Despite the stress free messages from AF, it was quite chaotic in French airports yesterday.

My wife was back from BOD yesterday. One time the ROC rebooked her flight, the second time they did not even rebook her, just sending and SMS informing about the new cancellation. I had to call AF to rebook her on the last flight to CDG which was finally cancelled.

Thus, the last flight to Paris left BOD at 8pm, initially scheduled at 3 pm !

Nevertheless, big up to AF staff on board and on the ground at BOD for reopening both the check-in and the boarding to fill the last 3 seats on the aircraft with waitlisted pax ^
