Still much better than their YVR departure (13:30), the DL departure (13:20) and AC's new YVR-CDG (another 13:30).

They received the third 787 on September 28th (http://corporate.airfrance.com/en/ne...787-air-france) and two others are scheduled for delivery before end of the year.
shouldn't we give this thread a new title, like "AF 787 master thread", as we don't talk anymore about the 787 config

I'm apparently flying it back Dec 23 on the CDG-BOS route. Interested to see what it's like. Incidentally, also flying the 787 SFO-AMS on the inbound (if I am lucky and it doesn't get cancelled like it always does 
)
)

And YUL will continue during the summer season on one of the 3 daily flights.

I still don’t know how they will manage to serve all those announced routes with so few aircrafts.

Flight AF377 DTW-CDG in December 2018: during booking it said it would be the B777, now it says online it is a B789. Checking the flights the last couple of days it was always the B777. Is it true that it will shift to B789 during winter?

I flew the route twice recently and I had once the B772 and once the B789.
