Air France La Premiere is regarded as one of the very best First Class products which you can fly. Notoriously difficult to book with miles (in fact only available to book if you’re a top tier elite with Air France’s own Flying Blue frequent flier program). Somehow I’ve ended up onboard today, to showcase to you guys what it’s like.

Come with me and experience the famous La Premiere ground service, Michelin star dining, luxury lounge amenities and even being driven to my plane in a luxury car. This product is only available on Air France’s Boeing 777-300ER and I’m flying this very plane today over to Dubai. The icing on the cake of course is that I have the cabin to myself today, which hopefully means I’ll have the most attentive service…. (Conversely not right, as you’ll see).

As usual on my trip reports, i'll review it all, from the onboard service, dining, bed/seat and ground service.

    Just started watching these, I love how he’s taking these batshit expensive flights and tossing them shade when they fuck up considering the price.

    It’s refreshing to a YouTuber who doesn’t review Qatar every second video 🎉
  • @SoulfulVeg
    I wonder of they are dealing with staffing shortages like the US airlines are. It seems incomprehensible that you waited that long (with reminders) for dinner service as the only 1st class passenger.

    I can really appreciate this review. I’m sure some people are thinking this is nit picky, it’s supposed to be at those ticket prices. At $10000 a ticket your now paying for fine service as well.
  • your reviews are so balanced and detailed, quite refreshing.... I have flown la Première several times, the issue that I had was the constant chattering of the crew, including loud laughing, during the night (mostly LA to CDG flights and back). I actually had to get up and ask them to be a bit more quiet, and that lasted about all of 10 minutes... otherwise great service, but I still like Swiss first the best.
  • Finally I was getting worried you were never going to post this one haha

    I'm certain I'll never fly La Première but what's even better (from a financial perspective) is being the spouse or child of an Air France employee. On international flights, I'm nearly always bumped to business class.

    Flew it from SFO to Paris and back twice. It seriously kicks the ass of any other FC I’ve ever experienced. It’s truly amazing and worth the money (obviously if you have it to spend on a plane ticket). If you can swing it, try it. Now my experience was BEFORE Covid so service was never an issue. Sadly it’s affected every part of the travel industry even truly true first class air travel.

    I love how they thought about curtain. Instead of losing precious space putting retractable half covering slabs, they can put light curtains which take such a smaller space. The only downside eventually is that it’s not automated, but for this amount of privacy, who cares ?
  • @Cdclark1900
    I'll cover all the bad comments in one: "Lad you are so entitled" "Bro dress better it's first class" "Turkish is the best airline" haha Great video! Need to try this once in my life.
  • @AlexTeeNewton
    Honestly, I LOVE Air France. They treated my wife and I really well and we’ll certainly be flying them again. Maybe one day we’ll be able to a La Premiere ;)
  • I have flown La Premiere 3 times on the LAX-CDG route...The hard product is fantastic and well done; the small details are very well refined and food/wines are great. Lounge is second to none. I will also that the service is a bit hit or miss. On the 6 sectors I flew I would say the service was excellent on 3 on just good on the other three. Some examples- forgot to bring salad after meal; dropped one of the desserts (the one I wanted) so had to eat another. One crew member seemed very tired and almost just to go through motions. Agree for 10K roundtrip service should be flawless..Best part is car transfer at CDG- truly fantastic.

    When you left you left the curtains closed so the staff may not have seen you go to the bathroom or didn't know whether you had finished your meal or not or believed you were still in your seat. If you had left the curtains open they would have seen they had to clear the table and in fact probably would have asked you first if you were done or needed something else. As simple as that.
  • @mrderek800
    @Trek Trendy, definitely a little surprising when he exited the BMW the driver didn't open his door & remove is luggage from the trunk of the BMW. I personally wouldn't find that to be acceptable considering the price of the flight is $10,000+. Otherwise, the marks that you mentioned when on the flight I would certainly agree with. I hope there have been improvements since then.
  • Started watching yesterday and I’m impressed of how you show how it ACTUALLY is flying around the world. You just got a sub!
  • This dude has nailed the equivelent of a bottle of champagne before his flight even takes off, that's Churchill levels of alcohol tolerance

    I think the third cheese was Comté, which is my favorite, especially when it's aged
  • @rebelle1yell
    Some really awesome vids lately! Better quality and I love that you are reviewing a variety of airlines not just the same ME carriers over and over again. Also highly approve of the tidier jeans it’s a much better look when frequenting biz and first . Would love more info on the various airports and you sort of glossed over the seat tour and entertainment on this flight but otherwise well done!

    This guy is one of the best YouTube reviewer that I've watched in the recent years. I'm looking at Sam Chui and Non Stop Dan.
