It's just the foie gras terrine that I hated. I love a pan-seared slice of it but once it's made into pate it just tastes terrible.
Thanks! Yes, the seat really is great. Service sucks though. Unless maybe you speak French

I'm quite new to premium travel (have only flown MH J, now AF J, though I do have an upcoming SQ F award) so perhaps my standards are lower. The food does look unappetizing but the mains and dessert taste wise wasn't too bad (for airplane food).

If you get a flight with "La Mere Poularde" branded Lemon Sables make sure you take a few boxes - they're delicious (IMO the best tasting cookies of the assortment that AF provides).

Thanks for the report.
Is this now the configuration on all the AF SIN-CDG flights? I see 772s listed on some routes, at least according to Delta/Seatguru...
UPDATE: https://www.agentconnect.biz/FR/fr/l...f/BEST_AGV.pdf would seem to indicate BEST on the 772s, as well...

Fabulous trip report. Love all the photos.
I have been watching X-Ray Mega Airport and on one of the episodes, the food service department at Lufthansa said the same food doesn't taste as good at high altitudes as on the ground, so they have to use a lot of spices, salt and sugar so passengers think the food is good. They also said more and more people are ordering tomato juice as their drink of choice in the air. Who knew?
