What the email fails to mention is that we currently receive snacks etc. for free. Nice way to spin a downgrade in service!

I can see the reason for sending Joon to BCN as the new lower cost brand may in the future be able to feed traffic to some of the longhaul lowcost operations coming out of BCN, and vice versa.
Yet I can't help feeling saddened that AF planes will no longer be serving this route.
I couldn't agree more. How can it be that such a big and influent market is not served by AF planes. It will strongly weaken the AF brand in the markets when JN will replace AF.

From BCN you will see BA, LH, LX, KL, OS planes, even AZ (!!) but not AF. Sad.
