Welcome back to the channel and today I wanted to show you what you could expect from Air France's
brand new Business Class cabin on their 777-300. Please follow me on Instagram at
Brandonjohnson10k for behind the scenes looks at content that I will be reviewing in the future.
So I booked the last minute trip in order to take a look at the new Business Class. As you
can see me walking through the cabin of this new Business Class. It is currently on 3 777-300ER's.
These are 777's that do not have La Premiere( First Class ) Here
you can see there's actually two cabins. Once you pass through the first galley
this is I guess what you could consider the mini cabin. It has 5 rows and honestly the best
seats are the bulkhead row with the most leg room. Fortunately the other seats are by no means narrow
as far as the footwell goes. Let's take a detailed look at this seat. I really love the colors. Even
the carpet is slick on this aircraft. So here at your seat you're given a blanket, hanger,
and a pillow. No amenity kit was out here but they did hand the amenity kits out later. I will do a
separate video on the contents of the amenity kit. To your right you have a light. Here you
have the storage cabinet. So you push that button here and you've got headphones in there. I really
just love the colors and the design. That's the in-flight entertainment remote; slick looking.
There you have a USB port and I guess that's a headphone jack; but actually the headphones
were wired into a jack inside of there. You do have a wireless charging pad that works well.
You have 2 windows here by you to look out of.
Here you have the seat controls right here. You have a large table. This seat does lack
storage however; there's not a lot of storage at the seat. Here is the tray table that comes out;
kind of like a folded sandwich in a way a or origami. You can swing that a little bit
and even with food on it you can still get out. Here's a look at the footwell. You have
plenty of space there but the bulkhead row is going to give you the maximum space as far as
leg room and foot space. There's a bottle of water that's out there. You have the safety card down
here. Here is a USB port and United; excuse me universal charging port down there. Here is in
flight entertainment screen above which worked very well. It was very responsive to touch.
You do not have individual air vents at the seat so you are at the mercy of the
flight attendants as far as the cabin warmth or coolness. There is the armrest that does slide up
and down. The entryway is a bit narrow; yes I will admit that. Here is your door for protection from
all the other people that walk by that can still look into your seat. That does
not go all the way to the ground but it does give you a bit more privacy.
That is a look at the seat and here's a little closer look at the bedding. Here is the pillow
which was good and the blanket that's offered. You do have the hanger there if you have a coat.
A flight attendant will come by and hang the coat for you. Pre-departure beverages were offered with
a choice of champagne, orange juice, or water. A hot towel was offered before takeoff as well. I
am going to leave you with the takeoff and I'll be back to talk about the rest of the flight.
Welcome back let's take a look at the bathroom. I do like the colors in the bathroom.
It's got the dark blue and the white so it looks good in contrast together.
Other than that nothing really too special about the bathroom.
No windows in the bathroom but again nice looking aesthetically.
This flight was Air France flight 22 from Paris to JFK.
This was considered a brunch flight. I will let you take a look at the menu
here to see what's offered and I'll show you in a bit what I had from the menu.
Welcome back. Let's see what we have here in the brunch. It is all served on one
tray. You have yogurt, strawberry tartare with white chocolate shavings; that was very good.
You have a salmon bagel which I thought was good. There is cheese, a carrot and a pickle.
They did bring warm bread to go along with that ( its not pictured ). For the main course I had the
omelet with cheese, celery, spinach, and tomato sauce. I thought that was good
as well. Before landing there was more of the strawberry tartare with the
white chocolate shavings. The dessert was the sponge cake which was pretty
good. This was a puff pastry brioche with celery, fava beans, and pickled onions.
I thought it was good but it was a little heavy though. Let's take a look at the seat recline.
It is nice that it's a one touch seat recline. So one touch and you're reclining;
I always love that. I know the seat is essentially brand new but it's nice to have that. As
you see you have plenty of space here in the footwell. I did get good sleep on this flight
as well; maybe four and a half hours or so. Here's a look at the Wi-Fi offerings that they
have on the flight. You do have free messaging available and you've got a surf package, full
flight package for Surf, and a streaming package as well. For the surf package that's not that bad.
This flight was seven hours and 30 minutes; so not too bad their. I am going to let you take a look
at the in-flight entertainment and the options there. I will be back with my final thoughts.
Welcome back I wanted to give you my final thoughts on Air France's new Business Class.
Starting with the service I thought the service was fine. I mean nothing really stood out to me
good or bad. I did find the crew was very excited about the the new Business Class which is good.
It's always good when employees are excited about new products that they have. I believe this was
this crew's first time working the new cabin. So that is good to see the excitement within them.
Also something you want to keep in mind is that Air France plans on refurbishing 12 777-300's. So
I believe currently there's three of these running. You can consistently find this
aircraft on Air France 22 from Paris to JFK. I believe it goes back from JFK to Paris as Air
France 15. So if you're looking for this cabin you'll want to make sure you're on those flights
if you're looking to take that from Paris to New York or New York back to Paris. For now
as they get more aircraft done I don't know how many more you'll see on this Paris to JFK route.
Just something to keep in mind. I will leave a link; well I will leave the registration numbers
of the aircraft that currently have this new Business Class in the description box.
The seat itself I thought was great. It's a very functional design and is comfortable to sleep
in. I love that you have a wireless charger. The food I thought overall was above average on this
flight. You were presented with an amenity kit that I didn't show you but I will make
a separate video with the amenity kit. As you can see you do have a forward-facing camera. I always
like the aircraft that have the live camera, it just gives you a different perspective. So
that was my experience on Air France flight 22 with their new Business Class with the doors.
As always I do appreciate you watching. Please hit the like button, subscribe to the channel
