Advice for international hidden city fare with AF
I trying to book a pretty good fare ($650) from DFW to SVO but leaving at CDG. I wondered if the passagers have to take the luggage at CDG or are they automatically rerouted. This is my biggest concern for now and wanted to have you advice.
Thanks !
Thanks !

Luggage will be through checked and asking for it to be offloaded may lead to some serious questioning. Kl even charges a fee for that, I'm not sure if af does too.

You have to forget about this crazy plan...
Note that your return flights will be automatically cancelled, if you don't fly the 2nd segment CDG-SVO.

Even with a visa and without checked luggage, if OP no shows for his CDG-SVO segment, the remaining/return segments will be cancelled (presuming that this is not a one-way ticket). Hidden city does not work on the outbound of round-trip tickets.
Whether the cancelled ticket retains any value which may be applied to a new ticket will be determined by the fare rules of the new ticket.

I forgot about the visa issue, i though it wouldn't be an issue as I assumed they would ask for visa at CDG not DFW. Was thinking about booking 2 one way fare to avoid the rest of the segment to be cancelled. But following your advices, will see if there are other possibilities. Thank you !
