You might start with the aircraft that you will be flying, or at least from where to where.

That helps, as not all seats are created equal.

Or better yet, you might spend a few minutes on google. There's a plethora of information there, including videos.

Here's a FlyerTalk discussion on the seats.

Thanks for the question and for the review above. Hope you hear some more experiences from Fodorites.

Looks like something that I'd try for a day trip if paying out of pocket but would hold out for biz on night flights; but then I am flying from US west coast.

We will be flying AF PE in April - leaving 4/2 for PPT. I'll post a review from our trip. Until then - sorry no prior experience.

I've been in those seats several times and compared to coach they are marvelous. They are pretty much halfway between coach and business classes; food and service are significantly better than in coach. Most aircraft are the same except in the A380 the pitch is an astounding 50" pitch.

For something in the $400-500 range additional roundtrip from NA to Europe it is well worth it. We have used it twice so far and will be heading back in PE in May.

Note that if you book an itinerary in PE and it is not available on all flights, you will get coach (or upgraded coach) seats (NOT business).

I posted this in an earlier thread, but here it is again: a link I received from The Frequent Business Traveler. The linked article is a guide to Premium Economy services offered by five domestic US airlines and 12 international airlines, including AF.

The AF seats are okay. The fixed shell is a bit weird to get used to and is lacking in thigh support, but it is okay and you get a fair amount of personal space. Not remotely as good as business class, but a nice step up from coach. Worth the money IMO.
