Thus, without knowing individual preferences Air France could give the "better" seats to their Plats, Golds, etc. And I had the impression that they did. Seems no longer to be the case.
What's odd is that my partner and I (who always fly together) got seated on two different rows (4A and 5C) at the auto check-in so I obviously changed it to 4E and F which were all empty The flight was packed so we wouldn't have gotten more space by placing us in two different rows
