Welcome to this new series, I decided this time to translate to English some intra- European flights just to have more variety in the FR English data base. The routing looks like this:
Flight routing
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5CDG > EAP / HOP! / E70 / Y
transit cdg
We had a three hours layover in CDG and needed to transit from 2F to 2G

The signs are clear but the yellow color is not, in my opinion, the nicest:


This way:

The FIDS, the flight is scheduled on time, but Air France is very well known for announcing the delays at the very last minute:


Those information screens are a great addition:

We boarded the bus and were alone inside:

A321:

Arrived at 2G. #stairwaytoheaven

The waiting hall:

We went to the lounge that just reopened after two weeks of renovations:

lounge af 2g
I had been informed that the floor went to an extensive clean up but did not notice anything special:


Nothing changed in the lavatories also:



OK, I didn't notice any big change. Let's see the buffet with here the coffee station:

Nothing changed here also:


#alldaybacon.
This is something I will never understand. The lounge has bacon the whole day on offer and also a soup or quiche. When the lounge opened Air France promoted it with "An open kitchen where cooks and bakers will prepare fresh food". I have never seen anything like this since the opening.

Some breads:

Those waffles remind me about something.

Smoothies and raspberry tartlets:

The cold offer section:


I started with a smoothie:

My selection:

The view is nice but mostly all Embraers :)


This 777 goes to BOS:

More Embraer with the first E90 with the Air France livery:

We went to the gate shortly before the boarding:


This way:

I really like the new livery:

E70:


The gate is not yet announced but the AF app gives it always far more in advance than the FIDS:

The gates:

G32 today:

As we arrived the boarding was announced:

Our bird:


This E90 next to us:

Fuselage shoot:

Nice welcome at the door, the cabin is well known in the french domestic market:


Safety Card:


Front galley:

The legroom isn't amazing on the first row of the E70, it is much better on the E90:

We took of a few minutes late, some view of Paris:


The snack:

And then felt asleep until landing!

We leave the aircraft via jetbridge:

But need to take the stairs (a lift is also available) to reach the arrival hall.



This part of the hall has been renovated a few weeks before:


The bad surprise came upon arrival as two of our Samsonite luggages had been badly damaged. They have been reimbursed in full by the airline.
