Wow. We were one of the first destinations to get BEST and now we will be spoiled with 789. I think I will actually book the first 789 departure out of PTY. I have a ticket on PTY-CDG for December 15th rigth now, but need to hit Europe earlier anyways, due to work.

This aircraft is will be assigned to the YYZ route beginning Nov 20th.

Does anyone have an information on a B789 route being added to or replacing the 777 service from LAX to CDG?

Goldorak

LAX has not been announced (yet ?) as a B789 destination. I don't know if we'll see this module on this route, but if it happens, I bet it will be on the flight continuing to PPT.

Sorry if this has been asked before but I am going to be based out of LYS for a few weeks so I was thinking about flying the 787 on the CDG - LYS route. Does anyone know how they attribute the Y cabin seats? I cannot seem to be able to book a Y ticket for this flight, which makes sense given that AF doesn't operate one for domestic flights.

I didn't even know about this but got all excited when I saw this beautiful bird on the tarmac this morning!

I used it once in late June, from LYS to CDG. For what I saw, everybody was spaced out - sometimes only one pax per row, it's that huge.
Even with the summer and all the leisure travels, I would expect the 787 to be as empty on your time schedule: too early for LYS people to arrive at CDG from a long-haul flight, LYS isn't as much a leisure destination (the town is quite empty right now, no traffic jam whatsoever), I also don't expect business meetings at Lyon on holidays. LYS is quite doomed, as the crazily expensive shuttle makes planes way less appealing (unless you use Blablacar to reach the airport!), and the trains more so.

You don't even have the time to watch a full movie on this flight, even if you start prior departure, unless it's a Disney movie and you cut off all the songs then it's doable.

I flew the 787 last Saturday morning on CDG-LYS, and it was not very full (cannot make an educated guess in terms of percentage). I was sitting in exit row 30 which was not too bad but wondered if it would have been possible to get the Premium Economy seats as well (I suppose they AF is only selling Y and C on the route).

On a side note, the Rhonexpress is really very expensive and on the return to the airport did not depart the station Part Dieu because of some obstacles on the route. A lot of passengers including me where forced to take a taxi then.

The scamexpress becomes cheaper if you book it 2 months in advance (10€ per single trip). This line is still there for 20 more years, and has the monopoly on the downtown<->LYS road. Would any alternative try to exist, not only the airport staff would mislead you so to not find it, the Scamexpress owner would also go into trial for breaking the monopoly.

When I only have one hand luggage and nobody can drop me, I go for 4-6€ per trip on Blablacar. Quite random to get a convenient meeting point, sadly. I'd take that rather than support this scam.

LY777

I will fly to YYZ one week before so I won't get the 787

I hope AF will follow KLM and will put 787 on SFO-CDG route eventually instead of those NEV4 777.

Goldorak

I doubt it. Too small module for AF on this route most of the year.

I don't know how the load factors are like on the second daily flight during the summer schedule but would the 789 be a good fit for this one? They do already operate BEST on the second daily with a 777 most days though.

I'm flying this tomorrow and I assigned myself seat 7A. Apparently, Premium Cabin seats are sold as "Seat Plus" so only had to pay 7.5€. A no-brainer if you ask me.
