Air France First Class and Air France Business Class seat reviews
| |
|
|
| |
|
BUSINESS CLASS : an angled lie-flat seat. Comfort is okay in sitting position, but full recline is
at an angle, and you tend to slide down the seat when trying to sleep : not good for side-sleepers. Seat width and length adequate, but it can feel quite
restricted, and privacy levels are poor. Comfort Score : 7/10
FIRST CLASS : a proper flat bed seat that is quite comfortable in both sitting and in full flat recline positions. Sear width okay, slight cushion discomfort in
flat bed layout. Seat style does and not offer much privacy. Comfort score : 8/10 |

Have to agree with other reviewers that having the seat fully extended is quite
uncomfortable unless you have very short legs. Moving it back a little from
fully extended allows a more comfortable experience.

NRT-CDG-NRT. Lie-flat seat angle is not horizontal enough to preclude sliding but
adequately confortable. Seat is wide and long enough, but there is no place to stow your personal
effects except one tiny slot the size of a magazine. So if you are not sitting next to an empty
seat, your seat in the reclined position must accomodate all of your stuff not in the overhead bin
(in addition to yourself). Entertainment system is on demand for films only, you must tolerate viewing news, cartoons,
television programmes etc from the middle. My system kept breaking down.

Not comfortable seat. Bottom cushion is too flat and on flat position I always
slide into the foot cavity. Too bad there is no footbar to reduce sliding.
Complicated to sleep on lateral position (my favorite) due to the poor space
between the legrest and the upper cavity portion. I pinched my foot many times.
My headphone didn't work correctly and the monitor on the monument is too tiny
and too far from the seat to watch correctly a movie. 1st row seat with a video
arm should be better.

I was not impressed with Air France's business class seats. We have flown from
Miami - Paris- Beijing and returning from Kong Kong I was miserable after
watching all the movies on the way over and I had to watch the same movies
returning. The seats are very close to the front seat making impossible to get
up and go to the toilet - luckily I knew the person sitting next to me - no
problem storing bags. Seats don't go flat, awful angle.

Flew CDG-HKG and back in L'Espaces Affaires. Seats were comfortable for sitting
but I could not get my legs at a comfortable angle when reclined, woke up
several times due to discomfort. Seats very noisy when changing position. Due to
width, very difficult to pass seat when reclined, making bathroom access
difficult if at window or middle seat. Brightness issues with seat back screens,
had to keep re-setting to the brightest to see the screen. Amenity kit most
miserable I've ever seen in Business class, indeed I've had many better in
economy! Would advise against seats in the back row of J if avoidable. Due to
proximity to bulkhead row of economy cabin, likelihood of infants very high and
screams very audible!

Flight Bogota - Paris 1st of April: Donīt ever take window on the first row
since they squeezed in a seat where there is only room for 75% of a seat. I
really felt like I was sleeping in a coffin, there is simply not enough room

CDG-PUJ-CDG. 2 class config, so 16 business class seats in the front of the
plane. 55" pitch. pretty ordinary seat. not flat. service on this route always
seems incredibly sloppy and slow. the food is always ordinary but ok. the ife is
not suprisingly in french, but it's an old system with few channels and tiny
screens. the cabin is quiet though and since the options of getting to PUJ are
limited, this is the best of the bunch for now. I just wish AF would update the
old interior, old chairs and old service (and old cabin crew).

New business class seats are ok. They lie flat though they seem a little narrow
and there is no place to put your stuff. During take off and landing, you cannot
put anything on the fixed footrest or the space under it. When fully flat the
seat is comfortable enough though the junction between sections was always
uncomfortably pressing on my hip bone.

Seats are old-style, do not lie flat or prevent your seatmate to the rear from
accidentally kicking/grabbing your seat while you're in it. Pitch is only 55".
Recline, leg rest, foot rest and lumbar adjustment are all manual. IFE old with
a small, poor screen and only a limited entertainment selection which is NOT
on-demand.

CDG-SIN-CDG. The foods and drinks excellent in terms of choice, quality and
quantity. The seats were generally good and I find them comfortable. Just one
advice though, try not to fully extend the seat when sleeping. Keeping a small
angle will allow you to stay better on the seat, thus sleep better. CDG is one
of the worse airports I have seen - try to get something to eat before you get
there and also try to give yourself at least 2 hours for transit as it can
easily take you one hour to transfer from one terminal to another due to bus
delays and security checks.

There is so little room to get out if you are the window seat that one feels
trapped for 9 hours Transatlantic. When trying to sleep with the angled flat
seat you see that it doesn't really go flat. There is a marked drop where ones
knees bend and with the force of gravity, especially for side sleepers, my knees
were in great pain after about 15 minutes and I found that my feet swelled
because the angle of the seat cuts circulation below the knee. All in all, I was
miserable and I found that I had my lower limbs swollen for about a day in total
after the flight. Will never do that again and I recommend that one spends the
extra money for BA. |

LAX-CDG, in the new configuration. The storage, such as the shoe storage, was
really useful. Seat performs well for an angled lie flat. I'm 6'2" so lying flat
is impossible with the exception of Virgin's Upper Class, but the lie flat on AF
is far superior to the old AF business class configuration. As always on AF,
food, wine, and cheese are great. The service is French. Had a strange moment
when I wasn't allowed access to the on demand entertainment because there was
basically no bandwidth available on the plane for me. My wife seated next to me
had no trouble, and I was able to access it later in the flight, but I was
surprised that there was no hierarchy or priority given to the $8,000 seat over
the $800 seat. |

Found the seat uncomfortable, and not what I expected on transatlantic Business
class trip. Air France seems to have squeezed so many seats in, there is no room
to move about. Neighbour is very close to you, and no privacy on offer. Every
time nearly asleep, found myself sliding down the seat. Quite impossible to lie
on your side to rest, so back sleepers only!

MIA-CDG. Awful at best. Seat did recline angled-flat but no footrest to keep you
from sliding. Would not recommend flying AF. Try British Airlines or Virgin.
Better comfort.
