JFK - CDG L'Espace Affaires flight AF 9
I am considering this late 10:55 pm flight in Sept as the late hour will allow full days work prior. Plan travel in business. But does late takeoff alter meals and other services? Also would appreciate best seat recommendations as I can't find indication whether this 747 is 2 or 3 class aircraft
Thank you
Thank you

The 22:50 flight departing from Montreal offers the same full dinner as earlier departing flights, plus a light breakfast before arrival. It should be the same for flights departing from JFK. On business class you can usually expect an edible meal with foie gras appetizer and decent wines/champagne.

"Accelerated service" means that you get the cheese plate on the tray with your appetizer, only two choices on the menu for your main course, and quicker (almost rushed) service. The last time I took the flight about a third of the passengers went to sleep right away and skipped dinner. Breakfast seemed normal to me--choice of entree (eggs or pancakes) and hot bread basket (rolls/croissants/muffins) along with fruit, yoghurt, juice, etc. I actually think this is pretty similar to the last flight out of Atlanta (the 9:30ish departure).

Starting out in Florida around 6:00 P.M., and then changing planes in ATL after a layover, I will be ready for dinner.

I would not skip a course on AF. If the French can't pull off airline food, no one can.
