Hi,

Being on transfer I visited the Air France Lounge at Terminal 2E - K gates pier. The lounge is set on different floors and offers multiple different seating areas.

In my opinion the atmosphere is somehow cramped and dark because of the low ceilings and only few windows/daylight.

Some views on the buffet.





On the way to my boarding gate. It was hard to make a good shot of my plane this night.

Boarding started on time and I entered the nice looking cabin.

Taking my window seat. The seat is comfortable and offers enough stowage and privacy etc.

It is the older product of AF on the A350 but still nice in my opinion.

The very friendly crew offered welcome drinks followed by hot towels on the ground.

Next menus were distributed.

Followed by nice amenity kits with a good content.

We left the gate with a short delay and main meal orders were still take on the ground.

Climbing into the dark night for this  very long 14 hours 20 minutes flight to Chile.

Soon we reached cruising altitude and a relaxed supper service started with champagne and crackers offered on trays.

Next the starter/cheese/dessert tray was distributed - this is the concept of the faster supper service on such late night departures of Air France.

The friendly crew offered drinks multiple times.

Next the very tasty main course was served.

Finishing with some tea and chocolates.

The seat offers a very comfortable sleeping position - better than many competitor seats in my opinion. So I managed to get a good sleep of ca. 7 hours.


Great sunrise over the Andes started the next morning.

Breakfast was served ca. 1 hour 15 minutes before landing and it also was very tasty.

Hot towels were offered just before landing.

We touched down with a slight delay.
