- No magazines and menus; instead they read the choices to every passenger
- Meal served as a single tray with starter, salad, dessert and cheese. Hot main course then arrives, replacing the starter.
- I was offered a beverage 2x on the whole 10hr flight: once with the meal tray and then a refill with the main course. Have to go to the galley for anything else.
- No second meal before landing (which is problematic if you have a layover and connection as everything at CDG is closed)
- Business class toilets not stocked with anything except toilet paper (a luxury in today’s world), soap and paper towels
You were in business class? If so, I guess there isn't a reason to fly in biz. I'm thinking of taking JFK-CDG so I guess I would not care so much about the meal. And I think the lounge is open at JFK still, right?
