thanks for the tip i was concerned about the 3-4-3 seating... just went to AF website and it's great that seat selection can be done even though i booked through an agent (some airlines like SQ dont allow if done thru agent although request can be made)...

but yea, on the outbound cant get any of the seats in the 2-4-2 section...on the return 44B is available..but cant select any seats now..system downtime...hopefully later it will still be available
