Boarding the Air France 747 Upper Deck SFO - CDG

[Insanegaming2010]

this is so not as nice as the BA 747 upstairs which i flew in a month ago! well BA 747 is club world(Premuim business)

[skateboardlover22]

2:50...Well played wind, well played.

[cleo0399]

were you using a hidden camera there or something?

[kingosei66]

hey that was a great video...i relly liked it :)

[jonanlsh]

a window seat is certainly nice, though it really sucks when you wanna pee.

[dpaanlka]

I think you should have zoomed in on the old guy's face a little more.

[DarkwerefoxRed]

Loks like only Economy and Buissness class, are in this version of the plane. No first class or when theres one, its in the lower deck's front.

[DarkwerefoxRed]

Looks like an 747-8, 2 classes config...

[markuss1977]

Very nice recorded. I love the more and more classic Jumbo-Jets. What,s the name of this class in which you travelled

[BA1337fly]

You Lying Toe Rag thats no Premium Economy Upstairs. Thats Bog Standard Economy!

[JakubRacek1]

Are there PTVs in standard economy class? lower deck..

[Aviationnation10]

@JakubRacek1 yes

[MapleManiac10]

i think the upstairs is just the size of a dc-9 huge plane

[TheChillFlight]

How long was the flight?

[shamalama68]

Gosh that looks cramped! I would get so claustrophobic. That ain't Premium Economy. Premium Economy has shell seats.

[banade1987]

very nice video .....one of the best I must say .....if do not mind can you tell me the name of the camera that you are using in this video??

[rrz518]

@banade1987 It's a Canon Powershot S5 IS

[grekkli]

hello!

*awkward pause*

bonjour monsieur...

[water892]

was premium economy expensive???

[rrz518]

@water892 I was upgraded comp b/c of my elite status with Delta, so no. But I believe they charge several hundred dollars if you actually buy it.

[patrikplanefan97]

@rrz518 It doesnt, it is free and available for flying blue members, and if theres space you can ask them to move you into a seat during boarding, or at check in.

[doutorfred]

@water892 If AF do not already changed, upper deck sits can be purchased by 70 euro if your flight is more than 9 hours long

[iloveairfrance]

AND HE FORGOT THE WINDOW VIEW !

[danishown2]

What class were u in?

[rrz518]

@danishown2 Premium Economy (upstairs)

[Bridxb]

Blimey they stick Pikey's upstairs on Air France !!

[BoboVicus]

Did i hear wind at the end?

[SunriseHealthFoods]

@BoboVicus its the apu and air condition systems running

[brownman9607]

must suck to get a window seat for such a long flight

[Flight322]

Whats with the wind sounds near the end?

[celineprettygirl]

@JumboJetBoy1 lol yes ofourse!

[iryan74656]

@ 2:41 sound like the air con is on lucky you dude.

[motardkool]

Air France deals very well with their passengers when there is a connection problem. Their staff is always handy. I like them.

[Kaipeternicolas]

Air France has Economy on top!?!?! HOW POOR IS THAT!? Rly rly bad...

[KingD2D]

is the upperdeck at Air France not First??? Or do their seats just look like in economy in First haha, you never know.

[merlimax]

Air France ! Rubbish ! If it wasn't for them, I might still be flying on Concorde !

[Pvjinflight]

@merlimax Concorde was stopped because it wasnt economical to operate with higth fuel prices, not because of the accident, which wasnt Air Frances fault really.

[BRRUUUAAHHable]

@Pvjinflight OH VERY NICE, now i its clear, ROGER THAT'

[celineprettygirl]

Hahaha I love airfrance the cabin crew is very friendly every time I go on air france! Every time I travel I literally allways use airfrance and I love how when u get on 2 cabin crew members say hello in french and I say the same back to them and they r allways smiling!

[rrz518]

@celineprettygirl I'm kind of medium on Air France. I agree with your comments in the boarding stage, although the inflight service is rather shoddy (in F and coach) compared with other carriers, even Delta. It's not uncommon to get the feeling that they definitely give French speaking passengers more attention/better service. OTOH, their aircraft are great, good routes, I'm OK with CDG as a transfer point, etc., so I'm not an AF hater.

[celineprettygirl]

@rrz518 agreed and what i really like about airfrance is that their planes are very comfortable and clean and its pretty quiet on the plane so I enjoy it quite well but when you get to the CDG airport the agents and people that work there are agressive,arogant,disrespectfu­l,and stuborn cunts i mean avoid it if you can!

[rrz518]

@celineprettygirl LOL! Esp. at the food service places, yes they are pretty obnoxious.

[celineprettygirl]

@rrz518 hahaha i know right!?

[XxMetalGorxX]

@celineprettygirl their french, their suppose to be like that.

[quickstrike93]

i got these seats for free from toronto to paris...was very nice

[marioslicer8]

UHGGGGG LUCKY RICH PEOPLE!!!!!

[TheWarPlanet]

@marioslicer8 Lol sucks for you.

[Ciaranarchy]

Air France sucks so much.

[pingpongpung]

@Ciaranarchy And why is that?

[Ukash13MK]

This whoman talking like polish whoman.

[mjbruce11]

hi... is there a emergency exit door on the upper deck to?? or do u have to use the one down stairs?? do more to please

[rabitman3000]

why is there wind noise indoors

[xXShowtubeXx]

@rabitman3000 I believe is the Air Condition....

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@rabitman3000 someone farted

[MrInsects]

How much is it for a private cabin cause zay look vewry nice

[monnjion1994]

Airfrance the best airline company

[MrInsects]

@monnjion1994 i dis agree american airlines is really nice too!

[Ciaranarchy]

@MrInsects Actually, both Air France and American Airlines are two of the worst.

[brkitdwn]

that looked unappealing..

[thephubet]

WHAT AIR FRANCE have economy class at upper dek

[MrVanderfeld]

I don't really know exactly the number of 747-400 Air France still have ( I think F-GEXA, F-GEXB, F-GITE, F-GITF, F-GISC, F-GISD, F-GITH, F-GITI and F-GITJ are still in service ) but at this time, only three of them are equiped with Personal TV onboard. These are the three last aircraft in the 747 fleet including F-GITH, F-GITI and F-GITJ. I've heard somewhere that Air France will change and update all 747 cabins to keep some of in the fleet until 2016 or something.

[MrVanderfeld]

Overmore I would like to say that the configuration of Air France's Boeing 747-400 is quite different comparing to other airline.

In fact, the upper deck is composed of Y ( economy "voyageur seats" ) with more legroom and personnal TV on the entire of the AF's 744 fleet. Business Class ( Affaires ) is located under this one, on the main deck at the in the front of the cabin, in the nose if you prefer.

[MrVanderfeld]

I remember the women we see at 00:07 she's very nice and I loved her accent.

I really enjoyed the Air France crew at SFO. I took flight AF084 and AF083 in August 2010

[hawk45653]

tht doesnt look like first on upperlevle

[MyPilot747]

where were u going to?

[rrz518]

@MyPilot747 CDG

[TheHitesh2000]

@MyPilot747 i thing cdg means charles de gaulles in paris.

[fruitsandclops]

omg that's so complicated but interesting. French people are mostly arrogant and the young generation is going to be more and more racists. I've grown with French people and I know it.

[XxXLtqiXxX]

On United's 747 the upper deck is first class - Or Business Class :) Got to sit in the last row of it with my dad when we went to Germany for a Medical Conference

[camucamu09]

becareful with OSAMA ! :)

[ShawnJohnsonFan1616]

to be on the top deck, do you have to go first class or anything? or is it just economy and if you come early enough to reserve a seat on the top level?

[rrz518]

@ShawnJohnsonFan1616

No, first class is a different service. The upstairs seats are had by either paying extra for them, or by being an AF or partner elite customer, ie. platinum or similar. FYI, they don't cost that much, and aside from being in a little private cabin, the seats are really not that much better than regular coach.

[kisdy]

@rrz518 But you hav eyour own tv, at the " dungeons" it is a small tv in the front for everybody! besides de snacks and beverage upstairs... Well at least in the older aircraft ( I fly a lot from GIG-CDG) and i dont mind paying extra 70 euros for that,afterall it is almost an 11-hour flight!

[24preacherboy]

@ShawnJohnsonFan1616

They dont let black people up there.

[cody75018]

@ShawnJohnsonFan1616

upper deck, its depend what 747 we have, its the premium economy or the economy

[dfwricardo]

@ShawnJohnsonFan1616 depends on how the airline configurates the plane, in this video Air France has economy class in the upperdeck, never seen that before

[yogiababua]

LOL "Bonjour Monsieuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­r" lol

[lopalz11]

@ rrz518How were the flight crew?Were they sweet or snobbisH?

[lopalz11]

How were the flight crew?Were they sweet or snobbisH?

[bosnagurl1234]

last time i went on a plane, and crossed the atlantic, stupid baby was crying like crazy, im like dad i swear i wanna kill that baby, lmfao

well this was a nice video :D

[Spaceshotx7]

How come when you were walking forward, you were directed to board via the upper deck? how come after where you showed your ticket, when the person in front of you were waling to the jetway ahead, you were directed to board the one to the left of it? What airport was this at?

[Spaceshotx7]

How come when you were walking forward, you were directed to board via the upper deck? What airport was this at?

[Boeingloverzz]

Wow, economy class in the upper deck? Cool...!!

By the way, it's a lot quieter in the upper deck than in the lower one...

[RonRPL]

What camera was you using? Let me guess... Canon PowerShot S :)

[LufthansaA343]

AF has economy on the upper deck?

[Marineperson]

@LufthansaA343 yes, only on there 747-400. But on the 747-400CIO, they have buisness (alize) on the upper deck. Hope this helps :-)

[LufthansaA343]

@Marineperson yes thank you:)

[MrHaizeq]

Nice plane ... I'm heading tø Melbourne on 23rd Thursday .. From Singapore ... By the 747-400 :)

[silvair25]

sfo=labyrinth of hallways and corridors that magically get you to your plane

[astoniz]

Yeah I like your seat .. I can visit to cockpit because your near there :D

[bejasis]

I HOPE YOU CLOSED THE WINDOW BEFORE TAKEOFF :)

[n0y0x]

I miss flying. I wish I had the money and need to fly again :(

[gibbonsk9291986]

was this @ paris charles degaulle ? (CDG) or somewhere else ?

[rrz518]

@gibbonsk9291986 SFO

[gibbonsk9291986]

ive flown air france alot to paris and back to boston but the majority of my flights were on a 747-400, airbus a340-300 and the airbus a330-300 or 200. but the cabin crew we're friendly when i flew with them cause i was so fluent in french they decided to speak english with me when i was speaking french @ them for things i needed in flight. but im always traveling first or business class with any airline :0 !

[chloe7829]

The AF upper cabin seems to be just another cabin. You should have seen the diningroom we had there on the new 747s, fresh flowers on each table, tables for two or four, stewards in white dinner jackets, comp champagne.

Wolf Alex, ex PanAmer

[justinlimkt]

the steward's really cute :-)

[rrz518]

@justinlimkt

Yes he was. But he was pretty snotty towards non-French speaking people. He was very hospitable to French speakers.

[justinlimkt]

@rrz518 - that's a pity, but it's nothing new really. they are famous in taking pride of their national language that is one thing for sure... :-)

[rrz518]

@justinlimkt

Well I love that language, but it doesn't give them the right to be obnoxious to customers who don't speak it. That flight left from San Francisco, I was in a premium section of the plane, etc. I wasn't going to France either, the flight just happened to connect in Paris. It was remarkable how warm and courteous he was to the French speakers (the people next to me were Canadian, not even French), and how little attention paid to me. Perhaps his English wasn't very good

[faridjabba]

@justinlimkt fk hot

[TheF1Freak96]

Are the seats you finally are Business Class or Economy Class?

[rrz518]

@TheF1Freak96 Premium economy

[judithbjini]

There's something I don't like about the upper deck of 747s. The ceilings are so low, that even in nicer classes, it feels cramped.

[lauriersroses333]

@judithbjini i agree,i have fown 747 several times,in main-deck and upper-deck,it feel cramped :) last june i tok the a380 twice it different,very spacy and much more comfortable

[SuperRetard22]

French people polite? You gotta be KIDDING me????????

They are like the worse unhelpful people in Europe =S

[judithbjini]

@SuperRetard22 Germans are way worse than the French. At least the French speak a pretty language when they're being rude.

[SuperRetard22]

@judithbjini

Maybe, I dont know :)

I am nice but many people that I know says that Frenchpeople are rude and doesnt really help you when you lets say have drive lost in Paris.

[lauriersroses333]

@judithbjini it not true!!rude ppl are everywhere in every countrys

[soaringinflightguy]

@SuperRetard22 AMEN...

[lauriersroses333]

@SuperRetard22 i dnt agree :) PURE-frensh ppl are very polite

[QF4976]

Why Upstairs

[rrz518]

@TonyMcGriffles

Canon Powershot S5 IS (i think) Great photos plus records vids in stereo sound

[ERIC052778]

Merci beau coup pour le video :)

[KirbzSSBB]

how do they set up the thing to enter the airplane?

[jbingham615]

@KirbzSSBB Are you talking about the gate walkway thing?

[DCFCRULE247]

@KirbzSSBB The jet way??.. I think its always there!.. The plane taxi's to it. and they connect to the door!

[KirbzSSBB]

@DCFCRULE247 ooo lol!

[kylecubed01]

@KirbzSSBB So damn lucky where were you headed and in what class?

[rrz518]

@kylecubed01 San Francisco to Paris, and then to Madrid.  This is a premium economy class area.

[sundevilfan4]

where were u going?

[SouthAfricanAirways1]

I'm flying Qantas Business Class from Sydney to Johannesburg in the the upper deck. Was the noise better and service more personal?

[ipodkid822]

i thought the upper deck had firstclass seats????!!!!????

[prnces858]

my god it seems like u have to go to the world and back just to get on the dang airplane hahaha

[macospat]

How do you get the upper deck seats?

[tyfi109]

Bonjur Missure... (In a really high voice) LOL

[XxNiMr0D7000xX]

I cant wait to take a Delta 757 from Copenhagen to JFK and then TO LAX

[applesweeter]

Dear All,

I have soem questions about psychology:

(1) Why do we love flying?

(2) Why do we enjoy to seat at the upper deck of an Boeing 747 than the lower deck?

(3) Why do some of us like 747 more than a380?

THANK YOU IN ADAVNCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

[MyPilot747]

u look short or u have the camera down low

[jbingham615]

@MyPilot747 omg, this is funny as hell lmfao

[Darryl39345]

Were the two men on the opper deck pilots or flight attendants? I couldn't tell.

[luilli007pr]

how many hours does the trip ?

[physcovideos]

omg 1:04 is like the pathway near the end of Final Destination

Death is going to chase u now O_o

[tyfi109]

Heh, I love the way that lady says Bonjour Missure (Don't know how to spell in French) lol

[rpg481]

you lucky becouse the upper deck is the best seat's

[rpg481]

you lucky becouse the upper deck is the best seat's

[wdh4721]

packed in like sardines.

[AnalgesicBalm]

Oh that old man's tongue is lovely.

[cookiecave1283]

Omg!! Air France have Economy upstairs on the 747?? I have to go sometime!! Thanks for uploading!!

[Squarestudios1]

@cookiecave1283 ye im goin on air france 747 nxt month =D

[bryanb16th]

is that coach/econ upstairs?

[rodrigovargasrios]

Great video stud, I had this plane in my flight from Paris to México city, the upper deck is also "Premium Economy" is just for frequency flyers members and als if you pay for it its for the full ticket.

Roy*

[luiscosta1992]

i had been on the upper deck and its the coolest part of the plane its more comfortable

[charlieiscool1000]

nice vid which airport was this charles de gulle?

[jacobs088]

French people are so nice and polite

[oliverlebot]

thats cuz they stink

[backintack]

@jacobs088 some of them lol

[soaringinflightguy]

@jacobs088 lmfao! Yeah sure...when pigs can fly.

[faridjabba]

@jacobs088 i disaagre

[lexlov250]

@faridjabba I agree I was the France once, and people are so rude they wouldn't answer any question specially if you're a tourist with a map on your hand. But in Germany totally different people are so nice

[MegaFcker]

@jacobs088 Yeah when you are paying them 

[archietherobot]

Back in March 1993(!) I was in Economy Class on the upperdeck of an Air France 747 from CDG to Pointe A Pitre.

Back to Paris (ORY) I was upgraded due to overbooking and it was First Class, in the nose of the 747.

By the way, there was no Business class on these flights, perhaps because it was a flight between France and the overseas territory?

[naisi]

That is not right, there was no First Class on board, you sat in Business Class, tough it's name might have mislead you.

[ChidoriStar]

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sfflyer123]

It is strange that AF uses their upper deck for economy class. In LH, only first class is up there. Most international carriers have their business class there. Strange that AF would put economy up there.

[sinan9393]

this is so sick ;D

economy class in the upper deck ^^

[alanpineda11]

you sir are lucky!!

[fafakuk]

where were you flying to? :)

[d0rkiishchris]

@fafakuk LOL its Air France, and the terminal voice-over was in English. So, I'm gonna bet they're leaving Canada or the U.S. and going to Charles de Gaule (spelled wrong I'm sure) or Orly, but I'm not sure about that as de Gaule is the main airport now.

[Jobafan08]

wow, thats like a dream of mine, to fly a 747 upper deck, haha but im too poor for that xD

[EsotericDesi]

I used to think on upper deck it's always first class... :-\

[peteboy1113]

nice vid, sfo, hows there economy. on the upper deck .

[MrJackanthony]

@peteboy1113 Quite good actually

[peteboy1113]

oh to be rich.

[TrainSounds]

Which airport were you at?

[RK831]

Six per row on the upper deck? I've always assumed that the upper deck was First Class. Where was First Class on this plane?

[neowarrior1]

must be 747-200 airplane.

[kdofe]

There is no First class on AF 747:s, Affaires (Business) class is on the lower deck in the front.

If there is a First Class, it's seldom upstairs on international 747. Usually First is downstairs in the front (more space there) and Business is upstairs.

[tricon909]

How meny meals were on this flight ?and how was the flight ? :)
