Looks like an IT web glitch. I had a similar selection issue last week on an upcoming CDG-SFO flight after our flight went from P0 to P2. I was in 1E, my friend in 1A. Despite being P2, 1L (and 1F) were blocked on AF.com. Had to call the Platinum line where agent had no problem assigning me 1L.

So it would take until almost 2029 for all of the Air France LaP cabins to have been installed? AUGGGGH!

Can someone give a more precise idea than this?
Nobody knows. We only know that AF likes to take its time.

Depending on how many P-equipped planes AF wants to do without, they may have two in refit at a time. Even then 2027 would be the earliest one could count on having new P.

Could my thinking be correct on this? F-GZNG has been in Abu-Dhabi since 5 January. AF has also said that they will be increasing the number of aircraft with LP. Would it not make more sense to start with these aircraft...current non-P aircraft? I believe this 777W is a non LP one and it will have been in AUH for over 2 months and ready for the launch this month. It would also make sense to rotate this aircraft across all the routes from the outset to touch the widest variety of fliers. If this has already been posted, my apologies.

Unlikely as this one is a ultra high density COI aircraft (14J). We'll see

Every 77W in AF's fleet except for the existing P-equipped ones has gone through a refit in the past couple of years, so any P expansion is going to be with A350s (since I don't think the 330s or 772s will get P as their last hurrah and 789s seem unlikely).

Every LP staff/crew that I asked has told me not the 350 due to width.

JFK AF La Premiere ground service

Some pictures of the actual ground service at JFK.

I did not took pictures at security controls but it was very smooth as we took the shortcut (VIP one).

Decent service in the P lounge at JFK.

Night flight very short ,

All in all, I estimate the AF P price is not justified on this night route. A robust J seat is optimal.






Robust champagne offer vs the official P lounge selection in Paris

Hard core sélection to get a heavy sleep 😉

Nice red wine offer




Huge lobster portion

Cosy ambiance

Onboard menu



Short dinner

Nice cabin brightness at CDG after landing

So that's the answer regarding an increased LP footprint. If it can only be on 777s, every 777 in the fleet which doesn't already have P has either been stem-to-stern refit in the past couple of years or is set to be retired in the next few years.

Whatever the plan is we should be finding out soon I would think.

If there’s no reduction in P seats, and presumably no reduction in total seats throughout the rest of the airplane, why on earth are they hiking the prices without any end in sight?
