Prologue:

18 days in France weren't enough! It's already time to go back to Shanghai!

Let's do the journey backward: CDG-HAN-PVG.

I didn't take pictures for the second journey so there will be only a single report!

CDG Airport! Going to the SkyPriority checkin area

There were not too many people at that time.

Priority line to pass the border is convenient!

In my opinion that's the best lounge of Air France in CDG.

Time to lunch! F&B!

Such a bad idea to let so many bottles of Champagne in self service... After 3 or 4 cups (I forgot) I felt ready for the boarding!

1st plate

2nd round

The lounge was pretty crowded so i didn't take much pics not to disturb people

Direction to the boarding gate

My plane !

The seat is confortable

Another cup of Champagne... I calculated Lounge + plane = a full bottle for myself!

The menu

Really another cup again?

The lunch

part 2

The cheese platter!!! Very nice much better compared to China Eastern

The dessert

A real cold breakfast! That's what I prefer

Some spotting from the air

Landing under the rain again in Hanoi I went to the same lounge than from the previous report. Nothing new inside!

Le salon est très bien mais le salon L est encore mieux !
Tu peux égaler GRMY au niveau bouf ! Avec les 350 ou le 787, VN est un bon choix. Merci pour ce TR.

Avec plaisir!
Au prochain passage en France, on pourra se faire un concours de nourriture alors !
Je ne crois pas avoir testé le L, j'essayerai une prochaine fois!

Je confirme c'est la pire des erreurs que de tester la J, car après on ne veut pas revoler en Y... Sur ce, je repas jouer au loto pour me payer les prochains vols!

Salut Emile!
Tu devrais essayer VN et rapidement! Je te rattrape en nombre de YTR ;-)

Merci Antoine pour ce TR.

Le salon du hall M est sympa, mais celui du hall L propose des services annexes en plus.

La livrée de VN est superbe.

A bord, à nouveau un bon repas.

A bientôt !
