Good Morning
This will be one of flight report series covering my travel experience on Middle East Airlines - Air Liban and Air France as well as the overall experience while connecting through out European busiest airports i.e. Paris- CDG
Well, here I am arriving to Paris CDG terminal 2F on an Air France flight from Amsterdam. I have 3 hours of layover before catching my next flight to Beirut which will be on MEA's A321NEO via CDG terminal 2C.
Upon arriving landing from AMS at CDG, I was immediately redirected by super friendly staff to passport control where I managed to clear it in few minutes, I was then directed to take the inter-airport shuttle that will take to terminal 2C. The whole connecting process between terminal 2F & 2C including shuttle waiting didn't exceed 15 minutes managed under the supervision of super friendly staff of AERPORTS PARIS.
Here are some pics that will summarize the whole transit process, and to be honest I liked it because it offers for aviation lover an aerial view and perfect location for some awesome aircraft spotting
And here we are arriving at CDG terminal 2 C
Since I have more than 2 hours and half to spare before MEA's flight, my VISA companion app indicated that I can enter the lounge at CDG terminal 2 C which the "SALOON DE PARIS"
The lounge experience itself was a bit disappointing. The sitting area is small and offers small chairs. However, to be honest, there was a selection of some wines, soft-drinks, cold-cuts, and sweets. The overall experience could have been better, but anyway, I liked the taste of French red wine
Now it is the time for the serious stuff. I am travelling to Beirut in Business Class on MEA's A321, I was offered seat 6 A
The boarding process was supper efficient and in less than 30 minutes we were pushing back
Here are some awesome pictures for PARIS and the clouds layers after takeoff. Paris is the city of charm and I hope to visit it one day
Through 30 minutes into the flight, MEA's cabin crew passed by and took our drinking orders. I opted for a Lebanese Chateau Kefraya red wine accompanied by nuts (first class kernals)
Soon after, the friendly cabin crew of MEA, went by and took our appetizers orders. For today, there were two choices:
- Smoked Salmon with herbs
- Roost-beef with
I had opted for the roosted beef. Soon after, a tray was presented to me containing the following:
- Cheese selection
- Green Salad
- Salt & Peper
- Crackers
- Butter
- Silverware cutlery
When you think yourself is full, the cabin-crew passed by and asked me what I opt for the main entree as there were three choices:
- Stuffed vine leaves with meat chunks
- Oriental Rice with chicken
- Shrimps with potatoes marinated in white sauce
I opted for the shrimps
Soon after clearing the plates, we were offered choices for desserts:
- Fresh fruit
- Vanilia Red Velvet cake
I opted for the later with some soft drinks & espresso coffee
Soon we started our descend to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport. The approach was turbulent but the landing was smooth and we reached out Beirut on time
