At 0:37 you displayed yourself as a half Swedish and half American, but you are wrong, because the word "American" is not a race but its a nationality. America is a place where of all races live, but it is highly controlled and dominated by Anglo-Saxon, Irish, German, Ashkenazi Jews, Black-Negro, and Hispanics of Central and South America due to their heavy population or heavy influence over American economy, politics, media, educational system, military industrial complex, police, and intelligence agencies. So, I strongly believe that your father is a White-American, but the question is that what his European ethnicity is. So, you might wanna ask your father about his European ethnicity. So, for example if your father is originally Irish then you should say 'I am half Swedish and half Irish-American.'

As someone who regularly uses Boston Logan, it is always nice seeing Boston Harbor when landing. One of the only downsides of Logan is that it is either a lot of walking post-security, or you have to exit security to take a bus to another terminal. It would be nice if they had a post-security shuttle.

I feel as if Air France were smaller, they’d have a much more consistent product. My observation with airlines like AF and LH are that they want to offer an amazing product but are spread too thin operationally with soaring costs but still try to project an aspirational image despite all that. I could be totally wrong though. Still, AF doesn’t seem too bad.. I’m a FF with Air Canada and AF is more consistant with their lounges and onboard product. AC needs serious help with their lounge product. They literally serve the same food all the time and the amenities are a joke if we compare it to AF!

I last flew Air France from New York to Paris in 1993…in coach of all places ha. And let me tell you what, it was an amazing experience never to be duplicated in these modern times. The food just kept coming the entire flight; it was crazy. We had smoked salmon with crème fraîche and all of the accoutrement, coq au vin, duck and foie gras…and they passed around this massive basket of bread and we could take as much as we wanted. Of course nothing offered to drink but wine and water. The wind never stopped flowing. Then came breakfast. I don’t even remember exactly what kind of sweets there were, but there was quite an array of patisserie. Insane. In coach!

But then, as the FAA said, better a 20 minute taxi than a 60 minute holding pattern. O'Hare does tie with Atlanta for most annual ops (or at least it did before the great panic of 2020)

I haven't watched your KZbin for over a year; but, I was curious about your take on AF. I have flown AF off and on over the past few decades, and never had a bad experience. I always had an average to excellent experience. I most recently flew AF in August IAD-CDG-DXB round trip. I agree that CDG is stereotypically French: quirky inefficient train and bus rides, escalators, and one-way doors between bizarrely named structures composing Terminal 2, yet lavish lounges with shower, Clarins products, massage spa (I have not yet tried the massage spa) tasty buffet, cafe au lait, and big silver ice bucket of half a dozen self-serve French Champagne. Also, I was sitting alone in one lounge corner by myself for a while, but the ground staff and their beverage trolley found me and insisted on pouring me more champage. I think I also did my CDG-IAD departure from that same 2M hall, because it seemed new, but also was shutting down before my late afternoon departure. I had to quickly make my champagne and Olympic souvenir hat purchase before the shop closed, and all other shops in the hall had already closed. It was like traveling in 2020-21 during lockdown, the way the hall was vacant and shuttered. I flew cattle class, but given my Elite status, got a choice seat, and I got served free-flowing champagne all that I wanted, from the kind attendant. I mention that I flew cattle class; but, to get to the cattle class cabin, I had to walk through the business class cabin. I felt cold walking through the business class cabin, because I felt like I was walking through an office cube farm of off-white/beige plastic walls and seats and screens, and I half expected to see my wretched supervisor pop out from one of the office cubicles (excuse me, business class pods) and demand that I correct and re-do my paperwork files. Actually, this beige office cube farm seems to be the trend on many airlines. No French flair there. I wouldn't pay extra for that. QR still has its old pre-cubicle business class and I did enjoy that earlier this year. I might enter your contest for that.

Paris airport are generally very old and very crowded, and this new lounge is horrible summer time as the air conditioning is always low and the sunshine make it unbearable

I want to add to my previous:. Like you, I have loved aviation since I was pre-teen. I soloed on my 16th birthday, got my PPL on my 17th...(etc...yada, yada)...my point? Have you ever considered training to be a pilot? BTW when 18 I got my Commercial, Multi-Engine, CFI and CFII. That's how I built up the time to get hired at an airline. Teaching others teaches YOU as well.

I love all of your videos. I plan to travel like this one day soon. I’m taking notes.

Hope you don’t have to fly AF back from BOS where the lounge is among the worst I’ve experienced this century…a dungeon with mediocre offerings and decor. Had to use it for my JL flight last month. Yecchh.

Every time I've flown international on Air France/KLM, they've been about an hour late departing. No real rhyme or reason either.
