I have been using the reward calendar for booking trips in the past - which is an extremely helpful tool. For about two months that tool is no longer available, which makes the process of booking online very tedious. A user needs to check each day and different airports for what they can afford. If you are booking for two people or more it becomes even more challenging. I have called AF, and have gotten a variety of responses. The last one, Andrea at AF said there was a”glitch” and clients and AF booking agents were never supposed to see the calendar of reward travel … rather both groups are supposed to search for flights day by day. The calendar only works for cash purchases. I said “WHAT?” I have been searching this way for a couple of years, and now the “glitch” was fixed by not allowing such a helpful tool to be removed?? Once I hung up, I checked award travel with my husband’s account and “Voila” it worked! However, after checking award travel a few times, it disappeared again. I have recommended people sign up for the AF flying blue program (2 people signed up for your credit card as a result) in the last year. I think you have a good program, however I am not understanding the contradictory responses from your employees and the removal of a very practical and useful trip planning tool, that has no downsides that I can see. Other airlines use such similar tools. It also frees up the phone lines if people can plan their trips online. I suggest you rethink this or fix the new “glitch” if it was unintended.

Dear Air France Customer Service, I am writing to express my disappointment and frustration regarding my recent experience with your airline. I am a frequent business class passenger, and I have always chosen Air France for its reputed excellence in service. However, on my most recent flight, I encountered several issues that have compelled me to inform you of my dissatisfaction. Firstly, there was a lack of competence displayed by the airport personnel and authorities. Despite booking a business class ticket, I was surprised to learn that there was no provision for business class passengers' transportation. This is highly unprofessional and not in line with the level of service that I have come to expect from Air France. Moreover, the wait that ensued was unacceptable. After being informed that there would be no separate transportation, I was made to wait in a bus for over 20 minutes until it was full of passengers. This unnecessary delay caused inconvenience and discomfort to all passengers involved. Additionally, once we finally reached the plane, we were forced to wait an additional 15 minutes inside the bus before being allowed to board. Such delays only serve to tarnish Air France's reputation and detract from the overall customer experience. It is my earnest request that Air France takes swift action to rectify these issues with the airport personnel and authorities. Measures need to be put in place to ensure the smooth and efficient transportation of passengers, especially those in business class. This will not only improve the airline's reputation but also demonstrate a commitment to providing a superior level of service. I trust that Air France, being a reputed and esteemed airline, will take this complaint seriously and address the shortcomings I have raised. I hope that my feedback will contribute to the ongoing effort to enhance the overall passenger experience. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt response and a satisfactory resolution. Yours sincerely, Hicham Bennani

Things dont work if you dont sign up for Flying Blue

because I did not initially sign up for Flying Blue membership, after booking when I logged into Air France it would say I had no bookings. Apparently you have to sign up for Flying Blue membership, and they should say so or do it automatically or have full capability if you are allowed to not have Flying Blue membership. Also when I made another booking for the second leg of journey they could not find my wife's info preventing me from finishing the booking. So I liked the chat option - they efficiently sorted out my problems.

Show bookings I make for friends when I pay for them.

I helped book a ticket for a senior friend, using my points and cash, but I couldn't pull up the booking because it was in his name. He is in his late 80's, not tech savvy, and doesn't have a Flying Blue account. Tickets booked through my account should be viewable by me. Also the dates on the reward receipt are not the correct dates of the flights. I wasn't able to pull up the tickets myself to see that it was an AirFrance error, and spent a lot of time verifying I had purchased tickets for the correct dates.

The speed of the booking process. During the booking process I was asked to enter the first name according to the passport. Since I am a US citizen, our passport does not have the concept of first name. We have the given name which has both the first name and middle name. Suggest that the user interface be changed to suit the country of booking instead of having a single format. I would also suggest that, in every page include the details of to and from including the date and the price to be paid.

I consider the website well done but not the help line.

I consider the website well done. However, I had questions regarding seat selection on its code share partner, Delta. I called the help line. After a significant wait the agent explained the complication in that i would have to call delta to confirm my selected seats for that leg from Paris. He could offer no real help. He stated that the website was the best option for reservations. I felt he should have offered to complete my itinerary on the phone. I had suggested he do so and got no response.

We had to cancel a trip in January due to health reasons. We rcvd vouchers for our tickets after submitting Dr’s note. However, we had also paid for seat selections for two of us across four flights, which added up to $250+. We got conflicting information from three diff agents over 3 diff calls. It wasn’t until we were rebooking that an agent finally helped us with how to reuse that refund. Train your agents better so customers don’t feel like they get the runaround.

apres avoir recu ma carte senior, ai réservé un voyage AR de Los angeles sur Bordeaux. A mon grand étonnement, et après avoir appelé le bureau d'AIr France car le site ne reconnaissait pas la référence de la carte, il s'avère que cette carte n'est applicable qu'au départ de France. Cela est très décevant, et n'est en aucun cas stipulé sur aucune brochure. Très décevant de la part d'une compagnie comme Air France. Finalement, cette carte m'est complètement inutile.

Please allow view of seat selection while initially selecting flights. I often book AirFrance flights on the Delta web site because you can see seat selection before booking. This is incredibly important to me - especially when booking Premium Economy seating to ensure my husband and I are sitting next to each other with an aisle instead of completing the booking only to find out we would be sitting in the middle 2 seats of 4 and paying a lot for that option.

Overall good. But choosing the seats weren't given to me until I purchased the tickets. I didn't like that, I am a tall person having an extra leg room is important to me. I purchased the tickets and when I was given the option to choose the seats, non of the extra leg room seats were avilable, so now I am stock with a standard leg room chair. For the other seats (my family and friends) that wasn't a problem because they are not as tall as me.

Everything was great, beside of the change of equipment which made my chosen seat not available (even after paying a supplement for that chosen seat, then had to pay more money for a seat which was quite uncomfortable) . Otherwise the Air France Team was great, on the ground and even greater onboard the plane ! That is the major reason why I fly Air France, because of the great service onboard by very professional Crew members !

I liked the early warning of a canceled flight but disliked the new booking they made for me. The new booking was one day later and would have taken 14 hours to fly from Southampton UK to Marseille, flying from Southampton to Dublin, to Amsterdam and then Marseille. I then canceled your rebooking and found a flight going from Southampton to Paris to Marseille on the same day. Why didn't Airfrance rebook me onto that flight?

Search Functionality could be improved.

Sometimes the website cuts out unexpectedly when in the final step of making a purchase, and the calendar search functionality for award tickets is almost always inaccurate, rendering the top-level view useless. For example, on a given date, it may say that the lowest price is 40,000 miles, but when you click through, you'll see that prices exist for 20,000 or Promo Rewards of 15,000 or less are present.

I finally was able to book at the promotional price.

Once, I was able to process my reservation things went smoothly, however the first time i tried to book with the promotional rate offered, the website was not working and I was not able to complete the reservation and then when I checked the website again, the price was much more. It took several more times checking the website before I was able to complete my booking at the promotional rate again.

Good flight, disappointing boarding procedure

We enjoyed the flight and the service, however the boarding procedure at CDG was disappointing. We were left about 30 minutes hanging in the bridge leading to the airplane. Why start he boarding procedure if the plane is not ready? In the meantime, one bridge was reserved just for the 4 la premiere passengers, leaving business class passengers together with the the economy passengers

Usually no problems with booking flights and quality service on board or in airports. No complaints. On my latest booking however, the payment was denied during a two stage validation process with VISA or my Bank (Bank of America), despite ample credit. AF needs to check that credit card companies in the US can handle the sophisticated European payment authentication processes.

The web site still buggy, in particular looking for award tickets. Sometime it shows the minimum required miles with date on top, sometime it disappeared. I clicked and scrolled through the dates and it happened all the time. It has been improved from six months ago (I needed to logoff to reset to be functional) Keep up the good work to make it smoother for your loyal customer.

Good site overall. BUT... I am a software developer so I will tell you how to improve it. I found a great deal to go to France from Raleigh Durham on Dec 25 returning on Jan 17. However, it took a lot of trial and error to find that deal. It would be nice if your website could steer people to the promo fairs, which you are obviously trying to sell, and I am trying to buy.

Every flight I’ve taken on Air France to date has been pleasant. I enjoy the layout of the planes (somehow feels more spacious that US planes) & the meal + beverage service is nice. I once visited one of the lounges with a coworker and absolutely LOVED the toiletries (L’Occitane at the time). I’m working towards gaining enough status to get lounge access myself.

The pet price is more expensive than my own but he get locked up in a crate alone. It used to be half the price, witch was already the price of 3 suitcases, and I though that was fair. I traveled many times with my large dog through air France but at that fee it is probably going to be the last time unfortunately. The service otherwise is always great

One problem I encounter, I go to booking to pull out my reservation, there is no space to put reservation code. It is frustrating. It used to be better, fast and efficient. Now it took me a while to pull out reservation. It seems that AF is going backward. I've been flying with AF for 25 years plus, I find it's more complicated now to use your site.
