Air France Trip Report flying from Paris to Fort-de-France, in the island of Martinica, onboard one of the Air France Boeing 777-300ER with the Caribbean cabin configuration, on a lovely summer day.
An extremely comfortable flight to the French Caribbean onboard the Air France Boeing 777. As we were on the hurricane season in the Caribbean, the flight was only around 60% booked and I was lucky enough to get a free row for myself: 3 seats next to the window, plus 4 seats in the middle of the cabin. Not only comfortable but with a huge level of privacy!
We took off from Paris-Orly in a northeasterly direction and quickly made a 180° turn to the right to start our route to Fort-de-France. The takeoff was amazing. We were seated just in front of the engines and the sound couldn't be better. A really memorable one! After finishing the turn, we enjoyed some very nice views of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower.
We flew in parallel course to the northwest French coast, all over the Brest area, until finally joining the Atlantic Ocean. Ahead of us thousands of kilometers of water and around 7 hours until reaching the lovely island of Martinica, in the Caribbean Sea. We saw just water and storms until spotting Guadalupe Island. A few minutes after that, we finally reached Martinica.
The approach was completely over the island, overflying Fort-de-France and its airport, and making a 180° turn to finally over the Bay of Fort-de-France. Martinica is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. I really hope the recording of the approach will be able to show it on this Trip Report.
About the onboard service, I can't say anything good. It wasn't bad, of course not, but it wasn't any special. At all. There were 2 options for the main meal (chicken or pasta) but when they arrived in my row (literally the 4th in economy class) they ran out of the chicken option already... The rest was just a very cheap meal, in my opinion, not at the AirFrance-KLM level.
Now it's your turn!
Have you ever flown with Air France? Which route? How was the experience? What do you think about the Air France service? Have you ever been in Martinica? Maybe in any other Caribbean island?
Lots of things to talk about! See you in the comments!
