Looking forward to seeing what AF is like these days, and especially the new seat!
SheldonB14 How did you get on with AF in 9D&H? I have also been able to select these seats when I was making a booking last week (for March 2025). I also have no FB status though we did fly AF last year to Thailand and have have minuscule amount of FB points as a result. 9A & L were already booked or blocked but unexpectedly I was able to select these 9D&H. I am aiming to keep my expectations in check that we might get moved but no idea if that is common in this scenario. At the end of the day any of these seats should be great and I'll still be happy if service is similar to that we experienced last year when we managed to snag a bargain upgrade from PE when checking in online but in the old 2-3-2 config.
1D&H was and is still available but I thought the smaller cabin may be nicer and possibly less chance of being shifted from row 9 than row 1.
Flying out on KL and have been able to reserve 1A and 2A also.
