Air France arrives for the first time tomorrow

CrazyAboutCities · June 11th, 2007, 01:06 AM

That's right! I am very curious what would french think of Seattle... New Paris?

kub86 · June 11th, 2007, 03:07 AM

I'm flying back to Seattle from France (did study abroad) on the 29th...I wish I could've flown Air France but their one-ways were double what I found at British Airways.

But I've never flown British before so I'm psyched about that anyway.

HOT!

guinessbeer55 · June 13th, 2007, 03:00 AM

Amazing!!!!!!

guinessbeer55 · June 13th, 2007, 04:36 AM

well i just watched a video about this on king5.com

Air France is apparently a huge hit. This flight is practically sold out until the end of the summer!!! Air France could change the plane to a 777 if things continue as they are!!

Very nice, and it looks like a beautiful day for the first arrival! (Although too bad it wasn't a Boeing product that returned home!)

I'm an airport geek...what approach did they take coming in? From the north or south? My guess with clear weather it was a south approach, but not sure.

And guiness, thanks for the king5.com tip. Nice report, didn't realize this is a result of 12 years of effort! Persistence pays off! Sea-Tac is definitely solidifying its position as the northwest international gateway.

guinessbeer55 · June 13th, 2007, 05:24 AM

no problem!!!

I think the flight path yesterday was in from the north... I like that way much better, you get to see the city.

tmaxxfreak11 · June 13th, 2007, 05:27 AM

The winds on the 11th varied from 230 to 190. That means they came in on the 16's. (From the north)

Only bad thing is it means there will be a whole lot more filthy airbuses landing seatac...

Nope, Air France says that they will probably switch to a 777 if demand is high enough...

sequoias · June 21st, 2007, 01:13 PM

Wow, that sounds like good news about Air France. :-D

kub86 · June 21st, 2007, 04:31 PM

awww my computer won't play the king5 clip!

What does it say?

And I don't have a problem with Airbus.

I have unconditional love with anything French (or at least part french). I'm sure my dad thinks I'm a traitor since he works for boeing.

guinessbeer55 · June 22nd, 2007, 11:50 PM

to sum it up:

-people in seattle finally can get to the heart of europe
-the flight is sold out through to september
-and Air France will likely change the plane to a 777
