Any possibility of routing this through Helsinki as well as Amsterdam and Paris? Probably totally pushing it, with the times of the Dubai flights. One has to also factor in the extra costs of getting to and from the Baltics.

I was rather thinking of the XP yield, as that seems to be the important thing these days. Probably doing what I asked (routing via HEL, AMS and CDG) will require a couple of overnights along the way (at least one) which will push up the cost a bit.

Sure but for less money you can have miles and XP with Alitalia european business class fares so i don't get the point of flying Air France these days if you're on an AF ticket
Whereas take an AF flight marketed by Delta or Alitalia is better value that this one

Great catch, thanks. Should be the same seat as 789 with a small changes. I guess similar to CX 77W and A35K.
