Review of Air France flight from Paris to Bordeaux in Business

bonjour bordeaux!

Here the second part of my journey, I previously left you at CDG arrivals coming from Lyon. 

Flying blue Miles earned with this flight: 1080
Status earned: 6 XP 

The Air France app is well desgined, and you can have your boarding pass at hand.

Time for the cabin map insant! 

at paris - charles de gaulle airport

I arrived from the previous flight on the eastern building of the 2F terminal. I walked to the other building, the western one to reach the lounge.

View on the AF head quarters and 2D terminal.

AT THE 2F AIR FRANCE LOUNGE

The access to the lounge is via a small staircase/ escalator - not the fanciest entrance but does the job.

The lounge is split into two floors, both of them featuring a buffet and seating areas. 

I usually stay on the first floor.

These lounges are a bit small - rather there is a lot of people. I am looking forward for the new F lounge.

There wasn't any food on the previous flight so I decided to go for a full menu - sod it!

Let's start with the rehydratation process. 

I am not a wine connoisseur, rather I try to drink so I know a bit what I like. Usually Air France does select a nice wine list but Cave de Tain is really not the best value for money, and especially not for Saint-Joseph.

Do you see how with age now it is better to balance a glass of wine with a glass of water? Are you the same too?

And unlike @pititom I have a sweet tooth, so I could try desserts all the day long!

onboard the a318

After just half an hour, I went to my gate, where the skyteam elite priorities were respected.

Aircraft: Airbus A318-111
Registration: F-GUGA
Engines: 2x CFM56
Age: 17 Years
Layout: Y131 
Observation: some really shiny engine edges!!

It is like a mirror you could see the plane on it! 

We taxied for some time to go - as usual to runway 08L.

And take off!

Hello 2A and B

Rotate!

take off!

Look at this beautiful view on the 2E terminal buildings: hall K, L and M! 

most of the cruise was over some really cloudy skies..

Luckily we had this superb mirror effect on the engine!! 

And just like on the first flight, here was the time of the complimentary business class meal service.

Air France pays here a true tribute to the elegance a la Francaise and Savoir de vivre a la Francaise.. or is it? 

Not even alcool was offered can you imagine? 

When a joke isn't funny what is it? a provocation? 

I am still very upset about this.

Blue sky now and mirror effect! 

There are still no paper magasines on board and so I read it on the app. 

You can tell how much more Transavia network covers now, even including domestic routes (look at Brest for example)

and the fleet.. Rationalised Ben Smith said… 

Did you notice that back in march the first B777-200ER already left the fleet? The count is down to 21 now.

Ready for touch down?

at bordeaux - merignac airport

We left the aircraft at the usual Air France terminal and jumped into our recurrent and beloved Taxi driver…

And hello beautiful Bordeaux!
