Maybe some bedside tacticians can join this futile exercise.

That's what they did between Janaillac and Juniac

Yeah. That's what I figured. Thanks. If my flight were to be cancelled could I potentially switch to any same fare class on a different flight? In other words if I'm on the older a380 business would I be able to switch into the newer business class on a different flight without charge?

A few weeks back on one of the strike days, Air France cancelled their CDG - LAX - PPT flight. I have an upcoming LAX - PPT flight on a potential strike days, and given that this is Tahiti, there aren't really other Skyteam alternatives flying to the island on that day
For anyone who did encounter the above cancellation, were they rebooked on Air Tahiti Nui or what? I don't want my entire tahiti vacation ruined (which involves non refundable expensive hotels on the island) because the only flight to the island served by air france is cancelled.

Any experience in how service proceeds on the days before strike actions?
My long haul into CDG leaves on May 1, my cxn to ATH leaves at 20.35 May 2, arriving at 00.40 on May 3.
Disregarding the usual concerns associated with checking bags through connections, will baggage handling at CDG on the evening of May 2 be impacted by the strike called for the 3rd?
