Lucky enough to do at least one trip to Paris for the Salon sitting up the front of the bus (a 1-11 500) travelling with a friend who worked for DA. Seats presumably were standard but I do recall the food was definitely a cut above normal airline fare - on the return we had three seats so left the table down between us for parking cups and so on - the hosty serving the first course - smoked salmon - placed a plate on all three tables and since John didn't like smoked salmon, I ate all three - what a piglet!
