After a visit to the lounge, I’m off to board my next flight to Paris.
As a reminder, here is the itinerary followed:
| # | Type | Review |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lounge | Lounge No1 Lounge, Londres Heathrow T3 |
| 2 | Flight | Air France Business, Airbus A320, London Heathrow – Paris Charles-de-Gaulle |
| 3 | Hotel | The Westin Paris |
| 4 | Train | Eurostar E350, Standard Premier, Paris Gare du Nord à London St. Pancras |
Boarding
The boarding gate is located relatively far from the lounge, about 200m from it. Boarding is a bit chaotic, and priorities are not respected at the gate.
However, as I arrive relatively late in the boarding process, I’ll be able to board straight away. No specific checks are carried out other than proof of vaccination.
Cabin and welcome
As always with Air France, the welcome is relatively cold, and I immediately go to my seat as it’s in the front row.
The cabin is the usual Smart&Beyond found on all Air France medium-haul aircraft apart from the A318 and the domestic fleet.
Service and catering
On this flight, service will be nil. No, not bad quality, just no service. And all this supposedly because of the pandemic. Nevertheless, the flight attendant took pity on me and served me an instant coffee in a paper cup.
That’s the French art of living. On the other hand, if it’s a problem to serve benefits, it’s no problem to serve and handle totally useless information sheets handed out to passengers, which I’m now starting to fill in humorously.
Arrival and disembarkation
Arrival will be on time, but the wait at immigration will be incredibly long, arriving in the morning arrival bank.
Fortunately, I manage to make my way to the automated checkpoint reserved for vaccinated EU citizens.
Bottom line
A flight with pathetic service. One of my last experiences on Air France to London for a long, long time.
