Hi guys, have you noticed these last months a negative trend where you are frequently escorted to your plane with other F PAX ?
Discussing with AF agents, it seems that are understaffed so that they need to group PAX in the same car/van .
With the newly access of HIPP members, the situation is not going to be better ...

I honestly don’t recall that part, but I have Global Entry so it wouldn’t have mattered much. But I do remember being ignored at the baggage claim. 🤷.♂️

Just tried today to book a round trip CDG/Dubai over the Easter week-end to visit friends .
it seems that P is not offered any more on this leg starting from the summer 2020 timetable.
I checked other dates and still no P flights .
Looks strange that AF removed P on this destination in front of EK .
With the retreat of the AF A380 fleet (this WE a first Jumbo has been given back by AF to his owner), we’ll have less and less destination served in P.
Does anyone has insight on the future of AF P service ?

Seems that from 25 Feb 2020 onwards the 77W is replaced by 772 on the DXB route.
No more P then.
I see two possible reasons:
- bad loads on the route
- another A380 leaving the fleet and the need for a 4-class 77W to replace it
The two reasons not mutually exclusive though.

On a // thread yesterday, it was mentioned that SFO receives a third daily AF operated flight starting from the summer season.
They put a 77W equipped with P on this route however AF blocked the sales of P on this flight .
Let’s hope it’s not a first sign that AF will discontinue his whole P service .

In addition, P ground service is already offered in SFO with the other flights.
This situation might be temporary.
I am flying to MEX in P on sunday with A380 and it will be discontinued this year as well. From what I heard, they will add another flight per day and both will be operated with 77W.
Let's hope that they keep the P cabin as it's almost always full.

The SFO flights are changing in the summer. I was booked on the evening flight and AF agent called saying she protected me on the afternoon flight (it was an A380 but now 77W).

The SFO situation seems sorted now. Various people looked at availability at various points in time over the past ten days, and the situation was so much in flux that everyone had something different to report.
Now it's a pattern where in next summer's schedule the A380s are gone from the SFO route, three daily flights instead of two operate each day, two of them on B777-300ER with Premiere (and all flights show availability in P), and one on B777-200ER without Premiere.
Good for people travelling in J, no more NEV seats. And also good for those travelling in P. Whilst not all flights have it (=reduced choice), all P seats are the new style of the 777-300ER.

The rumors has been confirmed : Limo service to/from Paris for P PAX is now included in the P ticket price . Other cities should be announced soon .
P product is now even more attractive .
