Well, at least they won't be welcoming me in their white sneakers? It doesn't make sense that I get FAs in Christian Lacroix suits and high-heels on the long-haul flights and then "joons" in their tracksuits on the medium-haul ones, does it? I feel like I have been kind of downgraded. What ever happened to French chic?

I think that AF is the first one to completely replace its "flagship product" so to speak with a low-cost one (even though they say it's not low-cost but something in-between). All other major flag carriers still fly their best product to LIS from their main hub(s), such as Lufthansa, KLM, Swiss, British Airways, Iberia.
It's disappointing and they will probably regret it.
