I jumped at the opportunity to fly Business Class on the Air France 787 on a recent work trip to Egypt and Europe. This flight was between Cairo and Paris – only 4.5 hours but plenty of time to check out the Air France Business Class product. Being a new aircraft the Boeing 787 features the flagship Air France Business Class seat.
This business class flight review covers check-in, the Saudi Business Class lounge at Cairo Airport, boarding, take-off, the Air France in-flight service, the amenities provided and the business class seat which converts into a lay flat bed.
This flight was filmed on AF 567 from Cairo to Paris. See below for more details.

Air France is now using the 787 to ABJ and NBO.
finally, you made it to AF !!
Awesome just awesome. A very detailed yet entertaining review. Keep it up, Dennis 🙂
Foot light is great – am always dropping stuff on the floor.
Dennis “cheers to a great flight” Bunnik
Everytime you upload i get ridiculously excited!!! Keep up the great videos!!
Dennis, I love you man, but you have absolutely no idea what teenagers are like
Brill vid keep up the hard work
Great video as always – thank you very much for sharing your travel experiences
Is there no taxiing or takeoff montage?
Handsome gent! Great report. Thank you for posting. I am going to say you are Greek. When I first looked at you I thought “he looks Greek.” And then I saw you look up Athens and thought “99.9% chance he is a Greek because only a Greek would look up Athens on a Cairo-Paris flight.”
I always wondered why airlines use their int’l planes for flights to Cairo, Beirut, Tel Aviv, Moscow whereas flights to Athens is their European fleet.
1, 2, 1 should be the way all business classes are configured. I really dislike the 2, 2, 2 setup.
I would like to vouch for all teenagers and let it be known that there’s no way an atlas and an outdated instant messenger would be entertaining for hours.
Keep up the great content Dennis! Love your videos and the subtle humour!
Hi Dennis, I notice you always touch the plane when boarding. This is something all of our family does after my youngest daughter started doing it many years ago. If shes not with us we still ‘touch the plane’. Love your videos.
Please do ANA or Japan Air Premium economy. They have lounge access in Narita Airport and there not many video.
Great Video/review as always. Shame you didn’t take the full meal, would be interested in their wonderful French entree’s.
A very helpful/informative video………thanks for posting it & keep up the great work.
Fantastic video
Same as KLM Word Buisness Class but with a different colour palate
Is there a reason why you touched the outside of the plane before you stepped on board? Superstition?
I wonder if the floor light is there in case you drop something?
As ever great video. Could I please feature your channel on mine? Comments on my videos are always welcome
Thank you for such a good video. I know I can count on you for informative and entertaining videos.
#betterthanSamChui
Hmm no issues, are you sure it was Air France? Nothing but trouble each of the 5 times I’ve flown with them :/
Cheers Dennis for a brief yet detailed review. I watched Sam Chui before but now you are easily my favourite aviation reviewer. Please do more economy reviews, majority of air travel happens in the economy sector and I would never travel business or first class even if I had the money unless for a special occasion. Keep up the good work, good on ya mate.
Good to see a business class seat with a push down arm rest for a bit extra width and I would be interested to find out which airlines offer this feature Great video Dennis 🙂
Wonderful video as always! That pyramid is cute
What is your favourite company you have flown with??
Dennis the same business class is available on the boeing 777 300ER
Yayyyyyyyyy another video from dennis bunnik your videos are the best
Nice Vid Denis!
Best flight review channel on YouTube. That’s what I tell my friends: and I work for an Airline!!
Dennis were you worried about terrorist attacks on tourists in Egypt?
so impressed when the national carrier of AIRBUS KINGDOM placed have a 787s family haha :D.
superb flight report dennis, very good
what a top video!
Will you be doing other forms of Travel soon? Plane Travel is fine ,but what about Trains and cruises. Good Video though keep up the good work.
As long as they serve real bean coffee…
I am so broke I can’t even afford to pay rent or buy Ramen noodles. But I love living vicariously through Dennis’s videos. Thank you so much!
Great video Dennis , flew on the AF 787 during the training flights between cdg and lhr
How was the short-haul flight?
