Ahhh... The Skytrax trip-ratings. Always a favorite! It is fascinating to read about the expectations and disappointments that people have.
For instance, "We had advised the airline {AF} that my husband is 6'3", but no allowance [was] given for that".
What did they expect? An announcement that every economy-class passenger over 6'0" tall should report to the Gate Agent for reassignment to Business Class?
IMO, many of the comments seem to be from the disgruntled minority, and not from the 300 people on their aircraft who had no problem with the legroom, the food, the connections, the FAs, the GAs, the fact that the flight took place at night and no compensation was offered for the lack of a view out the window, etc etc.
There is nothing wrong with AF. They have a four-star Skytrax rating, the same as QF, NH, BA, NZ, LH, TG, JL... Need I go on?. Sure, Frenchmen can be a little difficult to get along with at times, but so can Aussies, Germans and Americans (ESPECIALLY Americans!). Just remember that economy isn't Business or First, and you won't be disappointed. (By the way, AF's F is very good!).
) - why can't they just take out the alcohol while I stay... So I will be getting myself a room in the Air Garden hotel which is located inside the international terminal; around $150 a night for Deluxe, $136 for Standard.
