I know this an old thread, but we just did exactly this last week, Orly to EWR. The aircraft was an Air Cairibes livery A350-1000. We had layflat seat, and it was a terrific flight. Cabin crew was great, plane was clean, flight on time. Would totally do this again.
Only caveat is that you have to find the particular aircraft with those seats on the schedule. We flew over to Paris on an A350-900 that did not have those layflats in Premium. it was ok for premium, but would have preferred the layflats on the overnight segment.
I did talk to the purser about it, and he said that there are a handful of those planes that have the layflats in the fleet and they are used intermittently on the US/FR route. If you can find it, its one of the greatest bargain values of all times! It was a $400 upgrade, which is incredible. UA on the same route was $7K
