Brutally Honest Review of My Air France A350-900 Business Class Flight

I hope you’ll come along with me for the journey! Stick around until the end to learn how much I paid for my flight.

Glad you enjoyed!😄

[@sandahildebrand2444]

Great video! I’m so surprised about the temperature issue- but the safety video was hilarious!

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

It was soooo hot!! 🥵😂

[@gorannilsson8319]

Thanks for a very nice review. Lovely calm voice, nice music and overall a perfect video. Thumb from me!

Thanks so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

[@brianblamberg4413]

Great review. 😊

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

Thanks! 😊

[@lmckayphoto]

Overnight flights they seem to do an express service, giving you most dishes at the same time so you can go to sleep sooner. Daytime flight each course is served separately.

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

That makes total sense! I just wish the whole meal service was timed to happen as soon as possible after takeoff.

[@lmckayphoto]

@@MelsMilesandPointstotally could be sooner/faster.

[@user-ec6gc9nr3b]

Great evaluation

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

Thank you!!:)

[@ukdavepianoman]

Great review. I suspect there was a problem with the a/c as almost all business class flights I've taken on European airlines the cabin temperature was fine. A hot, stuffy cabin overnight is very uncomfortable and not being able to sleep properly rather defeats the joy of having a flat bed. Apart from that, Air France looks a reasonable product and you certainly got a great deal.

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

Yes, it definitely could have been a one time glitch. I hope so because you're right, that apart from that, it was a decent product!:)

[@ambergood2699]

Hi! Thanks for the video! How many carry on luggage’s were you allowed? And did they weigh your carry on luggage?

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

I was allowed 1 personal item and 2 carry-on bags. They didn’t weigh my bags, but I think it does happen occasionally, though less often in Business than in Economy!

[@nubianpwr]

Hi Mel - as usual, the videography, narration, and attention to detail were exquisite😊 I have been to France, and can attest that the French know food preparation - and eat dinner late - by American standards😄 The fact that your meal (though delicious) did not match the menu, and the staff "appeared" unaware, is a miss imo. TY for this🙏🏾

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

Thanks so much! 😊 Honestly, I found it amusing when the flight attendant insisted that it was red berry cheesecake 😅😂 But the heat…. 😰

[@nubianpwr]

@@MelsMilesandPoints lol😄

[@FHGodat]

Thanks for sharing! Did you ever ask if the cabin temperature can be lowered a bit? 😇 I also find it very hard to sleep in an overheated cabin ... even feel it difficult to breathe and be relaxed.

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

I probably should have, but I hate to be a pain 😅 Also it was so hot that they must have received other complaints. I’m glad you agree about overheated cabins - it was the worst!! 😰😂

[@heythave]

Anything that you can lay flat on is good enough.

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

I definitely agree, but the heat was tough for me 😅😅

[@bagelsquare]

What a deal with Bilt. Wish we had more A350 routes out of ORD.

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

Me too!!

[@skylarblue9461]

Definitely chic

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

I can't disagree!

[@alc4219]

I frequently ask cabin crew to adjust the temperature on long haul flights and only once have I been uncomfortable after that (Virgin Atlantic JNB-LHR and the crew effectively refused to adjust, even though many passengers were resorting to putting on fleeces on top of sweaters!)

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

I should have said something, but it was so hot that I was assuming others were already complaining. Next time I'll definitely speak up! :)

[@robertgonzales3936]

very nice AF is much better than Iberia by the way what happened with Iberia did you loose your money or got it back did did you file a claim with better business bureau

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

To appeal, I have to go through the Spanish appeals process, and so far, the online system is just not cooperating. I’m likely going to just give up, but lesson learned - I’ll never fly Iberia again 😭

[@robertgonzales3936]

@@MelsMilesandPoints wow how much money did you lost ? do they offered you any voucher? or cash but report to BBB sometimes they help and on top of it that affect on their reputation

[@MADHIKER777]

No control of air vents is a deal killer. Sleep is the only reason to pay the premium!

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

I completely agree!

[@charlie90027]

European airlines have warm cabins and often don't have individual air vents.

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

I’m flying KLM next week, so I hope they’ll be the exception 🤞🏼

[@jsbatra]

Clear is pretty much useless if you have PRecheck. The LAX delta Clear staff was just rude and on a power trip the last time I was at LAX

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

I agree! I often get selected randomly for a check and have to produce my ID anyway, so I really don't see the point.

[@jamesadcock5235]

Short flight 😂

[@brianblamberg4413]

I love the A350-900, but not a fan of AF

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

Overall I like it, but why no individual air vents? 😭😭

[@youknowmeverywell8697]

Brutally honest suggest some nasty failures of the reviewed subject. Are there any?

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

Yes - the cabin was brutally hot 🔥

[@fwoodbridge]

European airlines' aircraft are disappointingly lacking in individual air vents. Terrible.

[@MelsMilesandPoints]

I am always so nervous when I look up and realize they aren't there 😅
