Time between Paris ticket sales and first flight??
Supposed to fly JFK-CDG on July 9th and hoping to be doing it in Mint. I know no one here has any special insight as to when Paris tickets will go on sale, but does anyone recall the comparable times for London service?
In other words, does anyone remember how long there was between announcement/online ticket sales for LHR, and how long between online ticket sales/first flight? I'm assuming there will be a similar waiting period.
Any thoughts appreciated! At 4k roundtrip in J on AA/DL/UA, I'm hoping B6 will help bring that down by at least 1-1.5k (at least for the inaugural flights).

Considering they barely have enough planes to do London at the moment... they could probably open sales 3-4 months before the first flight, but there's really no way to know for sure.
UPDATE: current rumor is summer, and they are going to scope out crew hotels soon. Sorry I don't have anything more specific. This is just bad timing for you
