Does anyone have any opinions on flying on French Bee, a low cost airline that flies international flights? They have a nonstop to San Francisco, but some negative reviews on line. Thanks!

Every airline that flies directly to Paris has negative reviews online.

I have taken it twice. NIce planes, limited service. If you can, spring for Premium Economy. You get meals, early boarding, larger seats. Makes the trip much more enjoyable.

I think one of the main issues of French Bee, and other low-cost airlines, is operational resilience. If a flight gets cancelled, they will only rebook you on their own later flights since they do not have any interline agreements with other airlines. That can be several days later if flights are full.
The risk is low, but if you have to be back home at a given date and cannot afford an emergency flight home, you have to consider this. Perhaps travel insurance can help, but I am no expert on this topic.
