ALONE in Air France La Premiere *Most Exclusive First Class Flight*

Head to squarespace.com/trektrendy to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code TREKTRENDY
Air France La Premiere is regarded as one of the very best First Class products which you can fly. Notoriously difficult to book with miles (in fact only available to book if you’re a top tier elite with Air France’s own Flying Blue frequent flier program). Somehow I’ve ended up onboard today, to showcase to you guys what it’s like.
Come with me and experience the famous La Premiere ground service, Michelin star dining, luxury lounge amenities and even being driven to my plane in a luxury car. This product is only available on Air France’s Boeing 777-300ER and I’m flying this very plane today over to Dubai. The icing on the cake of course is that I have the cabin to myself today, which hopefully means I’ll have the most attentive service…. (Conversely not right, as you’ll see).
As usual on my trip reports, i'll review it all, from the onboard service, dining, bed/seat and ground service.

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.

[@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.

@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 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.

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 agree. I love Will's videos, but I was surprised when we reached the end because he's normally so meticulous about the hard and soft product. I felt the review was more about the lounge & soft product--which, candidly, I did find lacking considering he didn't get a ride in Dubai to his destination and no second meal, snack, etc. I couldn't rationalize the value. I'm assuming the hard product (seat, entertainment) is pedestrian and maybe covered in another video because I wish that would have been addressed for a more immersive experience.

[@marilynkirby-roach187]

[@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.

@@IszakG Yes. When I'm actually on French soil, I'm paying for the French experience and culture.

[@PabloMartinez-zw9ed]

Hey will, I just watched your video and I wanted to point a few things out about Air France's first class in case you ever give us another video on it. 1) It tries to stay fitting to its french heritage (most of the staff speak french even in non french destinations + the food is very french, with bread, butter, foie gras etc...) 2) foie gras is meant to be eaten with bread, in case you want to try again, it's either you love it or you rlly don't like it.

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?

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

Bien joué l'ami !

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.

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.

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?

[@frizzky7976]

When it comes to luxury combined with chic-ness, I truly trust the French.

those curtains look like a hospital bed ngl, guess there is a reason why only this airline is using it LOL

[@sarveshram]

Awesome video man!

[@henridekerviler1614]

WoW I’m French and you can’t eat French cheese like that not with a fork!!! You can eat eat on bread or with your fingers but never with a fork!!!

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.

Awesome video man.... Really enjoyed your review on Air France premium product...

[@Trektrendy]

Thanks for watching my friend. Was certainly a fascinating experience. Shame that the service was lacking a bit onboard, but overall great!

The La premier lounge looks l like my university lounge/library

[@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 ?
