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

I experienced some trouble choosing seats on the leg of my trip operated by another carrier (Delta). First it let me choose seats from the seatmap. But then I got error messages, and the portal wouldn't let me go any further. When the error cleared it did not have the chosen seats I had tried to pick for that leg. So I reached out to AF customer service, who were very nice and prompt and helpful. They confirmed this was because it was operated by another carrier and I should reach out to CS of that carrier, which I thought made sense and I was happy to do. I engaged w Delta's CS, who were just as nice and prompt and helpful as AF's. The rep offered to stay on with me while I finished the booking, at which point I could pass her the ticket #s and flight details and she would help me choose the seats. After all that, when the booking confirmation came up on the screen it did have the original seat #s I had tried to select in the first place and the Delta rep confirmed those seat selections did go through to Delta. It just took a long time and was confusing. I think it's fine either way, to be able to choose the seats or not be able to and give the details to a rep at the other carrier, but it caused a lot of confusion for me and used a lot of time getting the erroneous error message and after all that it took the seat selection anyways.

AF used to be all about service, now it is about making as much money as possible selling the options like any low cost airline !

Honestly, your prices are not decently advertised : I booked for Paris May 22 ( in one month !! ) and it says starting $498 : when I then go to select, apart from 1 flight at 7am in the morning ( 😕) all your flights are at $872 and on top of this, it is “light” meaning that if you want to bring one piece of luggage, you have to add $100 ( really ?? ) more : This is price gouging and really not acceptable. We are not even in July / August. A flight to Paris in May should not cost more than $500. Back and Forth, it cannot be more than $1000, which is already a top premium price for a simple cross atlantic flight. And this is just flying coach and you have to add a cost for your seat on top if you do not want to end in the middle of a row. AF should not do price gouging. On top of that, being a Flying Blue Member does not even bring any advantages any more. when you are Silver, you cannot even access the lounge any more. This used to be the case. AF was all about service, now it is all about making as much money as possible like any low cost airline.

Seat Allocation on Paris to San Francisco Flight

My dissatisfaction is with the seat allocation I experienced during my recent flight from Algiers to San Francisco. My booking reference is TASC8W Upon booking my ticket, I opted to pay extra for the privilege of selecting a two-seat place, as my husband and i prefer the comfort that this option provides. However, upon boarding the flight, I was disappointed to discover that we had been allocated a seat in a row with four seats instead. This deviation from my selected seating preference was not only unexpected but also significantly impacted my overall flight experience. As a frequent flyer with Air France, I have always valued the convenience and reliability of your services, but this instance has left me feeling dissatisfied. I understand that there may be limitations and constraints when it comes to seat availability, but as a paying customer who specifically chose and paid for a certain seating arrangement, I believe it is reasonable to expect that my preferences are honored whenever possible.

Website and app are not easy to navigate and can be confusing and frequently we have to put again the same info about our passport and emergency contacts although we have done it repeatedly. In addition I found out that my passport was appearing as if I have 2 separate passports. This is quite time consuming as we constantly receive email stating something like; "FOr your upcoming trip, info is missing please click on this and fill up the missing info. Also the WIFI rarely works even if you take the paid option. Many times , there was no wifi at all although the wifi sign was imprinted on the plane walls and on the website. We had more than once defective screen in the exit chairs, the screen would not hold and would fall back and occasionally injuring the leg of the passenger. A real lack of good maintenance. The flight attendants are always wonderful and try their best but one could tell that these issues we common and embarrassing to them .

I booked a business class round-trip from Chicago-Paris for the French Open to (hopefully) see Rafa play. When I changed the return to stay three extra days, there were no business class seats, so I booked a seat in Premium Economy. Air France did not automatically refund the price difference to my credit card, so I called them. I was told that requesting a refund now would cancel the entire booking, and that I needed to wait until I completed the return trip. The rep couldn't even tell me how much the refund would be, even though I purchased the ticket in dollars. Either Air France has a poorly-designed computer system, or they want to keep the refund I am due in the hope that I forget. That's incredibly disappointing. I booked Air France because I expected they would provide a better experience than flying on United. Now I feel foolish for making that decision.

A lot of improverments needed

A lot of improvements needed. Multiple errors while making a booking with miles especially, itineraries with partner airlines not showing as available, dates and amounts showing incorrectly, for example the date will show 45,000 miles, but when you click on it, the lowest amount is 67,000. if you click on a date, a different date will appear on the next page, names of your preferred travelers don't populate, so you have to enter the names of your family every time you purchase tickets, including DOB, passport, address, email, etc... And a lot of times the web site freezes and you have to start all over, or call an agent. Every time I open the web site, it's asking to choose my country and language. It's all relative: AirFrance is better than LOT or Turkish web sites, but far behind the modern web sites of American/Delta/United.

Airfrance pays attention to almost every little detail with a smile

Airfrance pays attention to almost every little detail, starting with a smile. The entire process for international travel with Airfrance runs so smoothly from the moment you step In the airport. There is always an employee close by to assist with any need. Airfrance has the best informational "buckle up" airline safety video! Not only informative, it relaxes you into your seat, filling you with excitement about the adventure you are about to explore!! Bravo. I took a star away this time, as my return flight in the back back of the plane. One should feel welcome and special no matter where you are sitting.The customer service of the crew in the back was not 5 star, not sure it was 4 star either.

Two things need improve: 1) the log-in process is very painful, can't receive one-time passcode in time either through SMS or email; after multiple fails, then I noticed that I can actually use password to log-in , although this option is so small and hided, very difficult to figure out. 2) After purchasing the miles, the base miles posted to my account immediately, but the bonus miles didn't post after 24 hours, which made my booking process interrupted (I need those additional miles to complete my booking) and anxious about those tickets that I am interested being gone by the time I got the bonus miles. (If I can get the base miles immediately, why not get the bonus miles at the same time?)_

The main difference between competing companies is "SERVICE". Air France has proven itself to me over the years, 95% of the time. The staff of Air France is simply the best on the ground and in the air. Recently, I was caught in a war zone, and I decided to leave the area earlier than my appointed date. I was disappointed when Air France was not sympathetic to my request for a change in my ticket to flee the area. I bought a one-way ticket on another airline and made my way to safety. After reaching my safe zone, I called Air France and gave them all the facts and was quickly given a full refund. I have been flying Air France for the past 23 years. Keep up the good work.

Online booking needs a major overhaul. I had to book one way flights instead of round trip in order to get the flights for the route and times I wanted to travel. I tried calling AF help several times only to be told that the flights were not available. It would be great if options included flight tickets classes and a flight date grid. In addition on both AF app and online AF web site appeared to crash, or I would get the message that no flights available that day. In the end after hours of failed booking attemps I found a "work around" by booking one way flights on the dates and times I needed. The process was time consuming and frustrating to say the least

Air France app often has bugs when you try to purchase tickets online. It either freezes up or leads you to believe the booking is complete (no error message), then you find out it didn't work. In this day and age for a major airline to have such a clunky app. one have to use a desktop for a simple plane ticket purchase...ce n'est pas acceptable. on n'est plus dans les années 90. Aussi, ce n'est pas cool qu'on ne dise pas en arrivant si le bagage à main doit aller en soute - ne décidez-vous pas en dernière minute quand l'embarquement commence. Sloppy business practice. Weigh and measure bags earlier! Sinon, généralement les repas à bord sont bons.

On our first effort to book a first class flight our session got timeed out as we were puting in our credit card information. When we tried again 10 seconds later the same flight had now doubled in price. We tried a third time for a different date and as soon as we clicked to choose the flight at at the displayed price the price changed in the time it took to click to the next page...in one second the price changed from what we clicked on. Then after finally choosing a flight we had a problem putting in passport numbers for both passengers. Long story short we had to call phone help 6 times to complete the online transaction.

Very good soft product and poor hard product!

While the personnel and the food were excellent the hard product has gotten very worn and in need of an update. Also, the poor boarding process at our starting location (BER) meant the plane arrived late and our bags were not transferred to our flight to LAX (AF72). While I was assured that there was enough time and AF72 left late our luggage was not with us. I have now received my bag, at 2 am this morning, while my wife has not received her bag and with very few updates. Our Apple Air Tags show us that both bags were on AF66 arriving LAX yesterday, 4 January, her bag is still at LAX with zero delivery information.

Hand Luggage (size enforcement)

First and foremost, I like everything about Air France. Yet, I don’t know if I can continue to fly with them. I am a professional photographer who frequently travels to Paris, Cannes and St,Barth. I travel worldwide with the ‘Pelican Air Case’. The dimensions for this case carrying my photo equipment is made to the size restrictions of major airlines. However, I do not pass the size test at CDG by 1 millimeter! Last time I was lucky that after an hour debate a supervisor was so kind to let me fly. I unfortunately can’t count on this for the next time and checking in the photo equipment is not an option.

Surprise-The site was for French people who used English

I didn’t notice that the site was for French citizens although it was in English. I got all the way through buying my ticket in US dollars but then when I tried to buy travel insurance (via Allianz) there was a statement that I had to attest I was French. I am not French. I live in the USA. So I had to start over. When I did so, my plane ticket had increased by about $75.00. I bought the ticket but was not happy. I’d think that since I entered the site in the USA and it used English and prices were listed in US dollars that the site would assume I live in the USA,
