Very few success storied reported so far.
I was able to book AF LAX-CDG flights quite regularly, I'm just
worried this option will be gone, at least temporarily...
AF introduced the A380 a long time ago. This will be like their 6th or 7th whale. I imagine the first week or two of service might be well sold, but after that it should be normal.

Also, it should be mentioned that AF and LH compete strongly with each other on these things, so I bet that LH will run an A380 to LAX as soon as they can.
