The flights are cheap, but they nickel and dime you for everything. And the seat pockets are TINY. The board from the back, which seems more efficient, but if you pay to sit up front and you board last, your chances of getting space in the overhead bin are decreased. That said, I did get space in the bin this time, so that made me happy. When booking my ticket, I paid extra to check a bag, select my seat and have food. The food was pretty salty. The only beverage with my meal was a paper cup of water - I would have had to buy a beverage separately. Fortunately, I bought a huge bottle of water at the airport and just drank that.

I got a very good price on this flight which made me very happy! I arrived in France, which was also good! The seats (and seat pockets) were small so I don’t know if a very large person could be comfortable — I bought seats in the cheapest zone so I’m sure that was a factor) The crew were all fine, except one flight attendant had some pretty strong body odor, which I noticed every time he walked past me. That wasn’t great. (Fortunately, he didn’t walk past me very many times!) Anyway, if you need to save some money, the French Bee flight from LAX international to Orly airport in Paris is a good bet! Just be prepared to pay for every single thing, including food, and bring your own snacks!)
L’équipe a été super serviable avec mon enfant de 11 mois. Un petit cadeau l attendait dans l avion, petits pots etc…
Went in with low expectations based on other reviews/the fact that this is a budget airline, but I was pleasantly surprised! Everything went smoothly, seats were comfortable, food was not bad for airplane food, and of course the price of the flight was fantastic. The only real negatives I can think of are that the plane is a bit on the older side (think 2012-ish era planes, not a huge deal), wifi is a bit expensive, and the movie catalog is mediocre. But that is to be expected on a budget airline (I was honestly surprised they had free movies). I would definitely fly again.
No organization when it came to checking in and boarding. If you have diet restrictions make sure to plan ahead.
I did not get my baggage at my final destination..poor coordination with connecting flights with partner airlines (Saudi airways). Also the food was very mediocre.
Not great , just ok . I expected better food but it did not deliver . Flight staff was ok . The guy at the drop off bag counter was the only saving grace in this whole trip . He was pleasant, friendly and very helpful . You couldn’t ask for a better assistance from him .
Boarding was a disaster being moved by Air France by bus to the plane. The plane should have been at the right gate.
Extremely poor. First - and oddly enough, Air France denied access to the Business Class lounge at CDG to all of us - although we were all flying Business Class. It is amazing that an airline denies lounge access to its passengers flying on business and paying several thousand dollars each ticket. Second, the food on Business Class on absolutely horrible. Air France must have made an effort to prepare bad tasting dishes (not even the ice cream was good). Third, the cabin temperature was too hot and although we complained many times, it never got cooler.
They again did not offer any functioning WiFi in the transatlantic crossing.
The first half from DC to Paris was very good and the staff were very helpful and humble BUT flight from Paris to Mumbai was sad. 1) it was packed. 2) no space on head compartment 3) crews were unresponsive to the calls 4) one crew member literally banged the bottle of water after giving me glass of water. A little water splashed on me and she was unapologetic 5) with so many hours of flight, little leg space should be taken care else don’t fill your airline till brim which affects your crew and they remove anger on us. 6) huge line for washrooms. 7) 2nd half journey was pathetic
Good. Food items are ok but not really healthy (no protein for the vegetarian option, just a total of 2 gr total) so not fulfilling. Also, no airline is educating passengers to behave and have common sense: let the one sitting by the window pass first, leave toilets clean after use, etc. Humanity is just getting rude and more disgusting by the day and without education or enforced common sense no
My only issue was my meal was inedible except for the sides.
The check in was horrible. I stood in line for 1 hour to check in with an Air France ticket. Then I was told I had to go to Delta counter onstead to check in instead. It made no sense.
Old cabine without flat bed in business for a 12 hour flight is not acceptable
