Onboard, two flight attendants warmly welcomed me to my seat. Finally, we received the green light to board and I headed down the dedicated first class jetbridge. There, however, we waited several minutes because the crew was not quite ready for boarding. Pre-boarding had already begun and we simply bypassed the line and stepped right in the jetbridge foyer. I was happy to enjoy a late lunch prior to boarding.Ībout 45 minute before scheduled departure, my escort returned and took me to the gate. So bad that it pays Qantas for access for its first class passengers. But, to put it bluntly, Air France has recognized that the Korean Airlines lounge is horrible. That may strike you as odd, considering Qantas is part of the oneworld alliance and a Korean Airlines (from the same SkyTeam alliance) first class lounge was nearby. After clearing security, my escort took me to the Qantas First Class lounge at LAX.

There was no need for that today as the PreCheck line was deserted.

Normally, escorts will cut in line and take you to the front of the security line. Another agent was summoned to escort me through security and to the lounge. An agent working the business class line signaled for me to come over and quickly checked me in. I found the first class check-in occupied by a couple arguing over checked bags. In the end, I only arrived about two hours before my flight.Īir France departs from the Tom Bradley International Terminal at Los Angeles International Airport. Still, I wanted to leave enough time to enjoy the full ground experience at LAX. I was on my way to Germany for Christmas and had a lot to do before my flight departed. In fact, I walked away even more impressed. Despite dangerously high expectations, the experience did not disappoint. After sitting at the top of my bucket list for years, I finally had the chance to try Air France La Premiere First Class from Los Angeles to Paris.
