Air France 77W La Première to LAX

Our new Personal Assistant came to retreive us at around T-30.   We waited briefly as she checked on the La Première swag I had inquired about just after we arrived.

From the elevator we were escorted down stairs for a few CBP mandated security questions, and then to our car for the ride to our plane.

Inside to the gate elevator for the quick ride up to the departures level.

Down the private La Première jet bridge where our PA introduced us to our cabin crew.

Since the First Class cabin was full today with both other passengers in their window seats, some pics from a previous flight. 

Back to today, a happy Mrs. SFO777 relieved to be on Air France and not Delta. 

Krug Grande Cuvée as our lovely pre-departure beverage.

As soon as we had settled into our seats, the captain came back to personally welcome us and inform us with our flight and arrival time.   I finally had a chance to open my La Première swag bag and see what was inside.  The had to be nicest USB memory stick I have ever seem. 

Once in the air, we closed our curtains for the ultimate in privacy.

Today's menu...

Meh... with not a lot that really excited us.

Since we had just had lunch, we passed on an immediate lunch and relaxed and slept for nearly five hours.  And then, showtime...

My chestnut and celeriac soup was quite tasty althought luke warm at best.

While Mrs. SFO777 had the Langoustines, caviar and fruit starter which she rated as "OK".

And a fresh garden salad which she loved with vinaigrette.

Pour moi, one more decadent round of foie gras.  

Probably the least favorite of the week.

For her main, Mrs. SFO777 went with lobster fricassé which was excellent despite looking like it had been run over by the catering truck.  Definitely a far cry from how it is typically served. 

My chicken and langoustine was also just OK.  The chicken a little dry after have spend an extra 5 hours in the galley.

Mrs. SFO777 enjoyed the grapes despite European's inability to produce grapes without seeds.

Shockingly I passed on dessert or other sweets and slept in my comfy bed most of the way back to LAX.

We landed on time at LAX where an LAX-based La Première PA met us and escorted us thru customs, then to baggage claim and outside.  Another great Air France La Première flight despite the so-so food.  Then again, since we had eaten both in the lounge prior to the flights and eaten our way around Paris this week, neither of us we really hungry.  

We loved our week in Paris and look forward to returning soon.  Thanks for following along on this report.
