Hello everyone.

Welcome back for this last japanese trip I did one month before lockdown in France du Covid-19's pandemic.

And since the site restrained reviews up to 150 photos, and this one is the poorest  as for the main topic, this was the perfect place them in this Japanese saga.

A touristic bonus is available at the end of the review.


THE FLIGHT PATH



Transit in Paris Roissy Charles De Gaulle


Last time I have left you in front my aircraft that brought me back from Osaka Kansai (KIX) Japan. Its next destination planned was Bogota (BOG), Colombia.

If CDG is your final destination, be prepare to wait from 25 to 30 minutes to get your baggage. AF flights from Japan are arriving at this time…

But that doesn't mean you'll pass the transit security controls that quickly either; with 4 offices out of 10 were open, where a 5th will open a little later. I needed more than 20 minutes to pass.

En route towards terminal 2F. A few wide-bodies spotted, with a Boeing 777-300ER (F-GSQS) getting ready for Port Louis (MRU), Mauritius and a Boeing 787-9 next to (F-HRBF) who come back from… Bogota. (BOG)

But also a couple of narrow-bodies…

The Border controls. Several travelers tried to pass via the automatic controls, that themachine seemed to bug. But as soon as I passed the old way, the machine went operational again. Although I could use it,  I especially wanted to get a stamp on my passport.

We are now back to terminal 2F. Our next boarding gate is gate F55 and I still have an hour and a half before our boarding.

An interesting fact is our aircraft's seatmap, showing the entire cabin as economy class while Air France brought back the Business Class for its domestic flights (except for Corsica) at the beginning of February 2020.

Boarding started at 5:41 P.M. Unlike in Nice airport, the priority boarding was slightly better, yet I still needed another 20 minutes to reach the aircraft's door. The aircraft was full, as it is often the case.

My seat for this flight is 32A. Its advantage is that it's a two-seat row. On the other hand, it has no window.

The legroom is standard.

The emergency exit door is located right behind me.

We'll face several turbulences during the flight, which isn't gonna stop the crew to serve the snacks.

There won't be anymore photos of the flight since I woke up at 5.00 A.M in Japan et never got my eyes shut since then. I did remember on a former flights, crew left a snack, but I didn't get anything on this one.

We landed via passing near la Promenade des Anglais.

Everyone is getting up in a big mess before sanitary measures were applied…

Last view of our aircraft, that's going to spend the night in NCE before going back to CDG.

We have parked to the same as we were to the beginning. As we can also notice terminal 1 was "abandoned" back then…

Baggage belts were already in motion as I arrived and my suitcase arrived quickly enough.

And thus, is the end of this trip. I hope you enjoyed it. If that's the case, please leave a like and eventually a comment. As for me, I'll wish you all safe flights.

Pictures of Japan can be found after the review's  quotation. Enjoy.

Conclusion

A flight we can totally compare to a certain low-cost airline in Europe ; absolutely zero interests to pay an extra for a "better experience"

CDG: Very tiring experience as much for the transit as for the boarding, CDG didn't really improved on this part.

NCE: Very fluid.
