Desktop site vs app difference in airports list
Hi all.
In the interest of informing members, I wanted to note a recently observed difference between the AF site vs app, which I believe was not documented before.
Specifically: the app does not have the entire list of airports. I was searching for award flights to BAY (on RO), and BAY did not exist in the app, whereas it did on the site.
I noticed some Romanian airports missing from the ST official app as well, but this is probably unrelated.
This might not be much but it always pays to check both sales channels, since I’ve noticed sometimes that the app works better than the site as well.

On the app you can only buy tickets from your « region ». For instance you can, if you’re logged in as a France-domiciled customer, but a ticket from a Paris to New York, but not a ticket that starts in New York. Both airports are in the list, but you can’t put any airport in the “from” field.

Now iam still able to simulate a booking from another country which is not mine (location/nationality/residence) up until payment

I should add I was looking for BAY in the destination field and was my region as well. It simply did not exist.
Plus, AF/KL miles-booking sites should have and normally have all flights, not just codeshares, at least for the integrated airlines (RO, Kenyan etc).
