Air France Business Class to Cairo

Since our flight departed from a nearby gate virtually adjacent to the lounge, we decided to walk. Down the elevator to the concourse and a minute later we were at Gate K47.  

After a final doc check, Angelique escorted to the plane and introduced us to our crew.   Sadly, this 77W was an old crock of a plane with no La Première cabin... and terrible 2-3-2 angled flat seats.  We opted for the last middle and lucked out as we had to only empty Business Class seat between us. 

Tonight's dinner menu

Pretty impressive for a 4 hour Business Class flight.

Pre departure beverage options of champagne, orange juice or water. 

After take-off, it looked like we were served drinks before the rest of the cabin.

Our excellent starter tray setting.

For my main, I went with the Beef Tournedos, with macaire potato patties, roasted beets and smoked jus.

This was really good.

Dessert was a wow... Yuzu macaron by Philippe Urraca, Opera cake, Paris-Brest cake, with a bonus sorbet cup.

Sadly, no La Première escort on arrival, so we were on our own.

In line for our $25 Visa on Arrival.

Five minutes later, we were thru customs.

Since non-passengers are not permitted in the terminal, everyone waits behind the fence across the street, where we met Assen, our driver for the next 48 hours.
