The last time I was on AF I was not a happy camper - I had booked with Delta for an AF code share - when I checked in at CDG they had taken away our pleasant aisle / window seat, separated us and put us in one of the 5 person mid-plane purgatory seats. Of course they ran out of the meal choice right before they got to us and we had tme most disgusting airline meal ever. Asking for an extra bottle of the adult meal time beverage got me a sniff from the attendant. I will NEVER fly AF again unless it is saving me beaucoup money and then I wil be sure to check and check my seat so I don't get pushed to the back again and pack enough snacks to hold me on the oversea flight.

Thanks, waterdog - that might explain it! Right now it's looking best price-wise to leave on a Tuesday and come back on a Thursday, so maybe they don't run it on Tuesday evenings.
USAir it is - though I had some crazy dream last night where I had accidentally booked myself on Virgin Atlantic going through SFO. Where that came from, I have no idea! Still waiting on the brother's travel to get approved before I drop $800+ - gotta love bureaucracy.

i J,
My last experience with USAir was sitting in Charlotte for about 4 hrs while they kept telling us that "the equipment will be ready soon".
It was also the last straw.
The food on AF is better than anyone else's.

IRA - re: AF food, I would have agreed with you before that last flight - we flew out of Paris so it can't be blamed on US operations - our tray had a mushy pasta with heavy, tasteless white sauce and then a pasta salad - more mush - it was horrid. I posted this afterwards and several other posters had recently had the same "delightful" menu.

This has not been my experience and statements such as this are most likely rooted in an overall impression of French cuisine in general and not specifically to meals on an airline. I recently flew back to back in AF business class and Continental business class and the latter was clearly superior to the former in both execution and overall quality.
