Connection circuit
From terminal 2F to terminal 2E, the connections circuit was very easy, but the most complicated part was avoiding the queue to get into the actual connections circuit and not be in the Arrivals circuit.
From terminal 2F, simply take a walkway across the Arrivals area to a Schengen exit immigration booth.
I’ll get through this checkpoint in a minute, and I’ll be airside straight away. There’s no need to go through a security checkpoint when connecting with an arrival from the Schengen area.
I’ll quickly pop into the lounge for a glass of champagne before my flight.
Boarding
Today, my flight departs from peninsula K of terminal 2E, and I quickly make my way to the gate once boarding begins.
By the time I arrive at the gate, most of the flight has already boarded and I can immediately access the SkyPriority queue, where my documents are once again checked, despite the check-in already carried out in Caen.
Cabin and welcome
The welcome is quite ordinary. I go straight to my seat, 05A, located at the end of the Business cabin, which today has 6 rows.
There’s nothing to say about the seat, which is the Smart & Beyond seat deployed on the Air France medium-haul network over the past 7 years or so.
Service and catering
And here I thoughts catering would be back… Well, no, nothing! Not even a bottle of water! A disgrace that will make me stop flying Air France to Paris.
Arrival and disembarkation
We disembark on time, and immigration, for once, will be fairly straightforward.
Bottom line
Can we call this a business-class flight? Apart from the blocked middle seat, there’s absolutely no advantage if you’re already a member of the airline loyalty program. It’s a shame!
