Wine in Bordeaux, Shopping in Paris via spectacular Air France 77W La Première

Mrs. SFO777 and I are off today for a week in France, 3 nights in Bordeaux and 3 nights in Paris. And we're both happy to be far away from American and back on the amazing Air France 77W, La Première service today from LAX. Lots of Saturday traffic on the 405 as it took nearly 90 minutes from southern OC. We arrived at TBIT two hours before scheduled departure.





There was hardly anyone at the Air France counters. Not sure why the La Première lane was roped off though. Painless check-in and our personalized Air France First Class service began, with our own La Première escort to security and then to the Qantas First Class Lounge. Air France apparently used to use the Korean First Class Lounge but the new deal with Qantas is a major improvement.















































Today's lounge menu.



We ordered the Croque monsieur and Korean tacos. Both were pretty institutional and we had a little of each to tide us over until the real deal.







The Qantas lounge at LAX is very nice, but not the wow that others seem to think it is.
