I took a NCE-CDG flight recently and saw no difference whatsoever with my usual NCE-ORY.
I was at the back of the full plane but it did not seem to me that the middle seat was left empty in the first rows as I remember reading about these having a pseudo-C cabin. I might have missed it???

There is no such thing on CDG-province flights. They do it sometimes only if the flight is not full. The only circumstance for which they do leave the middle seat free on purpose is if there are P pax connecting to/from CDG/domestic flight.

Indeed, and it happens also on ORY flights when they aren't full. Moreover, as I mentioned above, CDG-NCE (like all domestic routes) is now sadly operated by Hop crew I believe. Before that, you still used to have a separate abonne section (with open curtain) and small things like ice cubes and some basic spirits (whisky, port, gin I believe). Now it is all Hope with large bottle, no ice cubes, and no alcoholic drinks (with the possible exception of beer I aren't sure).

), afaik, as far as alcohol is concerned. That is the case on CDG-MRS, at any rate.

Still, I happen not to drink the AF version of either whilst I am partial to a little port or pastis when given the option! The AF pastis bottle (and it is my word to use the term extremely loosely) is the tiniest one I have ever seen! (2cl I believe!!)

I'm bumping up this old thread to ask if anyone was able to see the go show/after show option at check-in with a flex ticket (+abonné) itinerary with a connection in CDG.
Currently looking at such ticket and I was hoping to shorten the connection from 4h to 2h by taking a domestic flight later before continuing onto North Africa but the option never appears during the check-in.

For an upcoming trip I am booked in A on the TATL portion and then Y flex on the CDG-Schengen segment. Could I switch to a later CDG-Schengen flight when I arrive to CDG to have a longer layover?
What about the return, would it be possible to take an earlier flight if booked in Y flex and connecting to a TATL flight, to have a longer layover at CDG?
