I am flying LYS-CDG on 28/10 (hopefully no equipment swap) and am looking forward to trying out the BEST seat.

Has anyone seen info on the schedule for the new SEA route? I haven't been able to find it. Really hoping it is an evening departure from SEA - that would be soooooo nice.

not yet. What seems to be known is that this AF-operated flight will be in addition to the DL-operated flight.

Every week they announce new B787 routes. I really wonder how they will fly all those with the few frames they have. I think they still have only 2. How many will they have for the beginning of the summer season (end march) ?

They received the third 787 on September 28th (http://corporate.airfrance.com/en/ne...787-air-france) and two others are scheduled for delivery before end of the year.

It seems the SEA route is a 777 instead of a 787.

Flight times aren't as good as I hoped.
Depart CDG 1310 Arrive SEA 1420
Depart SEA 1630 Arrive CDG 1110

Really needs to be pushed back by another couple of hours.
