BOS is already a BEST city, at least it was this summer for the B777-operated flight. Do you still have a 777 in November ? Because, DL is keeping its flight (B763) year-round for the 1st time, so I'm guessing AF will keep their smallest aircraft (A332) on this route for the 2nd daily flight during the winter season.

AF seems a mixture of NEV and BEST depending on the day.

Guys,
I will be flying GRU-CDG-HKG soon, both flights should be 77W with BEST configuration.
I have flown the traditional Cirrus A LOT on both CX and AA. How AF's "lighter" version compare? Is the difference mainly structural or can you feel any difference in terms of comfort and privacy?
Thanks in advance!

I've flown both CX and AA and I find no difference between them and AF in terms of comfort. Out of the 3, I find AA's version just a little bit more private because of the shape of the seat structure. However, my favorite one is AF because the combination of curvature of the seat, colors, and the texture on the wall,gives me a "cozy" feeling.

Read an article on AF-KL planning to install Wi-Fi on their fleet, A380 was not on their list to be fitted..
Keep your hopes up sure, but I personally think AF will be dumping their A380's in the near future. They are proving to be not such a wonder as everyone was hoping for at launch (EK not included).
