Join me as I wrap up my recent US trip with a very lovely flight onboard Air France’s A220 in Euro-business class. I’m pretty sure I’ve found the best possible version of Euro Biz out there (that’s economy seats with the middle blocked and an elevated soft product, standard across Europe.) Is this indeed the best Euro Biz out there, and what makes it so? I’ll show you the lounge at Paris CDG, boarding, taxi and takeoff, the light meal and champagne service, and give you the complete rundown. Cap it off with a pretty landing back in Sweden in the dying October light.
Note: yes, Turkish Airlines mostly has a much better seat on regional flights and is technically based in Europe, but you can’t really fly around Europe with Turkish without going well out of your way, so they’re excluded from this comparison 🙂.
