AF November 2024 Schedule?
I’m looking to book an AF flight (IAD to CDG) the first week of November 2024 and I noticed AF hasn’t released flights past 26 October 2024 (essentially, no flights have been added to their schedule for almost 3 weeks).
Is this typical for AF? If so, when is it likely that they’ll start releasing flights last 26 October 2024? If it’s atypical, does anyone know why they’ve stopped releasing flights?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for the reply! I’ll keep an eye on things to see when they start adding more flights.
For some reason I thought AF released flights at 359 days out. I’d been monitoring things for a while and that seemed to consistently be the case until suddenly they stopped.

There is a good chance that AF will pause sales on certain routes until they have determined what their winter timetable will be on those certain routes.

Are you attempting to book directly from the Air France site? I was in the same situation as you...in March wanted to book an AF flight in March of the following year. The flights I wanted showed up on the AF site with pricing. However, when I tried to book the flights through Delta I could not because Delta's limitation was 330 days.

Usually it's 330 days like the others said.
The route is pretty predictable though. The daily AF54 on a 77W with P, plus perhaps a second AF26 a few days a week on a lower capacité appareil, like a 772.

The IATA winter season starts in that very week, and all airlines change from a "summer" to their "winter" timetable at that time.
There is a good chance that AF will pause sales on certain routes until they have determined what their winter timetable will be on those certain routes.
