For all other carriers - I either had pre-assigned seats, or was able to select [EY]/change[KL] seats on that airline's website - just not on AF.
On my sole AZ longhaul flight, a seat was pre-assigned...which doesn't appear on the seatmap for that aircraft type. I haven't dared use the PNRs on the AZ website so will worry about that when the time comes
I'm resigned to that and just hope the tickets stick.
There are no hard-and-fast rules with these tickets - but I wouldn't ring up asking for seating, or continue to enquire about it. Just let it slide...

The e-ticket is what defines your ticket. Several PNRs can be generated for the e-ticket, and there is no requirement that they show all the flights (if they did, it would seem to indicate that there was no need to create more than one PNR in the first place)

You will hate going back to the angle lieflats on AF or the dormitory/coffins on BA after you've tried it!
I only wish AZ had a more extensive network - I had to rely on AF for a few flights.
I hear CDG has improved in the last few years for transit passengers, but if they delay my luggage again, I will not be happy!!! (It's why I stopped flying AF through CDG).

A fee of €32 overall.
I had to stick to whatever country version of Expedia/Orbitz/Ebookers came out with the EF.
As an example expedia.it never gave the EF on my searches, while co.uk yes.
Same for other OTAs.
Additionally, when at the end of the purchase process you try to switch currency, the page reloads and starts again from the beginning.

You should use skyscanner or momondo and switch between European countries if you can't find something in Italy.
Germany is usually the go-to place for the cheapest offers @:-)

You are stating the obvious - and I personally never said otherwise in my post (perhaps you may want to read again?), everyone knows that those flights were booked exclusively because of the ridiculously low prices yet, as also previously stated by GUWonder, it could mean that a lot of people realise that AZ has improved its J product, meaning that they could possibly book again. I hope that's more clear (I can try in different languages, otherwise)

Would be much useful for AZ if they "possibly" buy tickets costing 3.000€ rather than 600€ :-)
Be my guest if you want to try different languages if you can.... My teachers always said practicing is a very good thing to improve a knowledge

Can we discuss convenient hotels around FLR? I have been to FLR years ago, but it was dark and I just took transport straight into town.
I have a 10am departure to CDG (FLR->CDG->JFK->SLC) in late June. Will arrive from LON the day before. Currently looking at Hotel Franchi, Via Giovanni Sgambati, 28. Any other ideas? Also it would seem there is a good dining option not too far away from there. Will be going HBO and don't mind walking the 900m from hotel to airport at 8:30am.
This all assumes the ticket is not cancelled in the next few weeks...

First time booking an error fare. Was able to book FLR-CDG-SGN-HKG-AUH-DUS on AF, VN and EY metal. Booked through Vayama. Got conf email with ref locators for AZ, VN, and EY. Can see itin on My Flights.
AZ page pulls up only FLR-CDG-SGN flights, even though CDG-SGN is on VN metal
VN page pulls up CDG-SGN-HKG flights only, but they are all of the VN metal flights.
EY page pulls up whole itin.
None allow me to change seats.
VN page says "We cannot recognize some reservation and/or electronic ticket elements. If you have any queries about your reservation, please contact the office that made the reservation and/or issued the ticket." at the tope
If I try to select seat on EY leg on their page I get "We are sorry but this booking cannot be changed online. Please contact us for further assistance."
Can anyone tell me if this means my flights are ticketed and valid or what, if anything, this means?

I managed to book seats through KE website for ICNNRT but not for their FCOICN due to (I assume) I bought it through AZ codeshare flight code (AZ7686). On AF website it says "seats booking available on check-in"

Was looking for the most appropriate thread for you - and this one I am posting is NOT it - but look at this absolute gem of a thread I found!!
The guy was only 13 years too early in asking
