Air France Frequence Plus - AF A380 to 777

I was scheduled to be on an A380 last week from CDG to IAD and it ended up getting switched out for one of those 777s. Huge disappointment since that was pretty much the reason I even took the trip. Has this happened to folks before?

I once had a puny domestic 737 switched for an international 777... I was actually annoyed by the lack of wifi.

Yes, and even more-on the way to the AF DO. Things happened.

If you wanted to fly on A380, you can call and request rescheduling for the trip, and in my experience they will accomodate (especially if you are on PV/J/F fares). But, just call and ask. If you get "no", ask for a supervisor, or call again :)

One of the AF A380 is in the "hanger" due to a tech problem, so they are moving all A380 around. Montreal did not get them, then they pulled them out of JFK for few days, and IAD was next on the list...

Moving to the AF forum.

Hi,

Same for me :
I had booked the AF990 (CDG - JNB) on May 20th, and they switched from A380 to 777-300.
The day before and after are indeed in A380.
Probably a maintenance planning obligation ?
