the safety video is impossibly French. As you’d wish.

I can’t be the only one that doesn’t automatically think Air France when reading “AF”. Am I? 

NO!!! I keep stumbling over that acronym too!

Does he need someone to keep him company while you're gone? 🥵

Unfortunately, his girlfriend is probably Funsince2003😮😎

Probably. I'm old enough to be his mom. 😭

So get a load of this…. We are checking in and getting ready to drop our bag, when an Air France employee tells us that this is a full flight…. We’ll have to check our carry on as well, free of charge. This seems crazy, because we are here three hours early and no other airline I’ve ever experienced does it that way. Also, it would completely blow up our entire packing plan and loss prevention system. Then we see multiple other people arguing the same thing. It’s a thing. Crap. 
 

So we move an AirTag into our essentials carry on, B tries to argue to no avail, being told that “the overhead space on a full flight is for those with kids.” Ouch. 
 

So we check everything. I dump my glasses in B’s backpack. We have an hour and a half connection in Venice. We’re completely raw dogging this thing. Again. 
 

Also, the AF app has a bag tracker. Shows we checked three bags. We checked two. #holdontight

 

You'd think they make them buy seats for the kids. Stuffing them in the overhead might make the flight more pleasant though.

I mean if they don’t sleep on the AF flight, they’ll be tired AF. JS!

MADE IT

[TxTeach79]

Spoiler alert: there wasn’t. It didn’t work, at least. 
 

[TxTeach79]

Tried plugging in in all these places too. None had power. In our whole row. Had to shut the phone off. 
 

 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Saw early on we’d be getting in a little early, which is nice. So was this #moist towelette

 

 

this was a less nice dose of reality

 

 

[TxTeach79]

My dad’s name was Al, and I enjoy a good casino. Killed some time here. 
 

 

[TxTeach79]

Meal came quickly - we both went with the pasta. 
 

 

I had a red, b stuck with white 

 

[TxTeach79]

Ahhhh classic French cheese from… Wisconsin. (The flight attendant said food is way better flying FROM France. He’s also biased.)

 

[TxTeach79]

After dinner, passed out cognac or this pear liqueur 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Breakfast - a baguette, a really good quiche, fruit salad, OJ, and….. strawberry milk (gag)

 

[TxTeach79]

We aren’t quite on there. We are just after that window. 
 

 

Time to land

 

[TxTeach79]

Look, don’t tease me. I know it’s not gonna happen. 🤞 

 

[TxTeach79]

Off we go!

 

[TxTeach79]

The rare glass jetway. Lots of morning sun in Paris. Never mind my Texan body clock. 
 

 

yes, that’s our plane. And yes, this is the same shirt I wore in Barcelona for three days last summer. Shut up. Don’t.

Back in a moment - this airport is atrocious
