New Air France Website for Booking

Apologies if it has been already posted.

I was just searching for a flight to BEY and I've noticed I was redirected to a new website for booking.
The good news is that it shows WAY more options and FINALLY it easily allows mixed cabin booking!
Moreover, it also shows XP earning for each flight choice.

Here are a few screenshots.

I just did a quick test on a few intra-europe routes, where the current search system used to remove KLM options, and now they are offered. This new booking interface looks really nice!
Andy82 and Mirk like this.

First Class on ZRH-CDG? I want that flight. Was in normal man's Business Class this morning, no P cabin in sight. Or maybe they now call it First as they use the A319 an A320 much more on that route, so less A318 with NEO seats. Going from NEO to the new Euro cabins feels like an upgrade from J to P.

But I presume it's just AF, and therefore a bug in their system.

Just a bug obviously ;-) The real La Premiere was on the CDG-BEY flight I selected, but I didn't expand the section. Sorry.

They mention now miles and XP, but not the fare conditions as before.

It appears when you confirm your flight schedule.
the number of miles is for Explorer ~ € 4300 RT


miles are for one way

What is bizarre is the number of miles, as normally it depends on status.

I guess the default amount is the one for a non-elite. When you're logged in, you get the "correct" amount (modulo usual glitches).

Yes, I corrected my post. Thanks
BTW, this promotion fare for 2 is also for one, a bit more money

While I like the more options... I think they can get too creative at times
