Air France - AFR

...remember which. Looking at Air France's website, they do have last minute specials if you are one of those people who decides to travel at the very last second. About the flight itself, it was fine (both ways). I cannot comment on the food, as the flight was short (45 mins or so), so you only get a cup of coffee, and biscuits etc. These seemed to be pretty standard airline food though. The legroom on our flight was good, as Air France fly Airbus ...
...will deal more with how Air France react when things go wrong. You can tell a lot about a company by the way they handle complaints. Read on.... We turned up for our 0815 Sunday morning flight at 0555. Clearly the 0815 flight was overbooked. We were asked if we wanted to take the 0645 flight, to help Air France out we agreed. We were rushed to the front of the queue, but the woman at the check in counter would not let us board, as it was too late. ...

Review of Air France - AFR

Air France is the biggest and best-known French airline in the world. Owning many different aircraft including the Concorde, they offer a multitude of destinations from their main Paris Charles De Gaulle (CDG) base, as well as other airports in France. The British airports served by this airline are Aberdeen, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, London (City, Gatwick, Heathrow), Manchester, Newcastle and Southampton. My main experiences of Air France ...
...show my passport at the Air France check-in desk. The staff at the check-in desk in Paris were helpful and swiftly helped me through without problems every time. At Montpellier, the staff were very efficient and friendly, I never experienced any problems. Prices are reasonable but there are many different prices depending on time of day, time or year, destination and other factors. Full and current pricing information is available at their website. ...

Review of Air France - AFR

...with Scot Airways, flew with Air France on a City Jet plane, confused, not half as much as me!! I wanted to fly to London City airport & remembered seeing an ad for Scot Airways who fly Dundee to London City airport on a regular basis. None of the budget airlines appear to use London City airport & no flights go there from the usual large Scottish airports such as Glasgow, Edinburgh & Aberdeen. I went to Google & punched in 'Scot Airways' & it ...
...first. Booking through the Air France website was pretty straightforward, you decide which dates you want to fly & they provide a list of times for around three days at a time. You simply choose which time or price that suits you & click on it, the price they quote is the final price. They do numerous flights per day, the cheaper flights are at awkward times but there are substantial savings to be made. There are no hidden charges for being first ...

Review of Air France - AFR

...that I had flown with Air France and believe me after I' ve used my return (I KNEW I should have gotten a single!) it will be the last. I usually fly with Asiana but this time Air France were cheaper so I didnt really think about it. With Asiana the official luggage allowance is 20kg (which, p.s I think is ridiculous for a long haul flight, how am I supposed to fit a years worth of stuff into 20kg?) but... they will let you take up to 25kg for ...
...Before my flight I called Air France to ask how strict they were with baggage to see if it was the same situation. I was told on the phone that they would let me off a few extra kilos. So I arrived at Manchester with 26kg (I'm a girl, I dont do travelling light) thinking that maybe I'd have to pay for one which I was prepared to do. The guy on the check in was miserable and unfriendly. He said he wouldnt put anything over 20kg through and he didnt ...

Review of Air France - AFR

...Manila on a flight from Air France and it was a mostly pleasant experience. This has been my second time as in comparison with airlines they are the best overall service, not to mention the cheapest at most times of the year. *** CHECK-IN DESK *** I haven't got much to say about the Check-in facilities of Air France other than they were considerate enough to allow me to re-check in luggage at Charles De Gaulle, Paris airport hours before my next ...
...occasions that I have used Air France the flights took off very promptly and even the in flight time was reduced much to my delight. The onboard flight attendants were very quick to serve the first meal and even setup the drinks bar shortly afterwards. I had no problem with their service but I did find their attitude a little off. The female attendants especially were very obsessive and kept on forcefully pushing passenger's seats up straight without ...

Review of Air France - AFR

I recently flew with Air France to Paris from Edinburgh. There service, staff and price were great and I would choose to fly with them again if I had a chance. In my opinion, I will tell you the advantages and disadvantages of flying with Air France. Hope you enjoy it! Air France flies to many places around the globe to and from Paris or any other French airport at different price ranges. Example: My family and I got a cheap flight to Paris from ...
...Staff. Air France has very friendly staff on board their flights, but not in their check-in desks. As my family and I checked-in for returning to Edinburgh, the staff member was having a carry-on with another staff member and wasn’t paying any attention to us. After we checked-in, normally, with other services, they say, “enjoy you flight”. But in this case, she was still having a carry-on and we were disappointed. Their staff on board flights, ...

Review of Air France - AFR

Air France were my form of Transport to Cape Town via Paris Charles De Gaulle and Johnanesburg and I was travelling with an open mind that was until I got to Manchester and believe me first impressions count for a lot. Upon check-in at Manchester Airport I was greeted by a rather miserable Air France check-in agent who seemed extremely put out by the fact that she was having to check us in, as we did not have luggage labels on either cases we were ...
...by a miserable employee of Air France I was determined to continue with an open mind. Onboard the Aircraft it looked fairly clean and the seat pitch was average for a longhaul aircraft at 32" however once seated it felt very cramped and the leg room was affected on the middle seat to accommodate the seat back entertainment system for each row, fortunately the flight was not full on the outbound so there was more room to stretch over the 3 seats we ...

Review of Air France - AFR

...to use. Air France have an arty web-site to book tickets via but I chose not to as its a new fangled e-ticket system which didnt really appeal to me. The Journey Heathrow to Paris is such a short journey and with todays aircraft you can be in the air for as little as 45 minutes. So for me a lot of the journey is spent at the Terminal. With the 2 national airlines that fly to Paris ie British Airways and Air France they both have the advantage of ...
...at their foreign destination. Air France at Heathrow gets given Terminal 2 which is tiny for the amount of flights that operate from it. There are shops but not many seats for any delays that might occur and at most times of day it is overcrowded. However it is a totally different story in Paris where they have their brand new very modern and spacious terminal (U2's Beautiful Day video is filmed there) which I dont think any foreign airlines are ...

...advise by the nice smiling Air France counter clerk that this flight no longer active, they said they contact me to informed me about this changes!!! never received a call. The person dropping us off at airport was long gone, so we decided to stay at terminal until new departure time:11pm yikes! Now keep in mind i'm traveling with 16 & 13 yrs old girls. So fine 11 pm arrives and people started to form the indian line to board the plane, strike 2, ...

...undertook a return trip by Air France from Heathrow to Paris CDG. The outbound journey was reasonably quiet - Monday morning 10am flight with many spare seats. We borded at LHR terminal 2 and the flight was timely. We were able to keep the pushchair right up to the gate, and on boarding we received the personal attention of one of the attendants who provided a lap belt for our baby and toys for both children. In flight we were most disappointed ...
...standing section of a packed Air France bus. And there we stayed - for 25 minutes. (My wife is pregnant by the way, and she was lugging our 10kg baby all the while as I lugged our 20+ Kg toddler and pushchair). Finally, the bus doors closed and the driver sped away leaving most of us grabbing at some sort of anchor for fear of falling over. It was an awful 10 minute tour of Paris CDG airport. The bus kept stopping and starting, each time we would ...

Review of Air France - AFR

Last Christmas, I flew with Air France, via Paris, to Madrid to visit some friends (I am Spanish, but resident in the UK). The flight from Heathrow was late and I missed my connection flight. I was given a seat in the last flight that evening, as the in-flight personnel had called to AF in Charles de Gaulle airport. However, when I was already in the plane to Madrid, a couple of minutes before taking off, another person showed up with a ticket assigning ...
...flight to Madrid next morning. Air France arranged and paid for the hotel room although my requests to recover my baggage, in order to get some clean clothes were not met. I was advised there was no need to worry about this incident, as my suitcases will be sent in the same plane I was boarding next day. Having wasted one day of my Christmas holiday, I hoped there would be no more problems. Nevertheless, after landing in Madrid I discovered that ...

...I must say that Air France did a very good job when I flew with them from Newcastle to Paris CDG and back. On the way there, they were polite, all crew spoke English, and the flight was good. It was coming back however, that they really impressed me. We got lost in CDG. A bit stupid of us really, but it is MASSIVE and there was a security scare which meant it took ages to get through the gates. In the end, we missed our flight. It was very traumatic. ...
...day. Once we found Air France ticket office, the staff were great. They found us seats on the next flight, which was only another four hours away and would mean we would get home that night, albeit very late. I was all ready just to hand them a blank cheque out of sheer desperation and gratitude, but they booked us on the flight with no charge, even though our tickets were non-transferable. I have quite good french language skills, but they spoke ...

I have used Air France on several occasions, and now often specify Air France as a first choice. On long haul flights they are very good, I am six foot four inches, and need as much space as possible, the Air France jumbo's are just the ticket. They also alow you to pre-book your seat, so you can get the seat that suits you, if you book early enough. Other things that made the experiance so good, were the excellent food/drink, friendly helpful staff, ...
