The space is split in half which reduces sleep comfort and freedom to move feet massively. Air France fly out of Terminal 4 at Heathrow. We departed on time and almost as soon as the seatbelt sign was off the crew came round with a wet wipe packet and a menu, introduced themselves and told us to let them know if we needed anything. Flight in Economy Boeing 787-9. There were self-service check-in and luggage tag machines that nobody seemed to be using. Also at the gate area was a staff member equipped with swabs and an explosives-trace-detection machine.With all of these ‘hurdles’, I didn’t really have time to enjoy any of the lounges I had access to.
Therefore, you will need to ‘un-button’ a curtain and go forward into business class or back into economy for the toilet.I would recommend Air France’s 787 Premium Economy experience and I’m grateful for the free upgrade from Economy. Good video in front of each seat.
At 2200, just under an hour after take-off, they brought round drinks and a bag of pretzel-style breadsticks. There’s no way around it: Economy on AF’s 777-200ERs is a tight squeeze. Since it was early evening I wasn’t groggy, and I had checked in my main bag at Heathrow. 3 Jul 2019 by Jenni Reid. Be in the know.We use ads to keep our content free. Again, I feel like they didn’t disappoint. However it was good for the way back, when I wanted a short snooze but was mainly keeping myself occupied. The seats are (38 inches) 97cm long and 48cm (19inch) wide.
A chocolate muffin, orange juice and Greek yoghurt were brought round an hour before landing, as well as hot drinks.We landed in Nairobi a little ahead of schedule, at 0555. The cabin crew told me my new gate number while I was on the plane, and it was about fifteen minutes’ walk from the aircraft, plus five minutes to get through a security screening. That meant that since I had priority boarding I managed to walk off one plane onto the next almost without breaking my stride. I arrived early at Heathrow Terminal 4 for my 1735 flight. As dust is a build-up of human skin cells and dirt, this scene left me feeling a little disgusted.I assume it’s not feasible to wipe this down after every flight but I really hope this gets done once in a while!In conclusion, I enjoyed this flight. However everything else was tasty. However what worked perfectly for me would obviously be a nightmare if the first flight was delayed.I should also note that the transfer was significantly less enjoyable on my return.
However I have to admit that I didn’t try these options because I didn’t urgently need internet and I generally find in-flight wifi more trouble than it’s worth. I’m not saying basic is bad – but flying one month apart, you can see an inconsistency in the product.Air France has a reputation for good food. Waiting in our sectioned-off gate area, I was called to a desk. The configuration and seats in Air France’s Premium Economy This time we fly with a Boeing 777-300 and in the Premium Economy are only 3 rows with a configuration 2-4-2. It’s nice to see my SkyTeam/Flying Blue loyalty and status recognized. The salmon had potential but was too cold, with parts of it still icy. Maybe the experience was different for those who paid?I don’t know how many people notice this. I tired calling their office, but they close at 20:00, and they do not have an emergency contact number!This is the version of our website addressed to speakers of This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.Review tags are currently only available for English language reviews.This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.Honeymoon Disaster!!!!!! On my flight it was only half full, so I had a spare seat next to me. It also features an impressive 130 degree recline within a fixed shell, plus adjustable …
The seat is stylish and comfortable, and the fixed-shell recline is a particular bonus. The seat has limited space in the foot rest area below the front seat due to the seat mount being placed in the middle of the foot rest space. Plane chicken is just too unpredictable, in my opinion. This wasn’t too bad for a 7.8-hour flight and I was able to continue a few conversations on WhatsApp.However, if I had paid for the better service and had important business to take care of, this would be unacceptable. Review: Air Tahiti Nui 787-9 Premium Economy. The airline has been offering premium economy since 2009, and it is now available across its long-haul fleet. We were given a voucher to trial the service, which was new at the time.On this flight, I was pleased to learn that there was a free option which offered basic connectivity for messaging apps like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. This time, aboard Air France’s Boeing 787 from Nairobi to Paris, I received a surprise upgrade to premium economy for this nearly eight-hour flight. Background . There were long line-ups for security getting into the terminal, huge line-ups for checking-in to various Kenya Airways flights, long line-ups at customs, and then the biggest line-ups were found at pre-flight security heading towards the gates.The ID and document checks for this flight were fairly rigorous.
