How to order special meals on AF intra-Europe?
I have two reservations, award tickets booked by Delta. I cannot find on the AF reservation details page where to order special meals. It appears it may be where you select your seats, but that pop-up only lets you select seats, not meals. Any ideas?

It may be simply because there is no meal served outside "sucré/salé". It would help if you tell us :
- which route
- approx time of departure
- which class you are flying (C, PE or Y)
- which route
- approx time of departure
- which class you are flying (C, PE or Y)

There should be special meals available, why not give AF a ring?

Does anyone know if there is a link online for requesting a child's meal on AF BA? I didn't see an option for this when I booked our flights some months ago. And don't see it now when I enter our confirmation number, etc. I can call, yes, but I'd like to be able to do it online if possible.

And what flight/class are you looking to order a special meal on? Normally, if you go to the AF manage my booking page special meal options are at the same place as seat selection options.

Update. I was at CDG anyway so asked at the AF counter if I could request a kids meal for my 5 year old. The response was "c'est automatique". But I pressed for confirmation. She looked up my booking # and said that it was already in place. I didn't have the presence of mind to make sure my 11 year old wouldn't be served the kid meal. He is very happy with "adult" food.

Seriously, it is ridiculous, I hope they had enough of the normal meals for you to get too!

The flight attendant was able to find a child (whose meal was not automatically a child meal) who was willing to trade. We also waited at the gate 45 minutes bc there were no meals for the crew. At least everyone got to eat.
