Appetizer
Entree
Cheese Plate

Pre-Arrival Meal

And here was the experience in December 2008.

I would love AirFrance's food on pretty much any other airline's seats.

Yummeh!

Kinda puts CO BF food to shame, really, doesn't it?!

US used to have a pretty rabid and loyal following that the current management has succeeded in running off. Anyone who is a fan of them now either loves their upgrades or doesn't know any better.

What AF is able to do with food and drink should be viewed as a challenge by the competition.

All this food talk makes me want to finish making dinner. I must post, however...

Mr.Brit and MissTeenBrit flew AF Biz from JNB-CDG last year and said the food was fantastic.


LittleMissBrit and I flew VS Upper Class and to be honest, I thought the food was rather mediocre.

What is the small bowl? Pic is not close enough to make out exactly.
I know a commercial cheddar filled mini crepe...


Appetizer

foie gras looking mighty large :D I can eat some of it, but that much I'd have to choke down.
Salmon, looks really nice tho.

Entree

I like eggplant, but that looks absolutely disgusting, from a presentation standpoint at least. it leaves no color and beauty of the eggplant.

Cheese Plate

CO BF beats this hands down ^

Dessert

very nice, is that green tea sorbet??

Pre-Arrival Meal
Do the oranges have cream on them? If not something looks funny about them.

Even with the security issues, my flight from CDG on 30 December pushed and arrived early.

Yep. But I'm not NYC based. And to even consider maintaining top tier will require some long haul MRs, where the extra Evips come in handy. So even though I might not be visiting some new places this year, it might make more sense for me to suck it up and go OneWorld, at least for this year.

Or - I run back up on CO and get mid-tier on both alliances. Decisions, decisions...

The food in Etihad Pearl Biz and Diamond First is out of this world. And, it's "on demand" so it is so much nicer than having to wade through a 4 or 5 course meal all at once.

I am trying to find a foreign carrier or reviews of one for a trip later this year, no one in the box answer my question about air china F/J :(

I am limited in my options realistically, due to needing to get to PEK, with 3 tickets, on the same plane.
