10th and last trip of 2016 , it was such a busy year , thankfsfully no major issues during those journeys
Destination : Amsterdam
Nothing expectionnal but i promised someone i would come back before christmas
The plan was to spend a saturday afternoon there and then fly back to Krakow instead of Warsaw , so a WAW-AMS-KRK under the same PNR , rather than a basic domestic flight with LO
On the way to Chopin, weather is not very nice today
Reached the airport quite quickly , in front of terminal will be a hotel (not finished yet)
Went to checkin
With skypriority its quite fast , i checked my luggage to Paris instead of Amsterdam
This time i decided to try the upgrade for 50 € for WAW-CDG
Compared to CDG-ams for 110€ , thats really a good price
Today again the fast track
Had a small hat with security agents about my scarf (Legia Warszawa)
Few meters later i saw this …. the Legia's shop
They made headlines in Champion's league this year cause they lost 8-4 against Borussia Dortmund , that is a new record in C1 with 12 goals in one match
After couple of reports , i think there is anything new to show you in Chopin after all
Decided to wait in the lounge called Fantazja . All lounges in Chopin are named after Frederic Chopin's legacy
Last year i was still eligible for the lounge downstairs , Preludium , cause i was silver with FB but not anymore , they don't accept it
Deco is very minimalistic
Only view is landside , so nothing really sexy
Weather like this is typical for October , but some details remind me that we are in December
Foreign newspapers …. wide choice available.
You can even grab books , but most of them are written in polish
If you can i recommend you to watch this movie , named 1944 , maybe you can find with english subtitles
Headlines of flight-reports for this saturday
Food and drinks
Was not really inspired , so i choose this
Today my flight will be delayed , at least 15 minutes
Left lounge , and decided to spot before boarding
KL
AF
LH
AZ
SU
And here i am , gate 30
Today's flight will be full
Smokin cabin
Boqrding started at 12.55 , so i guess we will be delayed by 30 minutes
French newspapers
Keep going
My seta for the next 2 hours , today we have the Best&Beyond cabins
The same boring song during boarding "where can i put my luggage ??" .
Weather for saturday/sunday
LOT is in the hood
Push back … and 30 minutes delay as expected
7 pax in J , however Y is almost full
quick taxing and take-off
Flashback
In october i woke up , switched on my phone and received this email from AF
I often receive news from AF , i suscribed to the newsletter for Germany , Poland , Hungary and Czech Republic , just in case and it was a good idea
Let's check the conditions and requirements before booking
First my idea was to go to Paris , but then i realised i needed one more segment to retain Silver in 2017 , so i decided to go to paris for shopping and then amsterdam for a drink.
Final price = 110€
Lets check whats going on in the sky
Weather over Poland
However its much better over Germany and Czech Republic
13h38 , les préparations vont bon train , le service en Y a deja commencé
1.38pm , service started in Y . In J we are still waiting
Bon sur un vol de 6/8 heures il y a de la marge , mais commencer le service aussi tard c'est limite
If flight was 6/8 hours long , that is ok , but for middle-haul they should hurry up
1.50pm , oshibori and menu . But as you will see later it was not correct
First i was asked what i wanted to drink , so i said champagne
And now i can showoff
Love is in the air , sometimes !
And finally the main course
If such meal were available in BoB for la Y i would buy it , however in J thats barely enough
Before
…… after
Then came the dessert
Started our descent to CDG
Went through a layer of clouds
then another one
and suddenly i can see the ground , so yes the fog was at very low altitude
Arrived in CDG , first the T1 with QR to DOH and their A380, see u in 2017
Final stop at 2F, next to this AZ
One good side of travel in J , first to leave the plane
Vigipirate , we had extra control
After this , it was boring as ever
I just need my luggage
Delivered amongst first
End !

Conclusion
WAW = heaven
Lounge = Le fantazja is not that bad , but i should return and spent more time there
AF = the upgrade was a good deal however since a couple of weeks AF flights from/to WAW are ALWAYS delayed (at least 30 minutes)
CDG = from 2F -> roissypole is awful , too much time wasted
1 LIKESLIKE TO THANK THE AUTHORTHANKS ! FLIGHT-REPORT LIKED
Thanks for sharing this report. The dealy seems to be common on this line as Benoit08 alreday mentioned. that's really too bad. The meals seems nice and a hot meal on a short flight is laways a good thing. Apprently the Flight attendants were very average if i juge by your marks.
Thanks for sharing this report and series. 50 Euros to upgrade is a really good deal. I like the look of the new cabins, though the seat pitch seems tighter than the old cabins.
