Cheers!
That's really confusing indeed because the press release states 27 seats (for the 787) whereas the seat map only shows 24.
Now, according to this link, the Super Economy (within the Economy Comfort zone) fits perfectly the description:
With our Super Economy option, you have a chance to indulge and enjoy the company of yourself at peace on our neighbor free seats.
The seats are located at the front of the Economy cabin whereby the middle seats are not occupied to give you the extra comfort.

Will call tomorrow to clarify this point as it looks too good to be true

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.
Which seats have been assigned to you? i.e. 11A+11B or 11A+11C
Otherwise, yes please report it back.
Other members will find it useful. My next KQ NBO-CDG flight is only in December.
