AIR FRANCE chose the elegantly splendid residence of the French Ambassador to unveil last week for the British travel trade and serious customers their new and most impressive first and club class products. Called l”Espace Premiere (first class) and l”Espace Affaires (J class), they have been introduced on the CDG ” Tokyo route and will be subsequently rolled out over the whole system during the next six months. Designed by UK safety seat specialist Britax both recline to 180 degrees. With first class the footstool doubles as a seat and storage area. You can dine at a table with a companion who also has a seat belt in case of turbulence. The very attractive business class ”settee” allows the passenger to stretch out into the base of the seat in front and AF says that even the full recline will not affect other passengers. Three star chef Guy Martin has created the menus which are complimented by a wine list from one of the world”s top sommeliers, Philippe Faure-Brac. AF now has to prove in the air how good it is. ”Flying at the Front End” is happy to oblige.
