Question about changes: mother in law has a ticket to Taipei, and she is not really eager to travel. I assume there is no waiver there. If we swallow that change fee and change to ticket to intra-Europe how does the refund work with a negative fare difference. When I go online to initiate a change it shows a negative total. Is that going to be a refund the original form of payment or some sort of credit to be used for future flights?

has anyone insights into the HKG-flights? I'm supposed to return to Europe on AF185 on 11.Feb and there are no more seats sold and Expertflyer shows 0 availability - same on other dates as well. Will HKG be next to be cancelled?

At the moment; no but who knows. I am guessing that many pax are booking/are rebooked to/from HKG with mainland China cancellations so those flights get super full.

ok back to normal. they probably temporarily blocked space - as you mentioned - to accomodate all those PVG/PEK/etc travellers from the cancelled flights.

For 11 February, one reason that AF temporarily zeroed all fare buckets could be that CX cancelled its flight that day.

Many French families had planned holiday in nearby beachy Asian destinations. But schools/university and many "public" spaces will remain closed for some time, so sending kids back to France is a good idea.

Was also wondering if AF would allow a change in destination (from PVG to BKK or somewhere else) with no fee
