Cool aircraft, but the seats once again don't lie flat. I envy the folks who can slip semi-reclined and seem to
defy gravity by not slipping down to the bottom. But I'm 6' 1" 210 lbs so I must suffer. I guess they test these
seats with 110 lb supermodels.

Paris to Detroit. Very disappointed with the seat. Since Air France went to the expense of upgrading
its business class-seating, you'd think they would put in a flat-bed product, but apparently cramming
more seats in was the goal. I'll never fly them again if I can avoid it. Cabin was half full, and if my
experience was an indicator, they'll continue to lose business and wish they'd put the right product in
the cabins in the first place.

Horrible seat! They do not lie flat and you slide down them. Awful.

Have to agree with comments recently placed by others. I was even worse, because I got the middle seat of 3! This is 2011 and
Air France are offering this rubbish and charging high biz class fares? Never again, and hoping my return can be switched to Delta
that do have flat seats - and not this economy cabin style middle of 3 in a row. Air France should be ashamed to take nice planes
and this put this rubbish into them. Think someone at top in Air France should be fired for this.

This was the newest Air France seat product - and what a disaster! How can Air France as SkyTeam member
be allowed to offer such a poor business class seat. You slide down when trying to sleep, and the cabin
just feels really cramped and overcrowded. I will make sure that any other "codeshare" flights avoid this
awful seat - premium economy on Turkish Airlines last week was more comfortable than this Air France
torture device.

ATL-CDG. These seats are poor at best. They are too narrow, they should have used 6 seats per row instead
of 7. They don't recline fully flat, so you slide down while trying to sleep. Your feet are jammed into a
small box under the seat in front, a particularly bad design. Unless you are short and have tiny feet,
you won't get much sleep. The seat was also hard as a rock, even to sit on. Our flight back on an A340
was no better. They are a poor substitute for the old wide and comfortable business class seats.

Agree with others that the biggest disappointment is a business seat that slopes. The folds/ridges/spaces
make for anything but a uniform mattress for sleep. What I found more disturbing being the front business
cabin is the constant, back-forth heavy steps of flight attendants entering first class. I wonder if they
recognize how bothersome it is?

Seats extremely uncomfortable. Do not lie flat, spent the night hanging on and not sleeping. My back was
really bad. Return flight from S America much the same. Outward flight poor service and food not nearly
as good as other airlines.

Seats horrible for business class if you want to lay them down for sleeping position. You cant lay in any
position except on your back comfortably because they don't lay completely flat and the way they conform
to your body is not ergonomically correct. Also, the foot rest does not go up high enough. In my opinion
you should take seats in Row 3 and Row 5. You get a personal TV as opposed to looking at one on the back
of the seat in front of you, and because they are older technology you cant see those very well. Also,
Row 3 and 5 offer the best leg room. Seats 5k and 5L are near the restroom, and it can be unpleasant at
times.

There is no privacy from your neighbours on either side, and when it came to sleeping, the seat wouldn't
lie flat, instead, it inclined downwards at the halfway point so I was constantly awoken by pain in the
hips.

Uncomfortable seats, even just sitting they arent too good, and they certainly don't create a horizontal
bed. The foot part slides into an opening in the back of the seat in front, but at the flattest position
there is no room for ones feet if lying on ones back. Also having to tense oneself somewhere to avoid
sliding downhill makes sleeping difficult.

Disappointed. Will not fly again. The most uncomfortable business class long haul ever. What more can I
say. And to top it off the food quality is worse than last time I flew Air France.

What a disappointment! They advertise flat beds but forget to say that they are at an angle. I kept
sliding down. Food was mediocre, friendliness so-so.

The seats are confortable if you are under 6 feet and not above 90kg - otherwise too small. Sleeping is
difficult as you will slip down all night. No privacy and entertainment system does not work quite often.

Their Biz class seats do not lie flat. Even the upper portion doesn’t become fully horizontal, so in
effect the whole seat reclines within its shell and does not lie flat or become totally horizontal. What
a rip off, selling lie flat and charging for it! Cabin crew agreed with me when I complained.

Food mediocre and cabin cleanliness leaves much to be desired; crumbs and bits of food everywhere and
smelly toilets at take-off. Seats comfortable for sitting and lounging but sleeping not easy because of
the angle as everyone else mentions. Aircraft dated from 1999 and it showed. Air France need to overhaul
the interiors.

Narrow seats for business class must be due to the 2x3x2 configuration as better airlines use a 2x2x2
layout. The seat doesn't recline completely and found the best sleeping position to be a laid back
seated.

Comfortable seat, but the bed mode is slanted and I kept waking up to pull myself off the bottom and
slide up to the top. I'm 6'1" and my feet felt crammed in the box under the front passenger's seat. The
entertainment system was the old kind where you have various movie channels, but no way to control start,
pause, fast forward, etc. and it had very few English language movies in English. Service was spotty and
the attendants strained to smile and pretend they enjoyed their jobs.

Poor seat for sleeping as one keeps sliding down it. Sitting in the cradle position is not great as the
incline of the seat base cannot be independently adjusted causing blood circulation to be cut off to your
legs. Can’t believe Air France does not have lie flat seats in Business – their competitors do. As the
air hostess said, “you are free to choose who you travel with”. Enough said.
