Off to Paris and Athens

Air France Denver-Paris inaugural, CDG La Première Lounge and Lufthansa First Class back home all in 48 hours

With our move back to Denver came the exciting news that Air France was starting the first ever Denver-Paris nonstop.  Although Mrs. SFO777 was not the least bit impressed when she found out that it was Business Class only with no La Première.  But for me, even with no La Première cabin, I was determined to be on the inaugural flight especially since recent La Premiere passengers are able to purchase the full CDG La Première Ground package.  

My DFW-based friend DFW-CK agreed to join me on this 48 hours whirlwind trip.  He arrived from DFW around 2pm and we met at the new Air France counter at 2:30p for check-in and doc check.  Our amiable French-for-the-day DEN agent was happy to pose for a pic.  We had booked early and only paid 53,000 Flying Blue miles for the full Denver-Paris-Athens itinerary.

From check-in, we cleared security and hopped on the train to the C concourse and the Amex Centurion Lounge.    

Very nice afternoon food options...

The pasta dish was delicious.
