La Premiere Seats on non La Premiere flight
Flying BLR-CDG (AF 191) in J in the next few days. The equipment shows as the 777-300ER, with BEST seats (1-2-1 config). There is no La Premiere on this route, any way you can select those seats, with J service, obviously? FWIW, Silver status with FB.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Now you should try to pay the 300 EUR for La Premium ground service in CDG (if you have a connection of course) so you can have 75% of La Premičre experience for a bargain price

I don't understand this thread and question asked by OP 
Can you clarify ?
There is no P on this route, so the classes of travel available are J/W/Y.
The J seats are the BEST ones on this route, i.e. in 1-2-1 config. Those are not P seats, but J. Again, I may have completely missed your point, so would appreciate a clarification from you.

Even if true I would expect those seats to remain blocked.

All true, There is no La Premiere on this route, but on certain days is served with a 777-300ER, which features a La Premiere cabin. Was just wondering if it was possible to be seated there. It's a shame they are blocked! Should be released to FB elites at check-in. :P

Really ? I am quite surprised of this, because they don't have that much B777W with P so they need them for the P routes. Was that rather last minutes substitution because originally assigned aircraft went tech ?

There are some 77W with BEST scheduled on this route for February 18, 19, but no flight on 20.
Are they any BEST 77W without F? If not,the OP question seems legitimate. The way I interpret it is: can you select those seats even with J service?

No (edited from yes which was a mistake)
I never said the question was not legitimate. Just that the initial post was unclear.
That was indeed OP's question after clarification. Answer is no.

Like you, I am extremely surprised that they would use a 77W with P on a J-only route.There must be something special as this happens just on 18/19 Feb then no flight on 20, while this is usually a daily flight.
