Fabulous Report!

It does seem to me that AF is much more elegant and classy in their service, and that they have not cut back considerably, as ooposed to BA which seesm to be less so, and most notice quite major cut-backs.

Air France seems to be keep just plugging away satisfying passengers, while as with BA that have curtailed things.

Although one thing where BA has an advantage is the LHR lounges, and interior decor, where as AF does not even match either to the extent of BA(have they recently re-done thier interior?)

Again, excellent report.

Great report. I have taken the BA Concorde flight from JFK-LHR and we did not have the second meal....(the caviar and champagne).. The service on AF seems so much more classy</font>
Air France's website even mention caviar being served.

"Meals successfully combine French culinary traditions with originality. The menus are created by a well-known chef, and the wine list offers a choice of prestigious, vintage wines. Champagne and caviar are served by an attentive, Concorde-exclusive cabin crew."

While nothing on BA's website mention caviar.

Outstanding - the sort of trip report which makes the rest of us feel inadequate.

Thank you.
