Today I'm flying on one of the world's most exclusive First Class flights, Air France First Class, otherwise known as La Premiere! I'm going to be reviewing one of their longest routes, at 12.5 hours, so there will be ample time to experience the bed, fine dining and famed first class ground service.

Air France La Premiere is notoriously hard to book economically, with prices in the low $10,000s and miles redemptions not possible for anyone other than top tier members of AF's frequent flyer program. I'll bring you along step by step, as always on my trip reports - so you can experience for yourself what it's actually like to fly.

0:42 - London to Paris
1:00 - The La Premiere Lounge
3:00 - Driving to the Plane
4:42 - Getting onboard
6:14 - Seat Tour

9:21 - Bedtime

    This is my first upload since i've hit 100k - so i'd like to thank you all for watching and following my journey so far. It means the world. Next video will be another train video, on a sleeper service all the way to the Arctic Circle. Can't wait to share that one :)
  • The driver being shocked you opened your own door is a golden nugget from the video
  • @Yoko_Grim
    I love how you being so used to like, getting out yourself, shocked the host. It's things like that, that make you realize just how different someone who does this once is, to someone who flies like this daily, and how the entire experience is set up for those people.

    I’ve just discovered this channel and am addicted. It allows me to live my dreams vicariously through Trek. My greatest wish is to take my mum and dad on holiday on a first class flight. Watching the uploads, I imagine I’m there with my mum and pops. Great viewing! 👍
  • Think I’ve binge watched about 20 videos in a row. The progression, and evolution of your videos amazes me. The editing is on point. The little touches such as placement of camera prior to entering a room, or in the overhead storage lockers are fantastic. The GoPro attached to your hand luggage behind you as you went down the escalator was a particular nice touch.

    Traveling in such luxury is mind boggling. I know that first class is something that the average person is unlikely to experience. This is beyond what I could ever imagine. Anyone who can afford to travel like this lives in a different world.
  • @elber-fb1yx
    It’s on my bucket list to fly at least once in first class in my lifetime. I’m 23 going on to 24 so there is still time to make it happen. Cheers to you mate these videos make me jealous but very happy for you!
  • @Paulhilvert
    Mate I think Air France’s First class is the biggest underrated airline class in the skies, looks so classy and elegant, the Lounge 🤩, brilliant and thanks for sharing and congratulations on the 100K well deserved. 😃 👏 ✈️ 👍

    His review videos are among the best I’ve seen. Most reviewers waste their viewers time with minutes long take off and landing and other unnecessary footage. Who hasn’t been on a plane? He spends just the right amount of time covering all the salient points of the experience. I also appreciate that he narrates his videos vs speaking during the flight. Much better audio and more coherent. Other reviewers should take note on how to do proper reviews.
  • @notbill08
    I'm living vicariously through you..... who knew I could afford first class 🥂
  • @ricoatthebeach
    Mexico City is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. Hands down the nicest people I have met.
  • @the3rdid485
    It boogles my mind how this channel isn't bigger. Honest, entertaining, and excellently produced. This is the golden standard for travel videos. Well maybe work on your food adventurousness haha. Off topic but I've seen that damn Amtrak chocolate torte so many times without seeing the carrot cake once. Gonna keep being watching this channel now. Love it!
  • @ocheng724
    Love to see a flight reviewer travelling to Mexico. Everyone is always US-Europe, US-UAE, US-Singapore. Hope you had a good time at my lovely country!
  • @CarputingYT
    I just took my first commercial flight ever (economy) and wow I am mind boggled that they do such luxury as this... But I mean, hey, a $750 ticket compared to a $10,000 ticket, I guess to some people they have so much money it's just worth the nice experience. Wow. To live that life would be grand. You sure have a great career here reviewing these flights! Keep it up, I subscribed to you the other day
  • @hyperlegit6096
    As someone who doesn't like flying whatsoever but love to travel, I wish this sort of experience was more affordable, being able to relax and sleep with added privacy is such a dream.
  • Just found your channel. I was worried you were going to be haughty or snobby but you’re always excited and giddy and it’s a nice surprise. Great work my friend, this a hidden gem of a channel.
  • @WanderThisWay
    A bedroom in the sky! What a luxurious way to travel. I can't even imagine traveling in such style. Thank you for taking us along with you! Cheers from Washington DC.
  • Congrats on getting over 100k! Been with the channel since you had about 5.13k subs and had the Korea vlogs (with my previous account). I booked my first ever first class flight with AF's First class and can't wait to compare my journey with yours!
  • @uknewslink
    You close your video with a big smile on your face. I’m not surprised. This Air France 🇫🇷 product is amazing. The ride to the plane, the beef in the lounge, the dining on board and the soft bedding all make a indulgent and spectacular journey. Lucky you Will. Thank you. I’m delighted just watching this review. It’s probably one of best first class products around at the moment.

    Love it!! Brilliantly honest about the steak yet equally showing the real quality of the flight which the price offers. A real gem of an experience!
