A380 Inaugural flight from JFK 2 CDG

Last weekend we won 2 seats on the inaugural a380 on airfrance from JFK 2 CDG. Given 2 days notice, what better way to spend a weekend. Off on saturday night, arrive sunday, lunch with Donald Sutherland, dinner at Napoleon III's hunting lodge in the Bois de Boulogne, then a quick calf's head lunch with a spot of Volnay before flying back home. Spending 2 action packed days with your honey in the city of love --- priceless !!!
