I'm curious as to what sort of seating arrangement would be unacceptable, meaning that you would not book if you could see the seating arrangement in advance.

Thanks guys. I was able to see the seat map for Round Trip tickets but *not* multi-destination tickets.

My concern is that for SFO/CDG, sometimes only 1-2 seats are available in Premium Economy. I learned this by plugging in dates for the roundtrip. But when I tried to book 3 seats in PE for SFO/CDG/Italy, I was able to buy the 3 seats but now that I know that only 1-2 seats are available, then how does AF handle it if only 1-2 seats are available but they are selling 3 seats in PE? I need to have the 3 seats together as we are a family of 3. So what wouldn't be acceptable is if I buy 3 seats in PE and there are only 2 seats available in PE on the seat map.

Thanks
Michael
