FRA-CDG in Affaires: Checked in online the night before and went straight to the AF lounge in FRA, which is like most of the AF outstation lounges nothing to write home about, but nice enough to relax for ½ hr before boarding the flight.

AF boards most flights these days through bus @ FRA, which is a bit annoying, but not too big of a complaint. On board were 4 pax in Affaires and nobody in Tempo Challenge, but the FA moved two folks up into row 4 … typical AF stuff
The flight was moderately annoying like most AF flights these days and the FA spent more time stuffing unneeded Affaires food into her bag than looking after the pax … not a good start, but this is what I came to expect when flying AF. Landing in CDG was first supposed to give us a real gate, but after some waiting they moved us to a remote parking spot. I started to worry whether the F pick-up service would work under these circumstances (if at all).
