I thought that HOP was not affected by the periodic strikes. But I see that the HOP flights I booked under HOP code are now "operated by AF". So I guess that is susceptible to strike?

COuld the mods change the title of this thread to include it, or should we open a new one?

So I have a June 23rd AF flight from Paris to Rome. The tickets are Non-Refundable. With a strike looming for the 23rd, what are the chances AF will let me cancel that flight for a refund so I can rebook on Alitalia and not have to sweat not getting to Rome that day?

they will not let you cancel it and proceed to refund now. Only closer to the date, if the strike is confirmed. Let AF handle everything. You will go to Rome the day you have planned, one way or another.

Finally a weekend where I get an AF Strike!
Will be flying ZRH-CDG-DUS and back on AF/Hop!. Do you think I can preemptively convince the PSL to rebook me on KL flights now? When should I wait for that?

How does strike action affect options for my return flight? AF
I have an outbound flight from MAN to PUF via CDG on 25th June that looks like it will be affected by strike action with AF. The return journey on 29th June looks fine for now. PUF is a hard place to get to and the flights I have booked were about my only option to get there in time for an important meeting so I need to take the jeopardy out of the situation and make alternative arrangements. My question is, what will happen to my return journey if AF cannot offer me a decent alternative to my outbound flight? Do I have to accept a refund and the return journey is lost? Or can I take the train to Pau and still catch my return flight.

Will the AF strikes affect CityJet services?
Will the AF strikes scheduled for end of June 2018 affect CityJet services? I am flying through CDG on a AF ticket but on BE and CityJet operated services.

Looks like flight is going to be cancelled on June 23rd by looking at the history for my flight for the past few strikes. What should I do at this point? call and ask them to cancel for me and book a different airline asap?
I heard they are going to negotiate on June 14th, you guys think will not turn around or should i just wait

Does anybody know if the Amsterdam - Paris flights were cancelled during the last round of strikes. My wife and I have flights booked from Aberdeen-Amsterdam-Paris-Toronto on Tuesday 26th June so a bit concerned. I fly back to Amsterdam from Moscow on the 24th so I will check with the flying blue team to see if they can put us on a direct Amsterdam to Toronto flight but not sure if they would do that without confirmation of any actual cancellations.
I know its a crazy routing but the price was amazing (well under 300 GBP) and it was quite decent with the XP's.
