packed&ready!

I have flown with AF multiple times but always in business. They are ok as an airline but CDG airport is a nightmare and I avoid connecting there at all costs.

 

I agree that most economy seating is pretty awful these days. We generally choose Delta because of the reasonable fee to upgrade to Economy Comfort which is more bearable.

 

The worst seats we ever had in economy were on Lufthansa last year. It was on one of their Airbus 330 and my husband literally had to climb onto my seat (I was on the aisle) to get out to use the lavs when the passenger in front of him was in full recline.

We were on an Airbus to CDG , coach and it was a torture! I vowed never to book coach again, but coming home on an early flight on a Boeing 777, I was surprised at the cushy seat. I didn't mind that too much. As we got older we tried premium economy, just made sure it was a 777. We loved it. Didn't lay flat but I never sleep anyway. I got so used to CDG not picking us up for wheelchair service that I didn't wait and jumped on a bus for the terminal I needed. Wrote a big letter to AF while on that plane at the stewardess request and the last time we flew that route there were chairs lined up ready and waiting for us and others. After transporting us in the chairs they put us on buses and we made our flight. Now I prefer AF, I know my way around and I am comfortable flying in and out of CDG, I don't want to fly anything overseas but a 777 . You just can't tell the stewardess you need assistance. You have to call Saphir, the service from AF.

Bon Voyage

Had a very nice tour in Barcelona this past spring. We just wanted short tour and this was perfect. Will use again if going to Barcelona. They also do longer tours.

It will be perfect for us. I'm the sun lover and DH is always in the shade. I wish the cruise was sooner! Glad I didn't call my TA and give her a headache and make a fool of myself.

Now, does anyone want to help me with a paint color? My walls are dotted with samples and driving DH nuts! Just kidding.

Thanks all.

I hate the fish-eye!! Thanks all.

Thank you all for wonderfully quick responses! I read the info about the balcony on the "spreadsheet" on this website and the picture on the home page about unusual balconies, called the tunnel. I thought all the S-class ships are the same. I feel a whole lot better about that cabin. Everyone have a nice Sunday.

Just love this helpful website and nice people!

Hi,

Does anyone know if all the angled 1A cabins have that "tunnel" balcony? I will be on the Reflection next year. I just saw the "tunnel" and read that the cabin was narrow. I can't call my TA to look into it until Tuesday. Celebrity told her the sofa was by the sliding door which I read was not, but that is minor compared to the ugly balcony. They should disclose that info but then probably wouldn't be able to sell that cabin. I have 9292. I love that it is close to elevators but really bummed about the size and balcony. Maybe they changed it on the Reflection? I'm hoping.
