The fact that I really love aviation makes me end up loving every flight though, once I found myself feeling happy for a 7 hour delay on my IAD-GRU flight which allowed for more spotting time at the airport

Nah, you made the right choice. As you say, the KL 77W is equally bad in terms of hard product, and the soft product is better on AF, with typically better food, Champagne (which should help you fall asleep

) and broader film selection.
