ORY-PTP - TX542 - 29 Août - A359 (French version) (English version : here you are).
My trip started at 7AM at Grenoble Train Station.
Go to Paris.
Contryside
After 3hours of High speed train, we arrive at Paris at 10:16am.
Let's go to Orly South. We arrive at 10:40, 25minutes after our arrival on Paris. It's very correct for the french capital. At the airport, it's the rush. A lot of long-haul flights were leaving (A350, 747, 777, A330..).
I finally drop my baggage 1h15 after entering the queue ! Then,we go to the police, and it's still a mess. Only 5/10 posts were open. It's not enough, it's time to Aéroport de Paris to act ! More staff can be welcome!
At 2:15PM, we are airside. It took us more than 3h30 (baggage drop + police)! unbelievable

Go to A20 gates, located at the end of the terminal (newly build). It's very modern and clean, look great.
B747-400 Corsair push-back to PTP Guadeloupe too.
Departures
Our plane. TX A359 ! I love it, maybe one of my favorite planes of the world !
.
Boarding started at 14:40, one hour of delay. Boarding was very fast, 20minutes after, all passengers were inside the bird! Great. Heartwarming welcome as usual.
Go to my seat. No window, but it's a flight totally above the sea.
Very correct Pitch

Geovision map (Geofusion by Thales) is very good. fluid and refined:
It's 3pm when we start the push-back. Finally, we took-off at 3:15pm, only 35minutes late, that's fine.
Hi Loouri, thanks for sharing this report on the Air Caraibes A350 and the series. It's a beautiful plane and the cabin does look fresh and modern, but did you not find the 3-4-3 seating configuration to be tight? Considering that 3-3-3 on an A350 is already tighter than 3-3-3 on a 777, so 3-4-3 on an A350 sounds painful to me. It seems from your report that it wasn't much of an issue, though.

Of course 3-4-3 on 350 is tight. But AF’s 777 are on 3-4–3 too.
