I fell in love with Air France's new Affaires business class seat. And I slept like a baby.

Nobody, especially in France, loves Air France. It is the worse airways in Europe. No offense Mary but I fly business class all the time and I am surprised that you are wearing such clothes in business class. Air France surely would have said something to you about that.

@hughmarcparis I think Air France took a bit of sympathy on me with regard my wardrobe. I had just spent a gruelling week in Germany for business.

Funny you should make a video on AF and then they have an accident at JFK. Strange coincidence...

[RunwayGirlMaryKirby]

@ck1film Strange coincidence indeed....I learned of the accident mere minutes after posting the video.

Nice video! May I ask what job you do? I graduate as airplane technician this year :-) keep your video's posting!

@poelaertpieterjan Thanks! I'm a senior editor for Flight International magazine. But I blog for them at Flightglobal's Runway Girl blog. :-)

@hughmarcparis I don't think it is the worst airways in Europe... Please, don't exagerate ! I've traveled with a lot of European airways and I've seen so many bad things! I flew Business Class several times with Air France, and I agree with you Mary, we feel like in a very chic restaurant and the bed is very comfortable ! Ok, the cabin decoration is not sophisticated as we can see in Lufthansa for example, but it is totally the french style, simple but elegant.

I have been in the Business Class Seats on AF and boy were they great...

If you're comfortable in that seat, who won't be? COOL!
