Yeah, it was crazy (in a good way) -- it was a JFK > CDG > TLV flight. We're in the AF lounge having our dinner there instead of on the plane so we can sleep (late PM flight). I get a call, and it's a local AF agent asking if she can come get us because something is wrong. We were in paid Z, so I was a little concerned. She showed up and was very apologetic, pleading with us to take a different flight -- which turned out to be a DIRECT DL JFK>TLV arriving in TLV about 6 hours before our scheduled itinerary, still in Biz class.
For the "inconvenience" we got a decent meal, 600 euros in vouchers, and a direct flight instead of a layover in CDG.
AND, to top it all off, she escorted us through a series of backdoor corridors directly to our new gate, to the head of the line -- a little bit of the "royal" treatment.
Essentially, AF fed us and paid us to take a better flight. ;-)
