Air France Premium Economy Review | CDG to SFO |

[@wirkarens2]

I loved your review because you talked it and not written it. I am considering it for my flat home from JNB to JFK on Air France but got mixed reviews and will. Thanks for your review

Thank you 😊. It’s definitely better than Regular economy. I hope you have a great experience on your flight!

looks pretty comfy! i'm taking this to bangkok soon and hoping the 12 hour flight won't be too painful in PE.

Let me know how your experience goes! Enjoy your trip.

Air France Premium Economy is a decent product, especially the new seats. However, out of the 3 principal Skyteam members (Air France, Delta and KLM), Air France's premium economy catering is a total fail, undermining the overall experience. It is indistinguishable from normal economy and they should be embarrassed that you selected a meal from economy class over the miserable premium offering. All somewhat ironic for a country known for its food. I'd say Air France premium economy is still worth it for Sky Priority and Frequent Flyer benefits, if only they would follow the lead of Delta and KLM with regard to catering.

@@tristanjones187 I completely agree with you.

The salmon option is created by a 1 star Michelin chef, and not available in economy

@@Top7Gun You are correct, and it is a good dish. My disappointment with AF is not in the quality of its food throughout all the cabins, but in the presentation. The Michelin dish is served economy class style is disposable, TV-dinner containers. It is like drinking fine champagne from a paper cup. If you replaced the awful wooden utensils of their economy class meals with metal cutlery, the meals in the two cabins are un-appetizingly indistinguishable in appearance. (The second meal served in premium economy is the exact same "breakfast box", as in economy, dumped in passengers' laps, regardless of the destination or time of day.) Where is the French flair? Where is the "Premium" that they are charging for? It annoys me that the SkyTeam partners get it so right in premium economy and Air France gets it so hopelessly wrong. And it is not that they are cheaper than any of their SkyTeam partners. In fact, due to their code-share agreements you could unwittingly buy a Delta or KLM ticket, expecting their standard of catering, only to find yourself on Air France with their mediocre offering. S'il te plaît, Air France needs to get its act together.
