Ahh this is the issue. Imagine if AF just says 'no sorry' after having no-showed. I didn't realise this could only be done after having no-showed. This from AF website I think suggests otherwise...but I'm not too sure!
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.
