The newer A350 business cabin on an overnight Atlantic crossing.

Toronto → Paris

Toronto · Toronto Pearson (YYZ) → Paris · Charles de Gaulle (CDG)

A look back at Air France’s original A350 business-class cabin.

New York → Paris

New York · John F. Kennedy (JFK) → Paris · Charles de Gaulle (CDG)

A flight in bulkhead suite 10L, whose larger footwell should not be assumed for every seat. Also useful for the JFK lounge detour and the limited sleep on a short overnight crossing.

Dublin → Paris

Dublin · Dublin Airport (DUB) → Paris · Charles de Gaulle (CDG)

The European connection before a San Francisco flight: seat 1A, a blocked middle seat and a cold meal. Helpful for distinguishing short-haul Business from the long-haul bed on a connecting ticket.

Johannesburg → Paris

Johannesburg · O. R. Tambo (JNB) → Paris · Charles de Gaulle (CDG)

The author flies overnight in bulkhead seat 9A. Photographs of the suite, storage and sleeping setup help explain why the front row can feel different from the standard seats in the same cabin.

Paris → Johannesburg

Paris · Charles de Gaulle (CDG) → Johannesburg · O. R. Tambo (JNB)

Paris–Johannesburg in Air France’s refurbished door-equipped cabin. The review focuses on 4L, seat padding, the footwell, storage and entertainment, and explains which rows offer more space.

Paris → Mexico City

Paris · Charles de Gaulle (CDG) → Mexico City · Mexico City International (MEX)

Paris–Mexico City in seat 14A, following a Barcelona connection. The long-haul cabin offers direct aisle access but feels tired to the reviewer, who also describes an impersonal welcome and the subsequent meal service.

Dubai → Paris

Dubai · Dubai International (DXB) → Paris · Charles de Gaulle (CDG)

Dubai–Paris in seat 5A. A comfortable footwell and attentive meal service impress the reviewer, who describes the reverse-herringbone seat, French wines and the absence of working Wi-Fi.
