Dear friends,

It is not very easy to know what class is really present on the CDG/MRU flights : PV or Alize ?

The AC (for a flight in July) is a 773. Does it have shell seats ? is there un "upgraded eco meal", like on the Alize flights ?

Should be a COI configured 777-300 (2 rows of J) with Alize.

I don't think it will be Alize.
Don't forget that Alize will receive same seats as PV (shell seats).
But, unfortunately, I would not expect an upgraded meal...
And, in this case, be prepared for a COI meal (no choice, no champage...)

And yes, this is not logical. But don't ask me why...!

Enjoy your time in MRU!

+1. That's something I never understood, especially when you see the prices of tickets between CDG and MRU. And it would not cost AF more to offer the choice between 2 meals, as on any "regular" long-haul flight.

...and as on MK operated flight, wich you can take with an AF ticket...

I explain:
AF coach ticket: you can take an MK operated flight, choice between 2 meals
AF PV ticket: AF operated only..... no choice!!! :confused: :confused: :confused:

OT: I never understood how it is possible that MRU has one of the biggest concentration of luxury resorts (Royal Palm, Saint-Géran and a lot of other resorts), and this destination is operated by leisure aircraft as SDQ or PUJ.
Probably because there's not a lot of people who can fly in premium classes with ther own money.
I don't think private jet would be really an explanation for MRU (and I never saw a lot of them, unlike SXM or NCE!)

Sure enough, as per the other posters, looking at the seat map it shows the 2 rows of J like a normal COI 77W, however, the Premium Economy cabin shows a PV layout like you'd see on a normal 77W 2-4-2 (as opposed to the 3-3-3 in Alize). I don't see this type of 77W on seatguru.com... anyone know if AF is reconfiguring some COI 77Ws to have PV instead of Alize?

Yes, this is the plan.

They will keep the name Alize (instead of PV) for COI routes. As you can see in this article, they talk about a "new Alize seat", but to make it simple, it's the PV seat installed on COI planes.
