AF amenity kit SVO-CDG?
does anyone know if Air France offers an amenity kit on a Moscow-Paris flight in business class?
I'm looking to change to an Aeroflot flight but still no award seat available, so i might be stuck on Air France... bleh!
Thanks!

Yes, a delicious light meal with duck if I remember correctly. Miles better than Aeroflot and the service too, I would imagine (only flew SV in Y so cannot be sure). However the seats on Aeroflot would be more comfortable.

the C seats on SU (SV is Saudia!) are vastly superior: like some of the better US domestic F vs AF which uses the standard European seats with convertible middle seat. Good on SU in C is also quite good, typically a notch above AF. Their Y food is ghastly though.

The alphabet soup of airline codes confuses me sometimes! So, the food on SU in J is better than AF? Surprising, when you consider what is offered in the miserable little lounge in Moscow. 😊

I flew CDG OTP on AF C 2 months ago. I was the only once in C so instead of choosing between the 2 main course options (Paleron de veau/veal slow cooked meat, filet de cabillaud/cod filet), I tried them both 
Both were excellent and tasty and not try, long haul J level although the presentation is still european C. It was better (to my taste) than some of the F meals I had on AF 7-8 years ago (when it was cheap but average) or other airlines. SVO should get at least the same level of quality as OTP.
The few times I flew SU European C, it was also excellent food, service and seat. I would try to take SU rather than AF just for the seat, for the rest it should be somehow similar.

honestly you guys when i fly LAX-CDG i do Turkish Airlines #1, then Swiss #2, then Lufthansa #3. of course because im TK*G..
so what i mean by that is that a flight from IST to Europe is really nice in business on their 737 (2-2) and excellent food..! not even mentioning the lounge in Istanbul...
i just stepped into the unknown with booking thru Skyteam (Korean Air) a mix of AF, SU and KLM C class.
that said i have a feeling that SU C class will be just second best after TK, but so much better than Air France... those fake business class seats are just a shame for Airlines such as Air France who claim to be top-notch upscale.. hello? AF still cant do a full flat seat on a LAX-CDG flight?? (as far as i know..)

None of the competing airlines offer lie-flat business class seats.
Therefore, AF can make better use of lie-flat seats on routes with real competition.
This has nothing to do with CDG-SVO, by the way. (I don't see why an amenity kit is the dealbreaker here, though)

of course an amenity kit is not a deal breaker, I was just curious what AF is offering compared to SU but the seats do make a difference, let's say on a flight more than 2-3 hours... In the end it seems SU offers a lot more comfort than AF on this route. that's it. agreed?
