Thoughts on A350-900 Air France business class. $1900 for 8.5 hours leg one + 4.5 hours leg 2 with an 8 hour layover. Worth the cost?

Economy is $600. The plane is pretty open. Leg 1 is over night.

Fair warning, once you fly lie flat business…you never go back.

I hate when the plane loads from the front and you have to walk by all the lie flat seats on the way to coach like you’re a cow going to slaughter. 😞

If Leg 1 is overnight, I would do biz for that to get lie flat and other perks. I’m assuming Leg 2 is in Europe given the timing … for that, I would consider Economy as “in Europe business” is Economy with a nicer meal and the middle seat blocked out.

Yes, worth it

Worth it to sleep

Biz is always worth it

I can try to get you a 12.5% discount if you book via me. Only applies to biz class

Yes. You’ll still get miles to your FF account

Brah, always fly business on A350 or 787
