European J class - do FAs usually recollect jackets?
Hi all,
I've only done 2 flights in AF European business class (to FCO and VIE), and I was surprised to see that FAs didn't recollect jackets to hang them in the closet. Several competitors or partners do it (even on an airline like Air Europa...). Is it usual protocol for AF or did I have bad luck?
I know it is insignificant but it's a service I always apreciate..

There is no more wardrobe service in AF C medium-haul for many years unfortunately . This goes back to when they suppressed one F/A on-board and when they densified the cabin (so no more wardrobe space).
A bad thing IMO, as this service is typically something expected in C class.

On top of that, on some routes in Europe they use the A318 which doesn't even have a coat hook at the seat so you have a choice between crumpling your jacket into the dirty overhead bin, leave it on, lay it on the seat next to you, or fiddle with the little lock of the tray table and attempt to squeeze-hang it there. Or just go with the times and dress in silly coloured Adidas jumpers.
