AirFrance has finally released the tickets for the maiden flights of their 787 on January 7/8th :)
French link here: http://www.airfrance.fr/FR/fr/local/...tsrc=socialads There seems to be still quite a few tickets (249€ in Y, 349€ in W, 787€ in J). The booking systeme is way better than for the 747 last flights! |

Perhaps because there is much less demand for these tickets...

Is it just me or the tickets are quite expensive for what it is ?
[Joke] Do we get miles and QF for the flight ? :D [\Joke] |
Yes, the Tour de France is almost sold out now.
But the others have some ways to go yet.

But whatever novelty surrounded the Dreamliner should have dissipated by now. And no - I don't think you will earn miles for these flights. A CDG-CDG flight would earn 0 miles, anyway, by definition!!! :D |

There's a phone number to call if you are originating in the French provinces, the UK, Spain, Switzerland, Germany or Italy. [I wonder how much they charge for the connecting flights. At these prices, they should be free!!!]
Presumably their KLM counterparts in the Netherlands are excluded due to their own 787 intro flights last year :D |

Booking engine mentions: Ce vol n'est pas éligible au crédit de miles Flying Blue.

I will be in :)
|
I'll be on the Sunday morning flight over Brittany. Anyone else?
|
I think that anyone willing to pay €249 to spend an unnecessary 2h30 in the horrible Y middle seat of a 787 to go absolutely nowhere should be urgently referred to a mental health specialist.

The pricing is terrible :td:
I sincerely hope they organize a maiden flight for the A350 and they will sell the J seat at 350 EUR. Much more affordable. |
