BOS-CDG Route: Old or New J?
 

For Xmas this year...considering a trip to Paris. Is BOS-CDG-BOS on AF guaranteed new seats?

What about on DL (some people have been saying good things about DL...?)?

What’s the aircraft ?
if B772 or B787 : New J
if B77W, it depends. So when you book on AF website, if new J, you will have a little logo with « design+ » written
if other aircraft : NEV4

Regarding DL, it is certainly a very decent carrier in J, but I don’t like at all their Delta1 seat in the 767 that they are using on many routes ex-CDG including BOS. I prefer the AF NEV4 seat to this one. I know not everyone agree with me about that on this forum, but that’s my opinion ;)

Delta has a decent J product, although there are two planes that have worse J product:
- 757 has smaller and shorter seats (usually flown on transcons between east coast and west coast, but just in case ...), you usually want to avoid these if you can
- 767 has a narrower seat and you may feel a little cramped and as Goldorak says there's an unending debate about whether it's better or worse seat than AF NEV4 (me siding with 767 D1 seat :) ), but unlike NEV4 it's a flat bed and you have an adjacent table (such as if you're using PC etc.)

Delta also has wifi available (haven't flown TATL flight with Delta, but on TPAC I had wifi).

I think CDG-BOS on AF metal would be on the 787, so that'd be the new J product.

so it is ^

I would vote for AF hands-down. I find the DL seat hard and the service/food/etc classless.

Let's not go into NEV4 vs D1 767 again :) , but speaking of the food & service I'd say AF is better than DL in J. Not saying DL J is bad, but I like AF more.
