Trip Report: Air France A350 to Dubai Business Class
Just how good is Air France in Business Class on one of their key routes, the twice a day flight to Dubai, where the airline goes head to head with Emirates. With high hopes of French high cuisine and some Parisian style I headed to Paris CDG. However, surly staff, woeful catering, non existent wifi, and belligerent passengers - and that's just on the ground - set this up to be a flight like no other.
