Hi
Here is the report of my day trip to Paris , as i was in roadrunner mode.
Only 7 hours between landing and take off of the next flight
First i thought about AZ and FCO , but it was too expensive , after a good brainstorming and some simulations with ITA and google flights , i finally managed to get two one way tickets instead of one single booking , and paid 110€ instead of 300€ minimum
Ok , let's get ready to rumble

AF1247 : waw-cdg : here
AF1046 : cdg-waw : http://flight-report.com/en/report/20939/Air-France-AF1046-Paris-CDG-Warsaw-WAW
————
Leaving home at 5.30am
Let's check the useful infos
Everything seems ok , so i can go without stress
15 minutes later i'am again in Chopin
After my flights to KBP and TXL , i can return to the sector C for checkin to Air France
I'am a little bit late , but its empty as everybody cam before me
Nothing to say about security , its quite calm now , as the real traffic starts at 8 o'clock
Airside , now on my way to gate 30
Here is our plane
Then i can join the priority boarding lane
The other side
Baording started 10 minutes late , i received the new sticker for my backpack "put under your seat" , thanks to the wonderful idea of asking pax to pay for the first checked luggage , now boardings are delayed cause of overhead bins are full
Let's check the french press of today (seems that its from the previous week)
First surprise , today we will have the new cabins Best&Beyond
Slow slow boarding , and the usual questions/issues ''where can i put my luggage ??''
As expected we missed our slow and need to wait 25 minutes more
Meanwhile the a319 of AB to TXL left and now is a e175 of LO , he came from GDN
and will fly to MXP
Here are the safety instructions , weather and travel docs
Finally we start taxing
Take off , we are delayed by 40 minutes , as the same flight did the day before (this 30 minutes delay seems to be a standard for AF flights to/from Warsaw)
Weather is ugly , like every time over Warsaw
First layer of clouds , few turbulences
….. then the second.
…… the 3rd and last one
…. and finally we can reach the sky
Ok lets go back inside and read the AF magazine of this month
That's my new Facebook friend (i tried to get miles from him , but he wasn't that nice with me)
I received my breakfast . You cant imagine how i miss the food with TK , even a domestic flight with them you can receive better food/drinks
Horatius test successful
I like the leather , however they should paint the planes cause its not in harmony with the seats
Since October , AF launched an application called Air France press , you ca download newspapers movies and music , up to 30 hours before your flight and enjoy it on your smartphone/tablet for free
If you have a status , elite or elite+ , you can download as much as you want
Because of the size of movies i would recommend to have a good external storage
Also choice is very limited for non-french speakers
One good point , the choice of foreign newspapers
Moreover the idea is good , if they keep adding content it will be awesome
Very cloudy today over Paris , we started our descent to roissy
We are land….. and no , we are going back to the clouds and have to wait little bit more.
10 minutes of stand-by and we are done
Landing quite rude , i hope the captain and his crew enjoyed the cheers/applause from the paxs
Can't see further than 50 meters , first time of my life that i experience something like this
Finally it wasn't really the best day to come to Paris
Exit , we are in terminal 2f , arrival section
Someone forget his luggage at the delivery , so all area is blocked , and they closed the door just when i arrived
15 minutes later we can finally leave
In the end i left airport 1h30 later than what was planned , but i'am here and my luggage too that's the most important
Bye
