Air France or KLM Business Class Advice
Hi all,
I'm planning to book a flight from SFO-BGO in late July, and there is J availability w/ both AF & KLM ... KLM flight would be shorter w/ only 1 stop in AMS, operated by the 787, and get in at a more palatable time of day (1:25PM). AF flight would be an overnight flight on the A350 w/ two stops (CDG & AMS), and arrive to Bergen at ~11PM.
I'm leaning towards the KLM flight as it's supposed to have the new J, but my biggest concern would be an equipment swap to the 2-2-2 layout, whereas the chances of not getting direct aisle access on AF are non-existent (I think?), and I don't mind getting in late to Bergen necessarily. I also would prefer to fly the new J on AF & prefer AF in general, but to save 3-4 hours of travel time, I'd be ok to go w/ KLM in this instance ... how common are KLM equipment swaps, and if they did have an equipment swap, would Flying Blue let me change my flight to the AF option easily ?
