Reviving this thread.

My LAX-CDG flight is in 7 days.

There hasn't been any O-Class inventory on either the outbound or inbound.

Does AF release any O inventory this close to departure? Or can I pretty much count on sitting in PE at this point...?

I checked every day up until departure on my last ATL-CDG. If I were you, I'd plan on PE and start looking for extra padding for your rear end.

They can release some until the day of departure. But LAX is a very premium-heavy route so...

+1 = good summary. No harm in still looking but be ready for PE...

Hah! I don't think it will be too bad. I have a very bad herniated disc so I am very sensitive to bad seats. But I travel about 75-100k/miles per year in Y so I think I will be okay.

I have an EF alert set up and still check manually.

There are quite a few J seats (25 as of today) left so I can hope. haha!

I've flown DL and KL Business Class internationally but never AF. I'd like to try it.

To be honest, my favorite Y seat is 88A on the AF A380. Bulkhead.....upper deck...and the little window ledge, which is PERFECT for curling up onto a pillow and actually sleeping. I even like this more than the EC bulkhead seats on Delta I get for free for being a Platinum Medallion! And those bulkheads are so far away from the seat that I can't even touch them with my legs when sitting!

I'll post my thoughts after my flights. Looking forward to spending a week in Prague!!!

Thank, guys! ^

In A388, the 1st row of PV is an exit row, so huge legroom as for row 88 in Y.
Enjoy PRG, a fantastic city
