AF Updated Schedules A380
Howdy all-
Curious if anyone might know when AF will load in new schedules that reflect the discontinuation of the A380.
i was just rebooked on a flight from delta on July 20 from CDG to ATL. Schedule says it’s an A380, so I’m trying to figure out what equipment it would change to (if it even flies).
last time I checked, the entire second floor had like 4 other people on it... would be fascinating if that was the equipment, but we know in actuality it won’t be! Would be nice to know what cabin I’d end up in so I can determine if I’d rather re-route on delta metal.
Thanks for the insights all!

It is certain that AF will not have 2 daily flights, including an A380.
AF has revised its schedule until 5 July. Expect revisions for 20 July in a couple of weeks
Currently AF operates a 77W without P on Mondays,

My wife and I rebooked our J award tickets for OSL-CDG-ATL for 53k miles a piece to May of 2021. It's currently scheduled for the A380, but I know that won't happen. I assume AF will rebook us on whatever is flying then, likely the A350, right?

AF only has Aug 2020 kind of set, and of course, last minute substitutions are possible.

good chance that it will be a B777, nobody knows at the moment what will be flying on this route in May 2021, the flight plan is more or less up-to-date to approx. end of August. According to AF's announcement, it won't be a A380. Strictly speaking it will not be a "rebooking", but just a change of aircraft on your booked flight.

An airline with another idea of what matters more (customers or employees) would have invited its best customers instead of its employees.
AF will never change.

Yesterday, I happened to be at CDG at 3:30pm and did a snapshot. However in my understanding it was not the A380 which performed the last flight.

I watched the flight on flightradar24.com and the A380 was joined with an AF A350 out of Toulouse over Southern France with 1,000 ft vertical separation. Maybe for a photo opportunity. I cannot show two flights togther on FR24:
