Well, back from my trip

The AF out to Sing was ok - comfy enough seats, with earplugs and "blindfold" for sleeping which was nice. However, the crappy earphones meant that virtually all of the video/TV content was unlistenable. But aside from that, nice meal, sarnies and noodles at the self-serve area.

Due to the French transport strikes, I copped out and went back KLM via Schipol - again a 777.

The KLM flight pipped AF - much better headphones - and all this month free SMS/Email during the flight - excellent. Also, the same self serve options but they came round with them about 3 times, where as AF left you to it - handy if you're stuck next to 2 sleeping folk at a window. And wine/beer availiable throughout the flight from the galley.

So, next time, KLM for me - if not least because arriving into CDG on a Sunday evening and finding the only cafe shut is crap - and the only bar shut an hour later! T2 is terrible! At least Schipol is properly 24/7.

Had 37A on AF on the way out, and coming back, managed to get 31H (i think) right side middle bulkhead/exit seat with KLM.

Cheers,
S
