Air France

Flew Edinburgh to Paris. Absolutely awful on an Avro in "Premium Economy". There's nothing premium about it except that you get the same food as business class - which isn't that special anyway. The seating is 3-3 and even for the normal sized it is very cramped - and the fares are obscene. If you must fly this route with air France/city jet either travel economy or business "premium economy" is nothing other than a gigantic rip off. Truly awful.

Flew Air France to Jo'burg premium economy. The staff put BA and Virgin to shame. Pleasant helpful and very friendly. I would use again.

London to Madrid with connections in CDG. I only flew this route with AF because it was cheap. All the flights were on time. The seats were comfortable staff friendly and very professional. The connections at CDG were very easy to make. I was very impressed.

GIG-CDG-LIS return flight in economy class. Intercontinental flights in B747 with seats that are only comfortable if the flight is not totally full. Service in economy good for a 11 hour flight with dinner served after departure and breakfast at arrival. Cabin crew speak several languages and are available at anytime. Flights from CDG to LIS in A320 with uneventful service ok for a 2h30 flight. Drinks served and a little snack (cream crackers). I chose AF for the fares and definitely recommend them for intercontinental flights.

Berlin-CDG. Old A320. Looking tired and old. PE = 2 rows behind 3 rows of Business separated by curtain from Economy. Seating = 3x3. Business also 3x3 with middle seat blocked. Purser looked after BC and PE. Drinks/food service in PE identical to BC. Wouldn't bother paying the additional to travel Business on such a short flight when PE has the same service. Appeared that Economy was not offered an alcohol service. Drinks were acceptable (champagne offered ) and food was above expectations. Neatly packaged tasty and well presented. 2nd beverage service offered with tea/coffee. Nothing seemed rushed on a short flight of 1hr 25mins. Would travel short haul AF Premium Economy again. As others have said seats hard and there was no inflight entertainment however not required for such a short flight.

Flew to Lisbon last minute so I was not able to get a non-stop flight. There were two legs to my trip JFK-CDG then CDG-LIS. Before I arrived at the airport Air France issued us one boarding pass that worked for both our flights. Flight scheduled to leave at 7.15. However the morning of the flight we received a notification that our flight had been delayed 2 hours. Upon arrival at JFK staff were very friendly and updated us. Lounge in JFK was the nicest I have seen excellent food spacious and comfortable. JFK-CDG was aboard an A380. Boarding took place through two gates so did not take as long as I thought made comfortable by the fact that Air France was sensitive to the boarding time and distributed drinks hot towels and an amenities kit while economy was boarding. Staff spoke excellent English and announcements were made in both French and English. Flight attendants were friendly the seats fully reclined and the pillow and blanket were comfortable. Plane was clean and bathrooms spacious. Individual TV's with plenty of choice. Passengers kept well informed throughout. Upon arrival in Paris immigration took about 5 seconds. A little disappointed with the lounge at CDG. Flight to Lisbon delayed 40 minutes. Flight aboard a B737. Service on this flight was surly. Overall I would definitely take the transatlantic flight again but would try to avoid the CDG-LIS flight.

Booked seat Paris to Singapore months ago 2 seats together with my wife. 7 days before flight they change the seats my wife and I on separate sides of the plane. Contact Air France who refuse to change our seats. 4 days before our flight we find we have no seats allocated and are told we may get seats together when we check in. What a terrible way to treat customers. Their customer relations service is abysmal. Will not travel again with this company and hope that this information will make other people wary of travelling with this company.

Flew to St Martin from Paris. We paid extra for the 'Ocean' inflight meal (£12 each). For this we got a starter with 4 prawns and a small forkful of crunchy vegetables followed by small cubes of salmon and rice. The bread and cheese was the same as the ordinary meal. No glasses were provided for the standard quarter bottle of wine. I had to ask twice for a glass. No mineral water was provided as was with the standard meal. The dessert was a soggy tart pastry base with some lemon flavoured mush on it. Bearing in mind we had already paid for a standard meal in the ticket price and were paying extra for this tray Air France should be ashamed for ripping us off in this way. The standard meal looked better than ours and had a glass and mineral water. Do not upgrade your meal. French cuisine? No way!

Flew Business Class from JFK-CDG-CAI-CDG-JFK. The Business Class seats were short in the reclining position so my 6' 2" frame did not fit. I had to sleep in the seated position. Food was fair. I have flown Air France in the past without problems but I will hesitate in the future.

NRT-CDG-FCO and return. On the outbound I flew premium economy and the return business class. I have enjoyed Air France for several reasons the past few years on these long-hauls and this flight was no different. They are on time reliable and the food is good. Their premium economy seat and benefits suits my space requirements though as many have said the seat bottoms are very hard and there is no recline. If you're awake the entire flight no problem but don't think of sleeping. I upgraded for an extra fee on the return. The seat is much more comfortable and softer but it is not a flat bed and doesn't allow for sleep. The food was even more creative and delicious up in business but the mid-flight "buffet" is paltry. Flight attendants are usually very polite and efficient and I've never had a problem with language. One small complaint I experienced this trip was that they tend to cater to and make over the French nationals while being slightly perfunctory with non-French passengers. This is a mixed review but really the flights are smooth food good connection easy at CDG and I am booked on two more premium economy flights from Japan to Europe this winter. One last comment the flights and seats on long haul flights in premium economy are unique. The intra-Europe flights are always a let down in terms of seats. They are the same exact seats as economy. The only benefit being that you get a nice meal/snack and are at the front of the plane.
