AF B777s
 

Anyone flown an Air France B777 lately? I hear they are rather cramped. Is this the case? How is the entertainment? Thanks.

Free booze still?

Very cramped. I don't recall the free entertainment. Was not a movie I gave two cents about. Don't know about the booze; didn't drink it.<BR>I would not fly that aircraft again with either Air France or Delta. Both are sardine style. In fact I would fly neither airline anywhere unless I was forced to.<BR>

Are you referring only to AF coach, or are you including business class in your opinion?

I was referring to coach. Unless I can wink at the gate attendants and throw some french (and money) around, looks like I'm stuck in coach. thanks to Bob, for the info.

I dislike B777s more than most planes regardless of carrier, but AF seat configurations are on the small side on any of their planes, just like other major carriers, such as BA which is, if anything, less space than AF. Entertainment is fine if you go for that stuff, it's just the usual movies, radio channels, etc, on those little seatback things. You can't see or hear much anyway, so it makes little difference to me. I have now gotten those noise-reduction headphones so I can listen to my own music and they are great! Makes a big difference.

Christina -- I assume you mean the Bose headphones. Aren't they very bulky to carry with you? Where did you buy them -- pay full price?

Unless the B777 is different from other 777's, I prefer this plane over the 747,767 or the Air Bus 321? The AF seat configuration is considerably better than most. Have you ever sat in the middle section of a crowded 747? <BR><BR>The movies shown on the AF flight is odd. There are several movies but they seem to start whenever they want. If you figure it out, let me know.

I personally like Air France 777's. Not as much room in coach as AA but that is far outweighed by the much better food and wine. Even my husband, who usually has a fit if we aren't in business class, didn't complain too much. He really likes the individual tv screens with video games and the movies were very good--but I like foreign films.
