Air France

Pros: I ordered vegetarian meals, which were excellent. Very attractive crew - handy for taking your mind off the feeling of impending doom. Excellent selection of French wines and champagne ... and you'll need it.
Cons: Safety, service, comfort, punctuality, attitude, pilot skill, professionalism. Not recommended for non-smokers - yes, you can smoke on board!

I write this opinion out of a sense of duty ... if I can save just one of you from experiencing the horror that is Air France, my mind will be a little more at ease.

I have taken 4 plane trips with Air France, or Air 'Farce' as I like to call...

Pros: Comfortable Airbus, polite staff, good price
Cons: wretched "food"

When I last flew to Paris I thought I was a lucky girl for getting such a good deal on Air France. Well, I know now that the service I used to get on Air France has changed dramatically. I was lucky enough to get one of those new airbus planes. Try to...

Pros: Smooth, efficient, elegant flying at an excellent price with pre-tastes of French cuisine.
Cons: On a French plane, you may expect bad reactions if you disrespect French culture.

Looking over my fellow critics' opinions of AIR FRANCE, I was surprised by the number of veteran travelers who put the airline down because a bag was lost at the airport, or on one of nine flights with the line, a person died (inconveniencing the...

Pros: Modern and clean aircraft. Comfortable seats.
Cons: I don't have any.

In my many travels, I have flown on Air France two times, both were one-way flights. I was very impressed with how clean and bright(well lighted) the cabins were.
The flight crew was courteous and professional, the food was above average for airline...

Pros: See above.
Cons: See above.

For a recent trip to France, Air France seemed like a natural choice of an airline. If nothing else, I reasoned, the food should be great.

Well, so much for logic of that sort. I've read in another review of this airline that the food...

Pros: Very french, modern fleet, excellent safety record, good network
Cons: Very french, busy hub, sometimes disorganized, entertainment

Air France is my number one choice should my destination be Paris. However I have done the connect in DeGaulle thing and have learned from my mistake. Here's my review:

SCHEDULE
Air France is the national and largest airline in France so...

Pros: Air France employees try to be helpful.
Cons: The airline is not as efficient as the alternative, TGV high speed trains.

I flew to Paris from Chicago on United, and connected to Air France to fly to Lyon, France. While my flight on United was excellent, my flight on Air France reminded me a little of Chevy Chase's "European Vacation" and "Turbulence".

My eight...

Pros: Good connections, reasonable fares, good food (on selected flight)
Cons: Unpredictable service; you never know what you are going to have

I flew Air France twice and these were very different experiences. It seems that the flights that originate in France are better prepared and the service is overall better. Those originating in the US are unpredictable.

I am not picky and many...

Pros: BEST service, and food
Cons: prices a little steep for students

I’ve been flying Air France for 20 years, and have NEVER been disappointed by their excellent service. I flew as an unaccompanied minor (UM) from the age of 4 to age 12. I was always very well attended to and given special privileges as such. I would...

Pros: Sometimes cheap and convenient flights
Cons: Horrific customer service

In October my wife and I went for a cruise in the Mediterranean. We flew American from Chicago to Paris (great flight) and then Air France from Paris to Barcelona (awful). Mind you, this is the second time that we’ve taken and hated Air France. So...

Pros: none
Cons: bad food; worse service

In the last few years we have flown Air France several times, with less than great
experiences each time; bad food and indifferent service was the norm. On our most
recent trip, we booked on Air France again, because we wanted to stop in...

Pros: Booking flight is fine and reservations people were very helpful.
Cons: Don't get stuck flying them in poor weather.

My first experience flying Air France was a few weeks ago when I was caught in a horrible snowfall in New York (JFK)and counting every minute that my short vacation was getting shorter.

My flight was scheduled to leave at 7:50 and arrive Paris...

Pros: good food, enjoyable, freindly attendants
Cons: can't think of any

I was flying Air France on my way to Greece and I was going to transfer in France. The ten hour flight would have been horrible if I wasn't on a great airline. The attendants were very hospitable and there was plenty of seating room, even in coach. I...

Pros: Food and beverages - business class
Cons: None to note

What an outstanding operation !

Being a flight attendant, I have not only the opportunity to make airline experiences pleasurable, but I can also live them on a normal basis during my non-revenue travels. I've recently began a relationship...

Pros: Good food, better-than-US-airlines service
Cons: Service not THAT great when compared with other European airlines

We flew on Air France a couple of months ago when traveling from D.C. to Portugal to visit my husband's family. We were flying in mid-February, which is the least busy time for flights to Europe. Having done the same last year, albeit on a different...
