This report will take you on a sunny day from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport to Paris Charles De Gaulle airport. While reading this report, you will understand the meaning of having an intercontinental breakfast served over 38,000 feet
This is my first leg (BEY-CDG), where i had wrote a review on flying MEA's newer A321NEO in the following review

After a rainy night at Beirut, the sky was just getting clear blue and it was a great time for some spotting :)
Enjoy few pics showing MEA's A321 that will return me back to BEY as ME230, plus some photos pre-takeoff
As we are preparing for taking-off, safety instructions were played, and we enjoyed a lovely city-escape view as the Rolls-Royce Trent climbed the A332 effortlessly
Soon it was the time for the warm intercontinental breakfast, the table was set and the appetizers tray was placed. The appetizers consisted of the following:
- Cold Cheese Plate
- Honey jar
- Marmalade jar & butter
- Pita Bread
- Lebanese famous labneh (yogurt)
- Fresh Fruits
All of these served with metal cutlery

Soon afterwards, the cabin crew came with the bread-basket service that contained freshly warmed croissants and breads:
Fresh Lebanese Fruits:
After clearing all of this tray, it was the time for the hot entree. There were a choice of two main entrees:
- Lebanese Cheese Knefeh served with sweet syrup and crashed pistachio
- Cheese omelet served with potato wedges and beef sausages
I opted for the cheese omelet:
It was fantastic, and was washed away by an americano coffee
We were cruising at FL380 as we enjoyed these awesome views:
A french - espresso with a lotus was offered to awaken me:
Soon we were approaching and landing at Paris-CDG where the landing was supper smooth:
As we were taxing to the gate, I really admired the view of the Airbus A350 with Air France Livery:
