Air France Trip Report flying from Paris to Mumbai onboard one of the Air France Boeing 777 on a beautiful winter day over Europe and Asia.

A quite comfortable flight from Paris to Mumbai on an Air France Boeing 777-300ER. I say quite comfortable because there were some things that didn't allow it to be as good as it could be: the plane was really old (windows in bad condition), the cabin was old (no sockets), the crew was not very friendly, one of the worst IFEs I've ever seen... it wasn't a bad flight but it could have been much better.

We took off from runway 09L at Paris CDG airport and quickly made a small right turn to start our route to Mumbai. Initially, we flew towards Zurich. From there we set course towards Venice across the Alps. Luckily the Alps were without any clouds, so we could enjoy some amazing views of them, fully covered with snow. We had also a camera on the right side of the plane, so the views were even more impressive.

Once we reached the Venice area we continued towards the Adriatic Sea, ik parallel course to the Croatian coast. Once again here, the views were stunning. I think we had never seen this part of the world without any clouds ln the channel. What a marvelous place to visit! We flew next to Pula, Rikeja, and Split, while we were flying in direct towards Athens.

We didn't reach the Greek capital, but instead made a left turn and crossed all Greece towards the Aegean Sea. We were flying in direct course to Rhodos island when we entered this sea and we could spot the amazing island of Skiathos, Kos, and Rhodos. From there we crossed the Mediterranean Sea towards the Sinai Peninsula.

We crossed it from northwest to southeast, enjoying some of the best views of the Gulf of Aqaba that I've ever seen. Then we continued across Saudi Arabia towards Bahrein, east of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. We left Dubai on our right and quickly crossed Oman. From there we flew in direct course to Mumbai, where we landed almost 1 hour late.

Let's talk about the onboard service. There were 2 services on this flight: meal (main) and snack (secondary). For today's flight both meal options were vegetarian: pasta with cheese or rice with vegetables. I opted for the pasta. It was one of the plainest meals I've ever had on a plane. It came with a cereal salad which was quite good, a piece of cheese, bread & butter, and some kind of small chocolate dessert. A pretty plane meal to say the least. The coffee though I must say it was really good.

Around 1 hour and 45 minutes before landing the crew served the pre-landing snack. It came on the already classic Air France snack bag. It contained half a sandwich of carrots, 40g of almonds, and a small yogurt. The bag makes it look cool... but it's a ridiculously small meal. Even more if we compare it to what Vistara offers on an equivalent route that we already have on the channel.

Now it's your turn!
Have you ever flown with Air France? Which route? How was the experience? Which model did you fly? Have you ever been in Mumbai? Maybe in Paris? Have you ever flown on the B777? What do you think about the Air France overall product?
