Got on the plane, seats much better then expected, but then, last time I travels Air France in an intercontinental flight was in 2009 on the trip to Houston.
Real glad with the comfort of the seats. Listening to lots of French conversations, I wonder why I am surprised, after all it's a flight to France, I am the complete foreigner onboard. Not only the fact that I am Portuguese, but also since living in Munich makes me feel comfortable while hearing German language even though I don't speak it any good. It does feel refreshing.
The middle seat in the row takes a bit out of the comfort. Will try to not give them a hard time moving in and out of the seat. Take the moment before takeoff to get to the toilet and change. Since the first time I got comfy clothes for the trip, it seams much more enjoyable. Although coming onboard with comfortable clothes, it is never good to sleep in polos. The fabric makes me feel like sleeping on a sofa, we can do it, but it's far from sleeping on the bed. So decided to pack into the backpack some comfy training clothes.
Managed to get to the toilet and changed. Get all that will need for the trip onto the seat area, and am ready to depart.
Let's enjoy the flight, and try somehow to sleep. Will need to be fresh on Friday, for the last day on the job.
The airplane is a Boeing 777-200, the plane quite is quite big, sits a lot of people. Business class cabin is quite wide and sits 7 people within 2 aisles, a combination 2x3x2.
Going to try again the winning procedure from last time. Take a sleeping aid pill to get to sleep, and repeats again the process tonight when I get home. Seams that using the sleeping aid pill to force your body into adaptation of the different timezones much better than just trying to adapt at the regular pace. I have always suffered a lot to recover from jet lag, especially when returning from the states back to Europe. Will see how it goes along gthe week.
The dinner served was quite good actually. Air France does take care of business class food..
As soon as I got onto the plane, I setup the Withings to track sleep. Will be nice to get an image of how the sleep went. Nice gadget this one. Bought it at Best Buy and have been tracking sleep and daily activity so far. It might be a nice tool to get an extra caution on health.
Falling asleep was quite good and fast. Somehow still managed to see the last Tom Cruise movie "Oblivion". Had the feeling that would fall asleep in the middle of the movie, but didn't happen. So must confess the movie kept me awake and interested all the time. Not quite like "Wolverine" where I managed to fall asleep twice during some very boring parts of the movie. When I woke up had the temptation to see "Iron Man 3", but the small screen aboard the aircraft takes out the grandiosity of seeing the movie in a proper movie the at her with a huge screen, surround sound, and all the works. Definitively I feel would be a loss to all the experience of watching the movie.
After landing the connecting flight will be within the next 50 minutes. The terminal seems to be just adjacent, but we still have to go over passport control. So seems to have to be quite a bit of rush to get onto the next flight. No time to have a look at the airport. Knowing and having experienced a bit about flying, I will definitively will have to wait some hours for some flight in the future, just like I have already experienced in the past, in this same airport. Actually this year back in March.
