Stimpy, strange indeed. In another recent thread we discussed this route and the plane configuration - the seat maps for current CDG-GIG B747s flights show that upstairs is Economy with 3x3 seating and that it is a "Lignes Internationales" (not "Caraïbes-Océan Indien") configured B747.

The four rows of Business class seating - was this at the very front of the plane or to the right when you enter the plane on your way to the stairs to the upper deck?

I ask because someone had told me that some of these flights are on the old three class 747s, and the front cabin in the nose is still configured with the old F seats ...
