TRAVEL REVIEW
Review: Air France Business Class Airbus A220 (CDG-VIE)
To kick off the return portionour royal visit to Versailles, I flew Air France’s Airbus A220-300 business class on the 1hr30min flight from Paris (CDG) to Vienna (VIE).
I’ve flown all of the major (and many minor) airlines, including every international first class cabin.
