I recently had the opportunity to experience French bee’s premium economy class, Premium Blue, on a roundtrip to Paris (ORY). My trip began out of Miami International Airport ,where I was able to seamlessly check my bag and receive a printed boarding pass in the dedicated line for Premium Blue passengers.

I soon found my gate and began gathering all my travel necessities for the nine-hour flight. Premium Blue passengers were given a dedicated priority line to begin boarding; in no time I was on the plane. Upon entering I was greeted by the staff who pointed me in the right direction to my seat. Inside, the seating followed a 2-3-2 configuration. A branded French bee pillow and blanket were neatly folded in my seat, waiting for my arrival and setting the tone for the flight.

After settling in I was greeted by a flight attendant with the option of juice, water or Champagne. I decided on Champagne as it seemed the best way to begin my trip. While sipping on Champagne I familiarized myself with the vast options on the large entertainment screen in front of me. Many movies and TV shows were available along with interactive games to keep passengers entertained. I particularly enjoyed the accessibility of the plane camera and the map of the flight’s progress.

Before takeoff the crew distributed an amenity kit that included large blue socks, a toothbrush and toothpaste, an eye sleep mask, and earbuds. I was given a hot, wet, lemon-scented towel to feel refreshed and clean before dinner service began. I opted for the tasty chicken Parmesan pasta paired with a dinner roll and a side of butter. Appetizers included a refreshing salad topped with grilled chicken and a side of Camembert and strawberries. For dessert, a rich chocolate brownie and an Almond Joy provided a perfect way to end dinner. Meals were served with choices of juice, soda, water or tea. After dinner I enjoyed a hot tea to unwind and relax during the flight.

During my flight I enjoyed reading Iron Flame, the second book in the The Empyrean Series. The seat was spacious, and the pillow and blanket were a great touch, adding to my comfort. I was able to catch up on some much-needed z’s.

I woke up just in time for the breakfast service. Breakfast included strawberry yogurt, a roll with jam and butter along with a croissant. The meal was just the right amount and was paired with juice of my choosing.

We soon arrived in Paris (ORY), where I seamlessly secured my checked bag. Overall, my flight was effortless and enjoyable. French bee delivered an exceptional Premium Blue experience from start to finish.
