your reviews are so balanced and detailed, quite refreshing.... I have flown la Première several times, the issue that I had was the constant chattering of the crew, including loud laughing, during the night (mostly LA to CDG flights and back). I actually had to get up and ask them to be a bit more quiet, and that lasted about all of 10 minutes... otherwise great service, but I still like Swiss first the best.

[@Trektrendy]

Thanks so much for the feedback really appreciate it. And yeah it’s a shame about the service on this flight to be honest. I’m glad you say Swiss is one of the best, flying their F cabin in two weeks time for the first time as well!

[@francinesicard464]

[@Bellasie1]

​@@Trektrendy Thanks for the video. AF has a superior product but a generally inferior service. It is well known within the industry. I'm repeating something I answered to someone else: I worked with an Asian airline for a long time. It is absolutely unthinkable you would return from the bathroom to your First class seat and find your empty dirty dishes still uncollected, and even less acceptable that the call button be left unanswered for 10 minutes! Especially as the First class was empty, there's normally a crew of 3 at the front in that aircraft, and even if one is dispatched to help at the back, no cabin can be left unattended for obvious reasons. Imagine if you're sick and need assistance? How do they get away with not answering the call button in a compartment with only one passenger? Not professional! Sadly, AF crew's questionable mentality ruins the experience. They tend to feel more important than the customers and don't even make efforts to hide it. I've seen the same thing in another video not too long ago where they even forgot to serve a couple of items in the First class meal (a soup, a side and bread)! On codeshare flights, I often received comments from AF passengers who told me similar stories, even one asking for coffee in business class who was answered she'd make it once she'd be finished reading her magazine. I'm not making it up. Being partly French, I feel embarrassed by such behavior. It must have been better in the past.

I'm certain I'll never fly La Première but what's even better (from a financial perspective) is being the spouse or child of an Air France employee. On international flights, I'm nearly always bumped to business class.

[@sakethguntupalli3301]

I have flown La Premiere 3 times on the LAX-CDG route...The hard product is fantastic and well done; the small details are very well refined and food/wines are great. Lounge is second to none. I will also that the service is a bit hit or miss. On the 6 sectors I flew I would say the service was excellent on 3 on just good on the other three. Some examples- forgot to bring salad after meal; dropped one of the desserts (the one I wanted) so had to eat another. One crew member seemed very tired and almost just to go through motions. Agree for 10K roundtrip service should be flawless..Best part is car transfer at CDG- truly fantastic.

[@vizender]

I love how they thought about curtain. Instead of losing precious space putting retractable half covering slabs, they can put light curtains which take such a smaller space. The only downside eventually is that it’s not automated, but for this amount of privacy, who cares ?

When you left you left the curtains closed so the staff may not have seen you go to the bathroom or didn't know whether you had finished your meal or not or believed you were still in your seat. If you had left the curtains open they would have seen they had to clear the table and in fact probably would have asked you first if you were done or needed something else. As simple as that.

[@vellyprvt]

So glad you said this

[@Trektrendy]

Thanks for watching. The curtains were not fully closed when I left for the bathroom, and I also walked passed the galley where said FA was. Unfortunately the added issue is the call bell remained unanswered for 15minutes after I returned to my seat. Not what you'd expect for La Premiere and at this price point in my opinion.

[@Trektrendy]

@@vellyprvt Unfortunately this point isn't quite right as I've highlighted above. I went a full 30 minutes with no checks and at 10k a ticket that's not quite right.

[@puccaland]

@@Trektrendy Thank you for your reply. On the video it's obvious that the curtains weren't open enough to warrant any action on your table. You walking passed the galley to go to the bathroom says nothing about whether they should clear your table or not. If anything you could have told them that you had finished your meal and asked that they clear the table. Anyway taking an action with the curtains close without being expressly asked is a major faux pas for most passengers flying La Première. It would be perceived as very intrusive. The waiting time after ringing the bell is indeed unacceptable. Although depends on whether there were issues like safety issues and the cabine crew had to stay put. Same if you said that you wanted your meal at time ABC and it didn't happen. But that's very unusual, even unheard of. Perhaps the mishaps after restarting the service, inexperienced team or you not being lucky etc.

I appreciate that you're willing to be critical if something doesn't seem up to par with the price point, even though yeah, it's super luxurious and you wouldn't expect people to criticize something like that. Just like anywhere, if you're paying a certain amount of money, you expect that payment to be reflected in the service, be it a cheap hotel or a $10k plane ticket.

[@mrderek800]

@Trek Trendy, definitely a little surprising when he exited the BMW the driver didn't open his door & remove is luggage from the trunk of the BMW. I personally wouldn't find that to be acceptable considering the price of the flight is $10,000+. Otherwise, the marks that you mentioned when on the flight I would certainly agree with. I hope there have been improvements since then.

[@valerieking5265]

@Derek, it's possible that Trek Trendy opened the door and exited the BMW before the driver has a chance to open the door for them. He mentioned in another video that he did the same thing and the driver was shocked because that's part of their job. I think if you're not used to someone opening your door for you; it's an automatic thing to open the door and exit without waiting for the driver.

[@jetaddicted]

The long delay for the supper comes from the facts that the food often arrives frozen, and then the meals in la Première are dressed on board (really, the dishes are prepared on board, out of kits) by the same crew member that takes care of the pilots, these latter have priority by law and they will very often be hungry right after take off… That put aside, the hot dishes will need minimum 30 minutes in those aircraft ovens. I’m afraid your attendant did his very best and as fast as he could, knowing he does the cooking AND the service. Last: in France, we take our time to eat, to undress a table too fast is frowned upon, kind of like you’d want to get rid of a shameful thing, not good!

[@annecy49]

"Last: in France, we take our time to eat, to undress a table too fast is frowned upon, kind of like you’d want to get rid of a shameful thing, not good!" This is very true and a good observation here. I could have gone to the bathroom, get changed and still order a last bite, or a tea. Finding the table cleared of everything would have simply meant: Sorry, you are not allowed to eat more, you had enough. That would have been rude! But maybe it's a cultural thing too.

[@badrockxxx]

He had been done eating for 25 min prior to him changing in the bathroom. The bathroom change took another 10 min. That’s 35 minutes of time elapsed from when he finished his food. I don’t care about culture….if it’s been 35 min since someone has finished a full course meal I think it’s safe to assume they’re done. At 10,000 a ticket I’m not paying for your culture, I’m paying for service.

[@nikoandroman]

@@annecy49 True, I find that westerners and Americans as such don’t have a very common thing in Latin and European countries called “sobremesa” in which you are done eating but people often order coffee, drinks or sometimes we don’t even order anything we just talk for a long time after eating.

I’m baffled at not having a separate security line for VIPs/Celebs when they’ve obviously gone to the trouble of making locating the Premiere lounge difficult and when they have a private passage to security. The service and food/drink in the La Premiere lounge itself was excellent, as was the quick drive over to the plane. Why is the Hertz branding so prominent? I get that they wouldn’t want to own the vehicles but the branding feels excessive. I have to say that the onboard product seemed lacking to me, while the space was nice, the seat was nothing special, pulling a curtain for privacy seemed highly inadequate. And why ask when you want the meal if they are then going to delay getting it to you?

[@GazaLondon]

Great video. I must admit I found the service similar to yourself and not what I would have expected from their premier product.

[@famiilliii]

So.... the airport VIP treatment and lounge is easily much better than the flight itself.... Ah... ok😇

[@tihspidtherekciltilc5469]

Yet costs them pennies when compared to the floor area taken on the plane but even that only takes up about four first class seats so mucking up meal service is inexcusable for the price and having the tackiness of putting Hertz on the limo.

[@MaxRank]

That premiere best in class service begins with an Ober? Queue record scratch. I flown many airline first class packages and have to say I’m not blown away by Air France’s package. Emirates smash this out of the water. Great vid. Can’t wait to get back in the sky.

[@hanj31]

what sets AF apart from any other airline is champagne even in economy class.

[@Thatonlyone678]

This has one of the best lounge food options I have ever seen . PJ'S look super cool and comfy 😎 👌

[@mattyeung7772]

Your editing skills are improving day by day, I really like how you introduce these kinds of aircraft services with your true opinion. You did a great job.

[@Trektrendy]

Thanks so much Matt - super glad you enjoyed the video 😀

[@mattyeung7772]

Keep it up my man! You are the best 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Trektrendy]

[@Tetemovies4]

4:17 Aie aie aie l'Orezza! My favorite sparkling water, however i must criticize your non use of bread for the foie gras and the cheese 😁 Foie gras gets even better with lemon but it's not systematically served with some since it's not a super mainstream convention

[@jimmurphy4703]

So glad to see you abandoned the slashed jeans ! 😉

[@courtneywalter9681]

FOR 10K THE FLIGHT SERVICE SHOULD BE 🗣IMPECCABLE!!!!!

[@buhaycanadachannel8419]

Expensive for a disappointing in-flight service; ground service was amazing though👌👍Nice review❤️😍

[@bengriffin5146]

La Première lounge dining looking very strong! Bravo Air France !

[@eu-rwaychew5063]

How did you book this flight? La Premiere is really hard to book, even when using points.

[@justrandomthings319]

What do you mean really hard to book? Do you mean availability or the high price?

[@jordanjulien3657]

Please, for all strangers wich come in France, please eat french cheese with a good french bread ! It will be muuuch better than alone. (For good bread, go into little « boulangerie » or if you can’t, look for what french calls « pain de campagne »)

[@dumbledorrito]

I’ve always been a bit curious about this. How are you able to afford these flights? Is it purely sponsor revenue and or passive income generated by KZbin or perhaps a seperate side hustle?

[@snakepond]

I flew La Premiere last week CDG-DXB. The whole experience was truly awesome, the club, the shower, the club food, the flight, the service, the in-flight meal, the car service(s). When I arrived at DXB, I was met by private escort who whisked me through customs 😀. Not having to deal with boarding at the gate and being escorted directly to the plane, and then to your seat was on another level. I sat in the same seat , 1A. By the way, it looks like you stayed at the Shangri-La Dubai, I stayed there as well. What did you think of the hotel?

[@kymmoulds]

Thanks for the review of the flight. A shame about the sub standard service, and as you said first class and over $10,000 for the ticket. Air France should lift their game.

[@lala-ct9ir]

The "sub standard service" is what I would be looking for at this price point. I don't want crew hanging around me at all times. If I want something I'll let them know.

[@colinmclean1642]

If you ever get the opportunity, try Louis roderer crystal, awesome champagne

[@Trektrendy]

Thanks Colin - I got to try it on JAL First Class, a lovely champagne too 🥂

[@fp3740]

Heartbreaking to see a well-done steak

[@Trektrendy]

The steak was medium rare - I think if i'd asked for well done i'd have been ejected from the lounge 😂

[@mistyluv261]

I just started watching your videos. Very entertaining. Just wondering, isn't Cristal ($300+) which is more expensive than Dom Perignon ($250+) which is more expensive than Krug ($175) the best champagne to order on first class or do they just not offer it? Thanks.

[@ddarkdomz]

As a flight attendant, I feel I need to brief the masses on several things. The concept behind First Class is all about privacy, not luxury. Don't look at Emirates or Qatar Airways' and assume that's the standard for First Class. In reality, real rich people can be really paranoid, can be really particular, so it's all about understated, unintrusive customer service... and it's the little things that matter. For example, only on First Class will you actually find a lie flat product that's actually a bed. Business Class flat beds are... really just a really narrow wooden plank that's beautifully decorated. It's really not as comfortable as it looks. That's foie gras terrine, which is significantly lighter in flavor. In any case, it's 2021. Foie gras is generally done sustainably now, which IMHO takes away a lot of the umami from it. Foie gras today will simply mean "duck/ chicken/ any poultry" liver.

[@radhiadeedou8286]

You say it's mainly about privacy then give an example that has nothing to do with privacy And what's "real rich people"?

[@lala-ct9ir]

Thank you, this is precisely the point and what I would be looking for in 1st class.

[@TheVanuPhantom]

I just can't help but notice that you stayed at CitizenM. Excellent choice!

[@moviesnips]

I remember traveling on both Air France and British Airways in First Class (as a young kid), brings back fond memories :) It's incredible to see how much the cabin design and amenities have transformed over the years!

[@marionarda2790]

I took the pasta with ham and truffles. Delicious . And I remember having a specific line for security

[@donnamanitu8673]

Thank you for the review and for not wearing those awful torn up pants. For you to be in first class and almost not given any service I wonder how they treated the business and coach class ?

[@danielkegel772]

I guess you booked this using Flying Blue miles? That is an impressive feat since Air France only has 76 La Premiere seats in the entire fleet (19 aircraft with 4 seats each), you have to be at lease Flying Blue Gold to even be able to redeem award space for La Premiere and to cap it off they want at least 175.000 miles for CDG-DXB one-way - but it could be much, much more since there is no fixed award chart. By contrast, First on Emirates on the same route is 85k miles (or a 39k upgrade from Business)

[@johnsymonstcu]

Will, I enjoyed this comprehensive review. I was quite surprised that you had such slow service especially since it looked like you were the only passenger in the First Class cabin. I saw nothing that would cause me to book Air France over a First Class suite on a Singapore Airlines A-380. For many years I have been and will continue to be a loyal and happy customer of the true premier service offered on my all time favorite airline, SQ. 👍❤🇸🇬🛫💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Thanks for your review. Looking forward to what you will be up to next. Take care and have a rewarding week.

[@Originaire]

what you do for a living in order to book first plane class ??

[@adam__smith]

There's some magic happening in your champagne at 9:50!

[@nezbrun872]

Mate, if you're paying $300 retail for Krug NV, I'd change your supplier! Same applies to your choice of restaurant if you're paying $100 for that steak. Grand Siècle is pronounced Gron-See-Air-Cl. I'm impressed they got you some Krug, is that normal for that lounge? the only lounges I've had that in recent years is Singapore Private Room and Qatar Al Safwa pre pandemic, although in Al Safwa it only comes back occasionally, around Christmas & New Year, and I don't think SQ have it in the Private Room any more at all nowadays. That was crap on board service: I can only assume that the FA was down the back or on crew rest. On BA, Qatar and Emirates when I've been the only soul in F there's always at least one crew in the galley: and I feel sorry for them, they must get really bored. I'm the other way regarding caviar, using it as a garnish is a bit of a waste of good caviar IMHO. Blinis are infamously bad in the air, they dry out and there's never enough: plain white fresh crusty bread is a good alternative. Foie Gras is just goose or duck liver, it was served to you as a slice of terrine: to enjoy it, you really need to get the wine right, and it's definitely not a bone dry Champagne, you need something off dry like a Sauternes. Foie Gras is also often served pan fried and it's a completely different experience to a pâté en terrine: you won't ever get that on a plane though, it's prepared a la minute. I'm not a massive fan of either on their own, but sometimes the pan fried can be quite the experience if the chef knows what they're doing: gingerbread & pan fried foie gras, or as a poultry stuffing/accompaniment for example. There wasn't really anything there that made me think Michelin star I'm afraid, much more brasserie standard I'm afraid.

[@MaffiaWife0515]

I give you alot of credit with how much you fly! When I was younger I had no problem but now I have the worst anxiety ever and now if I cant drive somewhere I wont go! Lol but maybe if I had the money to fly first class it may be easier for me...idk how you do it!
