Yes, I found this "loophole" thanks tio the folks from Flight-report. Here is an extract from their
term of carriage :
You can buy tickets "from Italy, France, from Europe leaving from: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, as well as from Brazil, Canada, Japan, South Africa, Thailand, the United States of America and Venezuela"
And the following will apply
"The fare is applicable for a ticket used fully, in sequential order for the specified journey and on the specified dates. As outlined in the General Conditions of Carriage, any non-compliant use noticed on the day of travel may incur an additional fixed-rate fee at the airport for the amount of: €125 on short-haul flights (metropolitan France and Corsica), €250 for a medium-haul flight in the Economy cabin, €500 for a medium-haul flight in the Business cabin, €500 for a long-haul flight in the Economy or Premium Economy cabin, €1500 for a long-haul flight in the Business cabin and €3000 for a long-haul flight in the La Première cabin (or the equivalent in the local currency.)
By way of derogation from the paragraph above, for passengers with Air France tickets purchased in Italy through
www.airfrance.it or by means of Air France ticket offices, travel agencies or Air France call center, the following applies.
Such a passenger is not required to pay an additional fee due to a new calculation and any administrative costs if you inform Air France that you cannot, for any reason, use the ticket for that flight and still want to use the ticket for additional routes or, in the case of multi-destination trip, the return routes.
Such communication must take place within 24 hours after the departure time of the first unused route of the outward flight or, if the departure time of the return flight is within 24 hours of unused flight, at least 2 hours before departure of the return flight by calling our Call Center at +39 0238591272. In the absence of such notice, such passenger will be treated in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph."
