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:
the flight
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.
