AF returning to SEA!

only 5x per week, and DL will still be doing the route. It is still a partner (for now). Service begins March 25, 2018.

Airliners.nut had a speculation thread on this earlier in the week.

What aircraft type? AF has some old miserable widebodies such as the A340. No flat beds and 2-3-2 business class configuration, for example.

From the article:
The two cities will be served by a Boeing 777-200 equipped with a capacity of 280 to 312 seats for up to five weekly flights. The aircraft is equipped with the latest long-haul travel cabins in Business, Premium Economy and Economy.

They do have 777-200 with the 2-3-2 J class though. To be honest, I've worked at YVR for a while and I don't know what they use because I've never gone on board. Is there a way to distinguish which config they'd be using? I suspect it's the same as what's used for YVR.

The YVR flights have had the new seats on all operating days since June. I flew the route as recent as last month and had the new cabin on both directions. Very nice hard product albeit the departure time ex-YVR sucked - 13:30. Too early to go to bed.
