Self check in and self drop but the BLS was not working well and it was a nightmare. Thanks to the ground staff who help us very nicely

Boarding. Plane was fully booked especially due to the start of the war in Iran. Many passengers from Emirates / Qatar / Etihad was there going back to Europ. Again the ground staff was very nice and efficient.

Conclusion

Check-in was somewhat complicated due to the self-service kiosks not being fully operational.
The boarding and duty-free areas were rather unremarkable.
The crew, especially the Japanese flight attendants, were excellent.
There was a view of Mount Fuji at departure and the Eiffel Tower upon arrival. In between, there was a light meal and plenty of time to rest.
The Boeing 787 is an outstanding aircraft—it's unfortunate that it is somewhat underappreciated within the Air France fleet.
