Never experienced an air-side transfer in TUN but, as I lived in Tunis for some time, I know that it is entirely possible. However, you cannot register on AF airside. If you only have a hand luggage, I suggest you check in online and it should be fine. Otherwise, I think you need to check in for all the flights when checking in for your HV flight (it should be possible as HV is just a subsidiary of AF). By the way, are you sure you need a visa for Tunisia ?

Careful with that: the chance that HV does not allow the one in your party to board the flight to TUN is high a visa is required.

Do you mean that you are forced to travel all segments even you don't want?
As I wrote, you can skip any flight, but you cannot fly rest of the trip then.

My companion is from Indonesia, so yep, we're quite sure about the visa thing. Maybe flying in on AZ/AF is a better idea. Thanks for your help!

Working as a travel agent, I often hear people who were denied boarding if they cannot show visa. If the airline flies you to Tunis but you cannot enter the country, they are forced to fly you back at their own expense.

This is why they deny boarding if you do not have the papers.

I would not count on that solution.

True though that is nothing compared to the fines they have to pay to the local authorities in case of flying a pax without appropriate visa to a given destination.

Sorry for the off-topic.

Could anyone select their seats on CDG-CAN sectors? I can't neither on CZ nor AF websites.

With Sabre you need another booking code for operating carrier booking, i saw this similar working with Amadeus where AF resides in, however, i am not sure it always works like this with Amadeus.
And normally you can only get that code from AF...

I got booking codes of both AF and CZ. I can select CZ-operated CZ-marketed seats on CZ website. I can select AF-operated AF-marketed seats on AF website.
I can't select AF-operated CZ-marketed seats anywhere. Although I did ask for a window/aisle option though buggy Priceline website and it worked, but it put me and my companion to seats apart from each other. AF claims they can't help me.

can some one send me a link for an online booking site where I can book it. THX

I recall now several years ago i had AZ marketed flight operated by AF (PAR-SIN) and AF could not select seats too. Such a shame they are still there... And right, the generic requests did work for isle or window.

There would be a separate confirmation code for AF marketed CZ operated flight (showiing as AF operated by CZ while in reality its vv) if the operating airline was in Sabre and marketing was in Amadeus.

For example, in LON-(BA)-JFK-(BA by AA)-MIA-(AA)-MCO - you would normally need to use 2 different AA reservations codes (both for Sabre) to select seats on JFK-MIA and on MIA-MCO as the first one is a code share. Even though both flights will show up in both reservations.

But if both are in Amadeus i am not sure how this works.

Can you still book it via an OTA?
