And BTW, I did have to pay for seat selection. I thought from reading FT that such is normal and as expected.
Thanks.
AIrlines are increasingly suspicious of such activity.The answer depends on when the system raise a flag for an audit. It could be based on the time of booking or on the time of the flight booked. e.g some weeks before flight departure. Many posters here suspect that AF really dislike non AF-flyers and just make it difficult for them if they have never credited flights to their account.
If all pax surnames on the booking match the surname of credit card account , you are probably safer since AF CEO insisted that credit cards are a big source of income for FB.
