I think they are the only European airline which will have 3 flights to SFO? BA, VS, KL, LH all have 2 flights, the others like LX, IB, TP, SK, TK, etc. have not more than just one daily.
Didn't realize that SFO is such a strong market for AF.
Curious thing I noticed: AF 86/87 is served by the 77W on the days that I checked, and with BEST config, but they are not selling La Première on these flights? I checked the seat map for Business for those flights, they start with row 3 and checking Expert Flyer they are showing a seat map for F (1 row 4 seats), so this leads me to believe that its a 4 class 77W? but why close off F for sale?
on a side note, while I avoided the A380 at SFO, still sad that they won't be flying anymore and that the first A380 was returned to its lessor this week...sniff.
How about a PPT-SFO-CDG and CDG-PPT-SFO flight? Would make sense!
