PRG - CDG - HKG - CDG - PRG

S letadly CSA, AF, pěšky, dodávkou Citroen AF a úprkem ….

CSA lounge in PRG. Quite good, free Internet and good red wine. Specially usefull when your flight is 1 hour late as mine was.

Gate area for my PRG-CDG flight. Nothing unusual.

CSA Airbus 320 OK-MEI is being loaded with food and luggage for quick CDG trip.

Service on CSA board is definitely not bad

Free food for a short trip CSA way. Hot chicken ciabata, carrot salat, cereal bar. Good wine (same as in lounge ... I had 4th already at this trip) and water. Currently changed catering is IMHO big improvement.

My estimate is 75% seats occupied for this flight. I prefer the new color scheme to old blue one in B737s.

New A320s of CSA have the entertainment system including these nice google-maps like views during landing and take off. You can check what runway we are landing and prepare for long Taxi Tour de CDG. First one that day.

New Terminal E at CDG. Very nice and French. But this airport is a big zoo and I really do not want to transfer there only if there is no other option.

Train going between terminal E and E. No this is not a typo. Unfortunately from Terminal D you have to walk about to 10-15mins. No other possible transport between these 2 terminals.

I was lucky as there was no queue at security check that day. And security people got friendly when they had nothing else to do ... again, quite unusal at CDG.

Nice and spacious AF lounge at CDG Terminal E. Free showers available. Good wine and a lot of snacks. AF should do something with their ageing iMacs they use in the lounges around the world. It is teribly slooo ... oooo .... oooow.

Good coffee, snacks, alcohol etc. Standard in Europe, not too much in US.

Gate area for my flight to HKG.

Playstation at the gate ... Why not to kill some time (or enemies).

Chaotic boarding ala AF. No business and first priority boarding, no elite members first. Just first come first serve ...

Probably the main reason why I will try to stay away from AF (and KLM) new B777. Configuration 3+4+3 is really over the top. Seats are narrow and unconfortable unless you have your girlfriend next to you. I was sitting next to sleeping Chinese guy ... It would be OK if we would not "fight" for space for most of the flight in this new AF version of travel experience. What a joke to wish us "pleasent flight" ...

Cabin crew on board of AF as always. Not very helpfull, not smiling, seems like they would better strike then work. And speaking French to me even I told them I don`t understand.

Food was OK. Wine not, I haven`t even finished this one.

Breakfast about 1 hour before landing. Sorry, I forgot to take the picture of the food. So at least empty plates :-)

Breakfast service ...

Finally here ...
