I remember the first time I flew business class in Europe on Lufthansa (which was long after I'd flown biz elsewhere) I stepped into the "business class" cabin which was much like this and I actually said "what the ****?"

Who the hell thought of calling an economy class seat business class?

If you fly even premium economy on any of the longhaul airlines, such as Cathay Pacific, their premium ECONOMY seat is a wonderful utopian example of hitherto unheard of levels of comfort and luxury and space compared to this intra-Europe "business class" joke.

Nice report btw, it is just the seats which are hopeless!
Agreed, you know it is bad when Spirit Air, the ULCC, has better business class seats for domestic US service than Air France has for domestic Europe service.

Enjoy Tuscany, it's the most beautiful region of the most beautiful country!
Thanks! Tuscany was awesome, can't wait to make it back over there.

The snack looks a bit light in protein, you shpuld have asked for the roast beef baguette as well.
I'm still trying to figure out what disqualified us from getting the seemingly better snack? Must have been profiling!
