Just booked ORD CDG in J on AF on A359.
Seat map shows ADHL. This means new configuration, right?
It appears that AF is not letting me select row 1 in any seat.
Am traveling with wife and an older couple (in their 70s) with moderate mobility. Extra comfort for them would be helpful.
Had the thought of putting them together in the middle and wife and I on either end (we don't need to sit together).
Thoughts on what seats we should get? Is row 1 that much more room?
Just to follow up on this.
My wife and I (younger couple) are traveling with elderly family. We made two separate bookings. We booked award tickets through VS for this AF operated flight. VS was able to seat our family in 1DH (which is great! Their comfort is most important). VS agent put wife and I in 2D/H.
When I try to switch our seats to 1A/L, it won't let me. Think it could be worth calling VS back to see if they can do it? or should I just wait and see closer in if 1A/L remain open for us to switch to.
Thanks!
EDIT
Flying Blue just started a status match for USA based flyers. I just completed that and should get approved for Gold. Hopefully that will open up 1A/L for us. Will report back.
