Thank you - yes it was all soooo true

Elite check-in (with F / J-C / et al) at SFO, even though I think the "baggage drop off" line would have been faster... and we did get the "Priority" stickers on the baggage.

Early boarding, although we got to the gate a bit "late" and were amongst the last stragglers into Premier Voyageur and I feel lucky that we still had a spot for the carry-on bags...

And then the flight attendants "guarded" the exit so that regular Economy PAX had to wait for most PV to exit...

And for CDG Immigration, we went to the Sky Priority lane and showed the BP to a guy who almost didn't seem to have looked at them (as the BPs had the words PV but no big Sky Priority logo)... that was great because our toddler can get fussy in the immigration queue, and it was nice to avoid it. Trade off is we had a short wait for baggage...

But our baggage arrived immediately when the flight's baggage arrived.

Finally I weigh over 200 pounds, and the seat was quite wide and comfortable for me! Better than United Economy Plus for sure.

I'm a convert... I will probably only fly AF when going to Paris...

Merci
Michael
