Hello,

Reference: https://www.internationallawoffice.c...e-EU-territory and https://www.euclaim.co.uk/blog/new-c...side-of-the-eu

"However, the European Court of Justice found it unfair, as the second flight is part of an entire journey starting in the EU. Therefor the ECOJ ruled that flights in one booking should be considered one journey and therefor the Regulation applies for both flights."

It is my understanding that the journey purchased from AF is POA-TXL, and therefore EU 261 is applicable to that sector.

POA-GIG could well be a single class aircraft at the time of purchase, but that is irrelevant. The ticket was showing as Business for that segment too, it is booked on J and at the purchase screen there is no information about it being operated on Economy. If this is to "make the connection work" , it's not my problem it's an internal issue of Air France. They sold me a J ticket, and if I don't fly in J it's a downgrade...
