion to deal with the situation is to inform the passengers as well, complete and honest as you can. Together with patience it works wonders! Cheers and thank you for your kind words 🙏🏼

[@stevesharpe1410]

Dennis, I am not a commenter. I don't usually think my opinion is necessary. I just want you to know how much I appreciate your gratitude. Not just in this video but in most everything I have seen you do. As for the flight - You are an executive, with a successful company in the travel industry, which requires a great deal of travel. I am sure you work heard for whatever money you earn, and how you spend that is nobody's business except you and your family's. That being said, acknowledging the fact that not everybody can afford business class, much less an upgrade to La Premiere, shows that you have embraced gratitude as the powerful tool that it is. I have most everything I want and everything I need. I try very hard to focus on that, rather than the things I do not have. You and Jeb have shared your experiences with us with a joy that is almost infectious. I look forward to seeing what is next! On the practical side, I have learned some things that have helped me spend my money and miles to upgrade when I will get the most for my money. Rarely to first (Not much international for me and US domestic? well...), but most often to premium, and occasionally business. So my cyber-friend - Thank you. You entertain and educate. Can't ask for much more than that! Safe Travels!

[@sverdad640]

1700 Euros for the travel experience of a lifetime is the best bargain I've ever seen. 20 years from now, you won't remember the 1700 Euros, but you'll certainly remember this flight. It's also refreshing to see someone who genuinely appreciates the extra efforts made by others to make your trip memorable. I've never seen a 777 first class section with only 4 seats, it sounds like a dream.

La Premiere is the classiest looking first class I have seen, just uncluttered and clean. The curtain give so much sense of space as well.

I agree with you. Other First Class, despite how private they are, might feel claustrophobic for some.

Hi Dennis, as others have said: thank you for this video. It is really, really moving to me. I think for most of us, the chances of us being able to travel in style like this is close to zero; we watch these videos to travel vicariously, to escape the reality. The way you went about taking us along, while being so humble about it, is just something so extraordinary and inspiring. I know I speak for all the long-time viewers of yours when I say that I could not be happier for you to be able to enjoy such a well-deserving experience. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Cher Dennis, what a nice man you are and what a joy you gave me through this review! As a Frenchman, I feel very proud of Air France and genuinely happy for you! Every minute of the footage is bliss and I can feel your appreciation: your face speaks hundreds of words! The in-flight meal experience, the service, the presentation, the pride and effort of the crew to explain all the details is certainly worth every penny you spent. I truly appreciate your appreciation for food and your curiosity! Pigeon is really not my favourite but I was glad you tried it, and liked it! I will be flying AF in about two weeks, in Business class and can't wait. For me, the most important is the crew first and the whole experience of a great meal in the air. Thanks again for the pleasure to see you so happy, you made my day! You are truly a good man!

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

Thank you, that's really nice to hear.

[@davidwhitehead8625]

As a frequent flyer myself, I think 'rewarding' yourself with a special indulgence once/year is a nice way to celebrate the best of flying. No apology needed mate! And I'm aware the work you've done for the travel industry around Oz. This is one upgrade you've well and truly earned. Well done for choosing the pigeon pie, don't think I've ever seen it appear in any flight review to date.

I flew Air France for the first time (and so far only time) last April from California through Paris to Pau to visit in-laws. My wife and I flew coach. The short leg can't really be judged but I can attest the transatlantic coach service is very good and personable, even on a fully seated plane. This was my first ever visit to France and France's flagship airline was a welcoming ambassador. I'm very much looking forward to flying Air France again.

[@bobbi7180]

Dennis, great video as always. One thing I would say is, please don't apologize for treating yourself to a one way first class flight. You obviously work hard and as a 20yr airline industry professional am fully aware of the extremely tough times the travel industry has endured over the past 3 years. Plus having the experience allows you to advise your clients with first hand knowledge of the product. From and to those of us who bust our asses in our careers, thanks and never feel bad for giving yourself a special treat every now and then...it's worth it mate.

Hi Dennis, have to say this was one of your Top 5 reviews. This upgrade price not withstanding this was definitely worth the cost from the fine food served in the lounge to the exquisite food served in the air. The hospitality of the Air France staff on the ground and in the air was top notch. Plus your usual very detailed review of the food and drink on the ground and in the air was spot on as always. Cheers, looked a great flight. I let all the commercials run for this one. Little ad revenue for you to pay for this fantastic flight and the awesome review!

[@HappyWaffle]

Amazing review Dennis! Just a couple of tidbits. The menu on board for your flight was designed by Arnaud Lallement who holds 3 Michelin stars at his restaurant L’Assiette Champenois in Champagne. Indeed some of the dishes you tried - the caviar with smoked haddock potato mousseline and Pigeon pie (pithivier) are signature dishes that are still served at his restaurant today. The pigeon pie in particular has been a classic at the restaurant from when Lallement’s FATHER was running the restaurant. It actually makes sense to serve it on board since, like at his restaurant, all they need to do is to bake the pie in an oven when it is ordered. The langoustine and cod with vin jaune sauce (they serve either brill or turbot in his restaurant) are also signatures that I have been fortunate to try.

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

Thank you that's great info. I've never been to a Michelin star restaurant but will have to go to one one day.

[@ItsJager]

Beautiful Video! I once went to a Women’s business conference as a VIP. Talking with one of the women I mentioned I flew first class there. Her response was, I never fly first class. Knowing the cost of the conference and the small fortune of stuff she was wearing to try and look rich, I thought why not. My secret is airline miles, and other special upgrade offers. To anyone getting this far; if you have the opportunity to bump yourself up at the counter and especially if it is a long hall flight. Do it! If it isn’t going to break your budget. On the right airline it is a wonderful experience.

[@filonru]

Throughout my diplomatic career, I travelled extensively, including numerous long-haul flights between Europe and Asia. Travel on Air France business class is among my best memories, in terms of comfort (especially more recent trips enjoying the new 1-2-1 layout), food (top-notch French cuisine promotion with excellent wines and champagne) and friendly, efficient crew members who are often happy to chat, especially after discovering one speaks French ;-) I was fortunate enough to be upgraded to La Premiere three times (twice out of Beijing), and once out of Tokyo (on the A380, another fabulous experience!) so can fully subscribe to Dennis's raving review! Thanks for this video, always enjoy your channel, especially now that I'm retired and watching your vids is the closest to international air travel I currently get.

Hey Dennis, You deserve a good splurge once every now and then! I absolutely love it when you get a crew that takes pride in what they do and the presentation was excellent as was your obvious appreciation of it. Good Show Mate!

Hi Dennis, I've enjoyed your reviews for quite some time now. I have to say, you're one of the best. There are some out there that will always look for negatives, and focus on them for 'click bait'. I won't mention names. However, you have a way with taking such a balanced approach. Please don''t apologise for being able to indulge on a flight like this, there is nothing to be sorry for. I really enjoyed this review, it was a real joy to watch. It had such a feel good aspect to it. I watched every second of it, even rewinding quite a few times during viewing. It was so well detailed, and I always admire your respect for the staff and crew. I'm Cabin Crew myself, so this never goes unappreciated. I'm so glad and thankful things are getting back to 'normal', whatever that may be now...So we can enjoy moments like this again. Thank you. The most underrated airline interview ever

I love the way you broke it down to how much per hour in the air it cost ($125/hr). I frequently do this to tell myself if it’s worth it. I recently flew Singapore business class from Newark to Singapore. Round trip was $4800 USD. Also coming out to about $125/ hr based on 38 hour round trip flight. Totally worth it to me.

Fantastic video, Dennis. I have flown on Air France since 1985 and their service has always been impeccable from check-in to boarding to the actual flight.

The lounge, the ground service, the spa, the food on both air and land. Everything was soooo amazing! My flight out, I could not come close to trying all the courses. But, the way home from CDG, I made sure to try everything I could. I had never even thought that I'd like fragua as it's liver, but wow, soo amazing. I am definitely going to fly La Premiere again and often as long as I can still afford it! Also, them handling everything for you! I wish I would have indulged in more champagne and the bar; next time, oh yes, next time!

[@renodeeg]

Fun and informative video! I really like how you combine gratitude and wonder with an honest analysis. Viewers might be using money or points to purchase a ticket based on your review, so it is fair to assess the experience based on the competition and industry expectations. I had the very unexpected privilege of getting a last-minute upgrade to La Premiere from Business about 15 years ago. I had just finished an exhausting work trip and was already extremely grateful for my Business class ticket for the 10+ hour flight from Paris to LAX. I gulped a bit when the gate agent looked twice at her screen upon scanning my passport, but then was elated (and relieved) when she exclaimed "today is your lucky day!" The seats and cabin were not at the same level as what you experienced. The 777 had older recliner seats, the screens were the small ones that popped out from the side and there were no curtains or partitions. And I have NO complaints! 🙂 The seat and personal space were still amazing, the food and service was out of this world, I got many hours of needed sleep and the personalized and warm service was taken to another level. I have never felt so at ease and comfortable on a flight. And yes, they handed out pajamas. My husband laughed out loud when I told him I was the only one who wore them on the daytime flight back to LA. Due to when I was upgraded, I had no experience in the La Premiere lounge. That said, I was able to enjoy Air France Business Class lounges in multiple cities so I consider that a big win. One suggestion to encourage reviews I am already seeing on your channel: I find Premium Economy (or even Economy+) reviews the most helpful these days. Future international travel for me will almost certainly be at Premium Economy prices. Since I now live within connecting distance to Chicago, Minneapolis & Detroit, I have a lot of choices. Thanks again and travel safely!

What a lovely guy you are, Dennis. This is probably the best flight video I've seen so far. Air France staff certainly were friendly here, you rarely see flight attendants appear on camera in other video's. The food wasn't to my taste personally, but from what I've seen, other airlines are much the same ... too nouvelle cuisine for me. This is also the first time I've seen anyone wear the flight pyjamas, I loved this airlines design of them and they looked great on you, Dennis, and I want a couple of pairs, Ha!

Hello Dennis! Thank you for this video. I was on the fence about booking La Premiere for April 2023 and your video helped me make up my mind! YES! Safe travels and thanks again!

Absolutely wonderful video. The product of course looks incredible but for me it was that you were humble and yes very much deserve a treat. Great work.

This was a fantastic review. I think Air France’s La Premiere is absolutely stunning. Simple and elegant especially with the side lamps.

.........l have now added Air France First Class to my bucket list . You took us on such a wonderfully descriptive and visual journey of the total first class experience as l think only the French excel at ! The food looked exceptional and the surroundings so understated and refined ! Only ever had the first class experience once and it was nothing like yours ............Thanks for sharing !

I'm so glad I caught your video 🏆. Usually I'd be like "equality!" "no hierarchy!" etc., but this was really a treat (not only for you but for your viewers as well). I love how the crew treated $, you. Thanks for sharing your ✈️adventure. Keep safe.
