HELP! Not a single AF CDG - USA bound flight in November/December
I've been scouring EF for a flight on Air France FROM CDG in November literally to any point in the US - LAX, SFO, IAH, MSP, IAD, JFK, etc, and do not see availability in Coach or Business on a SINGLE FLIGHT to the US from CDG!

I see flights available to CDG from the US, but NOTHING vice-versa. Am I missing something, or is EF not returning accurate inventory?

Please help!

CDG to USA - no flights at all on AF?
I've been searching an Expert Flyer for a flight on Air France FROM CDG in November literally to any Air France destination point in the US - LAX, SFO, IAH, MSP, IAD, JFK, etc, and do not see availability in Coach or Business on a SINGLE FLIGHT to the US from CDG!

I see flights available to CDG from the US, but NOTHING vice-versa. Am I missing something, or is EF not returning accurate inventory?

I want to use SkyMiles for a redemption, but see no return flights. I find it hard to believe that there is not even a single reward seat out there either in Business or Economy?

There are quite a few threads on this in the Delta forum.

You will find a better answer there.

have you called and asked Delta? I would recommend this as a next step.

No, I usually search on EF before calling, the agents are clueless. What would I tell the agents, find me availability on Air France? Can they do that without telling me only Delta flights?

Are you looking for a mileage ticket? An upgradeable fare? Just a regular ticket?

Is there a reason why only AF is acceptable?

I assume you are talking about a mileage award at the low rate, but please let us know if that is not the case.

Delta Mileage Award - Would like either Economy X or Business O at the low rate. Don't see anything on KLM to USA either... I'm not an expert in using EF, but I'm surprised to see no X awards or Business O to the USA from AMS or CDg in November...

The threads listed above should indicate why there are issues...

Consider this my gift, found in about one minute of search on EF and readily confirmed on delta.com. This was showing three seats an EF, actually. I'll stop searching here although I see other available CDG-JFK dates in that week. Fees aren't correct if this is part of a USA-France-USA itin.

Is December the new November?

Um, no, but the OP's title included December in their "complaint."

On a separate note, taxes really have gone up. (Don't know if this includes YQ, etc.) But I did this trip in AF O last Thanksgiving and the RT taxes were 130.10.

YQ ex-Europe, along with other fees/taxes, is always a nasty price, making many redemptions useless from this side of the Pond IME.
