Air France New La Première Suite

Air France La Première from New York to Paris

What a treat today to experience the brand new Air France La Première suite from New York to Paris. Stunning new cabin with the longest suites in the sky including 5 windows, a seat and a sofa that converts to a proper oh-so-comfy bed, 2 TV monitors and an intuitive electronic pad to control every function in the suite. Wonderful Air France cabin service as always with great food and wines on todays' all too short 6.5 hours flight.  What a wonderful and elegant new cabin. Bravo Air France.

At around T-45, my personal assistant came to retrieve me and, at my request, board me before anyone else so I could take pics without disturbing the other passengers.

Wow, wow.  This is like Christmas morning.  

Love the old cabin but this is a gorgeous upgrade, yet stil maintaining the Air France elegance and style.

The new control tablet is a winner.  Well designed and very responsive...

And my selection for the flight.

Nice welcome note.

Bizarre that Air France doesn't service alcohol at the gate, perhaps to save taxes.  That's a little cheap.  But once the door was closed and we were still at the gate, I was offered a glass of Rare.

Today's menu...

And wine list, although after the champagne, nothing very exciting or remotely close to Emirates First Class.

After take-off, I moved over to the comfy sofa to relax.

My Belle Epoque aperatif with a few snacks.

Then back to my seat for dinner.   Showtime: La Première style.  And my delicious Lobster salad starter.

The Talbot Bordeaux was quite pleasant.

Braised beef cheek and lamb chop.  Fabulous.

After dinner, time for bed to try to get a few hours sleep before our CDG arrival.

After maybe 3 hours sleep, the cabin is prepped for landing.

Cool nose cam of our landing, although not very HD,

On arrival, La Première assistants greeted us all at the door and escorted us downstaire where 3 Porches were waiting to transport us to the La Première Lounge or immigration.

What a wonderful flight and such a treat to experience the fabulous new La Première cabin.  Bravo Air France.
