▶️ Video Review: Flying Air France Premium Economy from ORD to CDG, a trip report

[jwotravelexpert]

This week, I take you through the full Air France Premium Economy experience: the cabin, the seat, the sleep quality, the service, the food, and all the little details that made this flight both better — and occasionally more confusing — than expected.

What I can say for certain is that Air France have absolutely nailed seat comfort in Premium Economy. I managed a proper stretch of sleep on this red-eye, which is a rarity for me in this cabin. But then you’ve got moments like American jam and a basic bread roll for breakfast… on a French flag carrier… landing in Paris — the home of the croissant. A small detail, yes, but definitely a missed opportunity.

So is Air France Premium Economy worth the money? Would I pay a premium? Or is it only worth it if you snag a last-minute airport upgrade like I did?

Flew it back in 2017 from MSP-CDG on their A340. Was a really lovely flight, also at the time it wasn't that expensive when compared to economy.
