I should also add that you should look at the AF 773 : if it's the configuration with 58 J seats, you'll definitely prefer the A330: somehow smaller cabins provide better service. Either way, there's no escaping the mobile lounges on arrival. Be sure to wear a mask to cut down on the diesel particulates inhaled.
