Seats were fine for sitting, but terrible for sleeping. Kept sliding down all night due to the incline. Also, the seats seemed to be old and in disrepair. I watched the cabin crew on both flights trying to fix seats that were not operating properly.

CDG-JNB. Brand new aircraft, everything worked. Huge TV screen, too far away but made the seating area feel more spacious. Touch screen AVOD excellent, but a stretch to reach it. Seats wide and comfortable. The area for your feet is underneath the seat on front, looks cramped and awkward when sitting but didn't cause any problems when sleeping.

Paris to Johannesburg with Air France - totally disappointed. I was slipping down the angled seat all night, didn't arrive feeling fresh. Sleeping flat is important for me when flying business, and this Air france is very poor with it's angle.

Paris to Beijing in Business Class. The seats were in seating position good but when reclined I had the feeling to slide down. The cabin was filthy and the facilities were broken. Seats do not offer any privacy.

We booked the rear most seat in the smaller cabin, we find it more cozy, and there's a bit of storage space on the top of the seat back. The seats aren't flat (as in straight) but not too bad.

It is not a flat 180° seat as on most major airlines but an uncomfortable old seat in which you will have the displeasure to slip down all night.

The space between the row is less than A340 and even with the seat in vertical position the access to the corridor is not easy with a passenger occupying the aisle seat. The monitor is very old with very low contrast. it's difficult to see when the lights are on. On the flight Tokyo to Paris the announcement were too much and always in 3 languages interrupting the movie for 5 minutes each time- very annoying. Food was so and so. Nice complimentary amenities set.

Took the night flight so I could sleep, but when I woke up and asked if I could please get some food, I was told to go and help myself to sandwiches. As for the seat, you will feel like your going to slide off it the whole timel.

Very pleased to notice that the seat is almost fully flat. But I noticed that my neighbor had some problems with privacy, the armrest slides down as your seat becomes a bed, and as a consequence, you have no protection, no shell that gives you a little privacy, and you're almost falling in the alley.

CDG-GIG-CDG - this is probably the oldest, most worn out cabin I have flown for a long time - angled lie flat seats comfort is not so bad. This particular aircraft, has the first generation of such seats, with a terrible video system; on the return flight a grand total of 6 movies, none of them in English. The middle arm-rest was broken and the in-seat power connection was falling apart, as was the headphone socket. All in all disappointing, and on top of that the marathon distances for a connection through CDG.

This was an 11 hour flight from Paris to Rio de Janeiro and back. I took the night flight on purpose to get some sleep and I chose Air France because I'm still collecting points and because they offered a night flight (unlike BA). Even with the aid of sleeping pills I found it hard to get any sleep as the incline meant that I kept sliding (or felt like I was sliding). The passenger next to me actually felt like he was too close to me. The inflight screen seemed a bit old, as did most of anything related to seats. I'm still loyal to Air France but really don't know for how long especially that their hub is that awful CDG airport.

Seat is very-old generation lie-flat. IFE very poor, few selections. Food OK and service unattentive.

If you do intend on sleeping you will spend almost the entire time sliding down the seat which opens at an angle and having your feet resting and actually supporting your body from sliding further. Being 6'2", sleep eludes me in this seat.
