Flying them mid-nov, will report back here if no one does by then. I actually did not notice they were “Comfort seats” but I called AF to select my seats after booking (for some reasons I could t do it through the app, but this could very well be the reason) and asked for front of the cabin. AF agent booked it like a regular seat and didn’t mention anything (though I’m platinum, so perhaps she didn’t bother explaining it to me). Regarding the middle seat, I would t know, but we are two pax and seating next to each other.
