I like seeing you both be critical and comparative since you've flown so much. It's useful to those of us who haven't flown as much. A video feels also a lot more real when everything is not described as either the BEST EVER or not described at all.

For your rating system you should rate each flight.... then separately rate the airline based on all the flights you have taken from that airline. If that makes any sense. May take some time to get an airline rating since you would need multiple ratings and then average them but I feel like depending on the plane the airports etc.... the "flight" can be so different. Thanks for all your videos. They make me smile!

Have just flown Air France from London via Paris to Johannesburg return in the new business class. We were able to get row 1, which has double the amount of leg room compared to the rest of the cabin (row 9 also). Also has sliding doors to the seat. Amazing. Pre ordered our meals which were equally amazing. Crew on the short haul flights were exceptional. Long haul crew were good. Love your reviews 👍🏼

First wanted to say I love you guys and love your content, been a fan for many years so only love here :) I think it’s ok to be more critical of business/first class seats. At the end of the day, most users are business travellers and most users have spent thousands on the seat. Your Air France seat was good for $270, but for $2000 it was pretty terrible.
@Blondie629888 ай бұрын
I love the comparisons, it helps me when trying to decide between certain travel options especially if you plan on spending large amounts of points (although I agree that any business class is better than economy!). Also I just did my interview upon arrival yesterday and it was super easy; took about 5 min to get through. There were other people ahead of me getting it for the first time and they took more like 15 min. They just asked me what I do for a living, where I was flying in from, took my photo and finger prints, and I was done! By the time I walked though, my luggage had just reached the carousel. Highly recommend!

Love the content as usual! The business class seats looked very comfy! Air France has become my favorite to fly*! The asterisk is because I was able to get round trip La Premiere from SAN (San Diego) to OTP (Bucharest, RO) and back for the price of their business class. The ground service was amazing (luxury car transports on the tarmac to your la premiere lounge, gate and hotel and back if you're staying close to the airport). The food and champagne IMO was over the top (which may be because I've never had fuagra and caviar); there was probably too much food and champagne if there's such a thing. I will, however have to fly another carrier soon as I still have yet to fly on a 747 or an A380 (or A350 for that matter).

so, useful tip[, if you`re flying from tahiti to uk/europe, book air france all the way to paris (CDG). in LAX you don`t have to go through passport control as they put you in a side room then you get back on the same plane. no queues, no hassle and you`ll never miss that lax to paris connection even if the flight is late. may cost a bit more, but so worth it. also food is good in economy with them on that flight too fwiw

Your experience was so much better than mine, my flight original flight was cancelled, I had to fly back 24 hours earlier, when got on board I was told off for not telling airline I had been rebooked and needed a vegetarian meal. After dinner I asked for digestive, I was offered cognac, I asked what else did they have…cognac. I was on 787 from CDMX to CDG, my original flight should have been CDMX to AMS. Again it is privilege to be able to fly business class however when you pay full fare you expect it be perfect. Oh plus my seat was broken.

Air France is known for going on strike sometime during the month of July just about every year. How do I know this? Well, I've flown Air France 3 times-every July for three years in a row and a strike happened every single time. I was told the first two times that the strikes were not the normal. Clearly they were. The first experience resulted in me almost missing a Vikings Rhine River cruise. I departed from Munich and was set arrive in Amsterdam at 7:30 am and the ship was to depart at 4:45 pm. I got on the ship with less than 10 minutes to spare. I now make it a practice to always arrive the day before a scheduled cruise trip. It relieves travel stress, but it is annoying that I have to pay extra(hotel/food) and that I can't count on travel services to be decent. I also will not ever book a flight with Air France in July. All three planes were in the same semi run down condition.

No if this is your rating on how you felt your flight was then it’s spot on. Don’t second guess yourself because you’re always going to find out later you regret it. With the seats and food and laboratory’s in that shape in business class it’s not good. People pay thousands of dollars for the luxury of flying in style. It should not have seats falling apart or tape on faucets.

You guys should do a rating for each class seperately. Economy, business ect.. So an economy can have an 100 rating showing that for economy it is the best even though it's obviously wouldn't be as good as business. But that way ppl can see what is the best flight for the price/class that they can afford.

For those of us who don't get to travel regularly(that's by no means an insult im so happy for you guys, im just giving perspective) we need folks like you who have the experience that we can trust, to keep it real so we can pick the best option since it takes so long to save.just my opinion and as I said thats no shade at all I love you guys, please continue to rate things!

This is all fine and dandy but at some point you have to meet the spend thresholds for each credit card before you get the bonus points, miles etc. Once you’ve used up your bonus miles, you either have to spend a ton of $ or keep looking for new creditcards to apply for? What a headache. Also fare drop not such a good deal for Canadians. Very few flights are cheaper as most Canadian cities do not have a ton of flights fromUScarriers.
