Seat Selection DL/AF IAD to CDG
My wife and are are using a coach award ticket from Dulles to Paris on an AirFrance codeshare 777 plane. Does anyone have any seat number recommendations? Thanks

Not that it matters anyway -- whenever I book a DL codeshare on AF metal (the SFO->CDG flight in particular), I can reserve whatever I want, but when I get to the airport and check in, it's something different...
So take your advance seat assignment with a grain of salt.

Click an "Our Services"
Then click on "Boeing" (or "Airbus").
Then click on "B 777-200" and look for
a nice seat.
Then call AF and make the seat assignment; you (should) have two record locators: One from Delta and one from AF.
BTW, I can't find a seatmap for the Airbus A330 on the web. Can somebody help?

Be careful with this one. Sometimes they swap it out for an A330. I always see the flight waiting at the gate in IAD when I fly home on Fridays, and lately, it seems like it has been switching back and forth. Perhaps it was just a seasonal substitution?</font>

As far as seating - I've actually scored my only two 'comps' (as a PM) on AF at IAD on the 5:00 (always lots of tourists/students in Y for some reason) - the AF IAD people are actually quite nice AND do recognize DL PM's.
The staff at the shared ANA(AM)/AF(PM) lounge next to AF's gate are also quite nice...if you are PM be sure to stop in.
It's the closest thing DL has to a 'lounge' at IAD.
