2020 trip
Hi - new guy here. Thanks for all this great info. I used to fly AF business all the time until I moved near Chicago... and needed to avoid the dreaded old A330s.
Anyways, I was browsing the AF site the other night and found special fares from NCE to ORD (via CDG) in Business for $1400 round trip. I bought two tickets for my parents thinking that the price was too good to pass up, even though it would be the old business cabin. Thanks to the forum, I now realize that it will likely be the new cabin! Of course, I can see that it is the new layout in my reservations but you never know with last minute equipment swaps. Hopefully all the A330s will be retrofitted by next July.
