AF291 NOT-SO-HEAVY


The first row of Affaires on the Air France 777-300 has longer partitions and a more private feel. This version of the aircraft has brown/beige seats instead of blue/off-white.
エールフランスの777-300、アフェールの最前列は長めのパーティションがあり、よりプライベートな感じがする。この機材はブルーにオフホワイトではなく、ブラウンにベージュのシートを装備。

La Première (First) has no passengers, and more than 90% of Affaires (Business) seats are empty. And I'm flying for free. Using a 777-300 like a private jet is not bad at all for me, but I guess the airline is not happy at all. Air France may soon rethink its Kansai route.
ラ・プルミエール(ファースト)は乗客なし。アフェール(ビジネス)の9割以上は空席。そして僕はタダで飛んでいる。777-300がプライベートジェットになったような僕は気分がいいが、エアラインの気分は最悪だろう。エールフランスはじきに関空線を見直すかもしれない。

Taking off from RWY 6R and climbing with KIX's typical circling pattern to avoid scattering noise over the populated areas.
ランウェイ6Rからテイクオフし、人口密集地域に騒音を撒き散らかさないよう、関空おなじみの旋回パターンで上昇。

If US airlines stick with a sundae, AF does the same with a sorbet. They never call it a sherbet. Air France B777-300 KIX-CDG. The 485th flight in my lifetime.
もし米系航空会社がサンデーにこだわるなら、エアフラはソルベにこだわる。彼らは決してシャーベットとは呼ばない。エールフランス B777-300 KIX-CDG。生涯485フライト目。

Thanks for the pics of Row 3. Next time you fly AF 291/292 please consider taking photos of Row 4 A & B so that we have a mor ecomplete idea of what the "Mini" cabin is like.

Once again, thanks!

No I'm not from AF.

I will be flying AF for the first time to KIX this coming September/October in Row 4AB and I've been trying to see what that area looks like.

Once again thanks for your posts.

Cool.
This section of 773 is quite comfortable and relaxing, whatever route you fly on.

Roy,
Yes. So far Ikoma is serving as AF lounge in KIX. No window, no wonderful meal, but ok.
