About Air France (from Wikipedia):
Air France (French pronunciation: ​[ɛːʁ fʁɑ̃s]; formally Société Air France, S.A.), stylised as AIRFRANCE, is the flag carrier of France headquartered in Tremblay-en-France. It is a subsidiary of the Air France-KLM Group and a founding member of the SkyTeam global airline alliance. As of 2013 Air France serves 36 destinations in France and operates worldwide scheduled passenger and cargo services to 175 destinations in 78 countries (93 including overseas departments and territories of France) and also carried 46,803,000 passengers in 2019. The airline's global hub is at Charles de Gaulle Airport with Orly Airport as the primary domestic hub. Air France's corporate headquarters, previously in Montparnasse, Paris, are located on the grounds of Charles de Gaulle Airport, north of Paris.
Air France was formed on 7 October 1933 from a merger of Air Orient, Air Union, Compagnie Générale Aéropostale, Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne (CIDNA), and Société Générale de Transport Aérien (SGTA). During the Cold War, from 1950 until 1990, it was one of the three main Allied scheduled airlines operating in Germany at West Berlin's Tempelhof and Tegel airports. In 1990, it acquired the operations of French domestic carrier Air Inter and international rival UTA - Union de Transports Aériens. It served as France's primary national flag carrier for seven decades prior to its 2003 merger with KLM.
About Airbus A350 (from Wikipedia):
The Airbus A350 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner developed and produced by Airbus. The first A350 design proposed by Airbus in 2004, in response to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, would have been a development of the A330 with composite wings and new engines. As market support was inadequate, in 2006, Airbus switched to a clean-sheet "XWB" (eXtra Wide Body) design, powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent XWB turbofan engines. The prototype first flew on 14 June 2013 from Toulouse in France. Type certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) was obtained in September 2014, followed by certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) two months later.

    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.'

    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!

The lounge is really gorgeous and I guess I can spend many hours in the lounge. By looking at the Google Earth map you provided, I would agree with you that CDG is probably one of the worst airports for transit. Getting to the wrong direction could cost how much time that passenger needs to bear, and the feeling of agitated, worried might miss the flight. Great video. :)

Seats were comfortable, food was enjoyable (that buttery salmon potato mousse entree was delicious), and the aperitif and digestif service a very nice touch.

    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!

    Yeah that was my experience, too, in the '90's, NYC-CDG, catle class. All the half-size baguettes from the basket that you wanted. And I went back to the galley and got another baguette from the basket when I wanted a snack. And plenty of red wine.

    I’m only partway through. The video is looking beautiful. How do you get into both 2F and 2E lounges? They don’t restrict you to only the one related to your destination, Schengen or non-Schengen? Btw, your French accent is cute. Ok, back to the video… I’m back. So well done! Good pacing, love how you pack in lots of details, and most of all appreciate your unflinching but good natured and fair assessment, very business class. I’ll have to watch more of your videos to find out which is your favorite US-European airline.

    My wife and I have just done 777-300 biz class to and from Dominican Republic from PCD. Before the pandemic I did CDG to Huston, and my memory tells me perhaps the Texas trip was better? The seating appears to be almost identical except, on our return we were together in row 1 and had the partition down. However, the service was friendly, the food was good, all in all, I give AF seven and a half out of ten. Biggest bug bear, I'm 6'2" and I struggle to fully recline the seat without my feet getting stuck uncomfortably at the bottom of the box.

    lol this video is hilarious, love your puns. And the cliché paris music makes me love my own airport even more (where i obviously never had a transfer). So I'm an Air France FF and I think that you should keep trying with AF. Give it time, they will warm up to you. But also every population expects different service. I'm French and I actually think the french FAs talk to me too much, from hitting on me to asking me what the names of my stuffed animals are lol.

    hi - just for awareness, not all connecting "HOP" flights go into the truly awful way out terminal that you experienced. I often fly AF from NCL to CDG and onwards. NCL to CDG is operated by HOP but we always land at 2E. This is super convenient for me since many onward flights that I use are from 2E. For example, tomorrow I am flying to Dubai, my flight from NCL (AF1559) lands in 2E and Dubai (AF662) takes off from 2E. Brilliant 🙂 As you mentioned, if you are flying LaPremier it really doesn't matter where you land as a car is waiting to pick you up !
