Thanks - useful info. Is this why the A380 I was scheduled to fly on tonight (AF 7) has apparently been replaced by a boring B777 and my nice window in the front cabin by an aisle seat?? Do you know if AF007A is actually taking passengers? If so anybody knows if there is any chance they might let me on it if I arrive early at the airport or will they stick to the old beast instead?

are you sure you were supposed to be on the A380 ? because normally AF006/AF007 is a B77W on wednesday ?

Yep, was flying yesterday - which was Thursday! This being said, AF people at JFK were lovely: arrived early, asked if I could be on the 17.30 A380 since they had changed the plane for my flight as a result, there was no problem at all and am thus having a bit more time at CDG where I am currently awaiting my LHR connection! ^

Do - although this was a pretty 'exceptional' coincidence I guess that they decided the previous day's flight was delayed by 22h40 making a -1hr30 transfer doable! I also hope that with the arrival of more A380s in the fleet, these unexpected aircraft changes will slowly disappear. Enjoy the flight, it is still a lovely bird in my opinion!!

(This compared to the LH approach, which is starting to fly the 380 on domestic routes, until they have 2 and will then start the JFK run)
