Seat5L
FromCancun-Cancún International (CUN)
ToParis-Charles De Gaulle (CDG)
First row of premium econmy.
You have PLENTY of leg room between the seat and the business class partition.
I could during the flight store a small travel bad to raise my feet up. As well as the seat has leg rest on all rows, it doesn-t have foot reston the first row. I arranged mine (not during take off and landing as well as turbulences.
You have 1 flight attendant for 32 pax (she was very professional kind and smiling lady.
the meal compared to Y is upgraded, with 1 drink service before the main meal. 2 hot dish choice, silver and china ware real glasses real napkin and table ware. extra funny "cone" with quality chocolates and sweats and extra towelette. After meal digestifs (cognac and so). Which makes 9 food elements for the main meal. very good quality.
Only bad point the seat doesn't recline really but slides into its own shell. the seat paddings are quite hard and angles no more than 123 degres. But Air France is upgrading (with time) the paddings Hopefully soon.I Always bring a small flat pillow with me on long flight in Y o Y+ to avoid this lack of padding confort or I use extra blanket !
Over all great flight great crew, great food, confy flight.

Seat45A
FromParis-Charles De Gaulle (CDG)
ToCancun-Cancún International (CUN)
Do not choose this seat !!!
on this version 10 seats accros the seat are already narrow. 17,2 inches. usually you can the space of the curved windows to had 3 inches or 7.5cm to your seat width. BUT there is a straight wall there next to the door. so you loose those 3 inches (7.5cm)more over the emergency slide takes space by 15 inches on 1 side. the tray table and movie screen is in the armrest. it makes the seat VERY NARROW about 16.5 "!

Seat58L
FromParis-Charles De Gaulle (CDG)
ToCancun-Cancún International (CUN)
My seat was the last one by the window 58A. I found it confortable. there is a gap between it and the cabin wall, which means you can not lean against the window, but you can store a small bag, cushion blanket bottle of water books in this space, which is quite convenenient.
Bad point across the aisle there is a bathroom (by58K). Notice that on the other side 58C the is no bathroom but the access dor to the upper cabin crew rest (so less disturbing) I would recommend any seat arranged by 2, from row 55 to 58.
OK it is a the very back of the plane, but anyway if you book a Luggage, you will have to wait for it at Luggage claim, so no hurry to disembark !
the pich is 31-32 I am 5,9foot or 1.76m, and I felt confy. this last row can fully RECLINE and no one is behing you, so after take of just relax and strech.I could cross my legs once the seat fully reclined.
Good point in a way. you are close to the galley. on those flight the crew is only 1 flight attendant for 55 passengers. so expecially during their rest it is difficult to get an extra drink at your seat (1 F/A on duty for 110 pax) at least if you call the F/A has only 2 meters walk to serve you if the person next to you is sleeping.
You got also during the flight between the 2 meals, a soft drink cart, and some snacks for flight over 11 hours on self service.
I noticed also that it is enough far enough from the galley not to be disturd by it's activities. Also the is a wall just behing the row 58 and it does protect from the noise.
on this kind of "vacation flights" Cancun, Montreal, Bangkok, Caribean, Indian Ocean. on the 77W high density, there is no 1rst drink service before the hot meal. But on your tray you will find a little bottle of punch (cocktail) and some salty snacks to go with.
As well as a bottle of red wine and one of water. you can deny it or change for over drinks of course. no digestif (cognac for ex) after the meal tho. but i do not care.
The quality of the main dish was exellent (1 choice only because "vacation" flight but you can order online a meal regarding your health or religion) you can also order (till 24H before flight)for FREE a fish meal. or veg, or better Indian meal or Indian vegetarian (I did it once and was exellent for the French man I am)
Also very good quantities (1 appetizer of quinoa, taboule and smoked salmon) hot meal was creamy chicken with rice, brocoli, and green beans. 1 slice of camembert president. 1 fresh apple crumble. 1 nice yougourt. (so 3 drinks on the tray, as well as 6 different tasty food elements)
Overall an exellent flight with very buys but friendly nice crew, loved my seat too.
I didn't expect such a GOOD and confy flight at all !
Will post about other seat in this plane.
Have nice flights hope my review helped.

Seat45K
FromBuenos Aires-Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE)
ToParis-Charles De Gaulle (CDG)
I chose this seat because it was an aisle with just one another seat at the side. You can stretch your legs because right there the aisle widens a little bit. Another good thing is that you are very close to the back of the plane, which is being close to the largest bathroom and also to the flight attendants' office, where they leave snacks and drinks for the long haul flight.

Seat29J
FromParis
ToDetroit
My seat was better than most I have experienced recently in the economy section. However, my video was so light (no contrast in comparison to others I saw) I couldn't make out what was on it. They ran out of the chicken meal before getting to me.

Seat14K
FromParis-Charles De Gaulle (CDG)
ToPhilipsburg, St. Maarten-Princess Juliana International (SXM)
We travelled from Paris to St Maarten for a sailing regatta and found the upgrade this year from economy last year to premier economy this year a big difference. The leg room and the total space upgrade was a welcome feature of premier economy. I recommend it !

Seat36A
FromParis-Charles De Gaulle (CDG)
ToJohannesburg-Oliver Reginald Tambo International (JNB)
The flight was uncomfortable as there was a hole in the foot deck where I got extremely cold and could hear all the noise from the wheels contracting on departure and extending on landing. This was reported to the air stewardess but I was not offered another seat. I hope that the paneling was repaired. My husband and I will be flying back to Berlin with the same type of aircraft via Paris CDG on Monday 31 March 2014 and we are expecting a comfortable flight with Air France.

Seat47K
FromParis-Charles De Gaulle (CDG)
ToCaracas-Simon Bolivar International Airport (CCS)
Mediocre service and entertainment options from an 80 year young airline with experience in existence, not in customer service. Not to be tried again by any means. For sleeping, the seat cushion is quite comfortable and actually has recline on the last row to my surprise, and to their credit. AF uses aged planes to third world with crappy service with the mindset that they (destinations in third world countries) don't deserve any better than developing countries or don't care much about these things. Very poor and "conquistador" attitude as if it were still a colonial power. Last light meal before landing was quite yummy. I gave it a two, otherwise it would only get one star.
