Was just checking out prices to try it out
AMS-LHR-CDG-AMS all in Z quotes for ~460€ in ITA Matrix, and can be booked on AF website and some OTAs, possible to day a same-day "return" but also includes unlimited stop-overs, might give it a try

Just bought a return ticket from CDG to LHR for €310 in J, on the 789 flights.
Seems like a great deal to me for a J class ticket in Europe.

I'll likely catch AF1680 with the 787 in early March.
I will be on this flight, returning the next day to CDG on the 787-9.

Any other FT'ers on Monday's flight CDG-LHR?

Not sure if we will get a water cannon salute. LHR does not see many 787-9s at all.

The Jetscope Production folks will be there for the landing. They might do a live streaming on their Facebook page.

Facebook event update:

Big Jet Productions will be bringing our viewers a special LIVE 'Airside' feature on Monday the 6th Feb at Approx 09:00 (GMT) from London Heathrow, with Air France's 787-9 Dreamliner Reg: F-HRBA, making its inaugural flight into LHR.
We'll be live on the Apron as the Dreamliner taxis to its gate at Terminal 4. Then, once the engines have shut-down, we'll take a close-up 'walk-around' look at the outside of this beautiful aircraft.
Then we'll be heading inside AF789 for a special live guided-tour, looking at the plush, ultra modern cabin.
So set your alarms and make a space in your day for our first 'Airside' show

Well...the single B787 of AF went tech in CAI yesterday arriving from CDG. The return flight (AF567) CAI-CDG last night has been cancelled for that reason.

They've replaced it on the LHR rotation with a 777-200ER this am.

AF, you can't have nice things if you keep breaking them !

It seems the 777-200ER had issues as well, had to return to the gate as well!

Just got off of AF1680 CDG-LHR.

Nice aircraft. One thing to note - row 5 is missing a window.

The service to BKO/ABJ is now due to start earlier (Oct 9 instead of Oct 29), and as an unfortunate consequence, the planned service to ATL is now cancelled (B772 will continue to operate).
