Air France Mini Fares - Elite Plus baggage allowance ?
Before wading thru 13 pages of comments, can anyone confirm when booking Air France Mini Fares the Elite Plus status benefits will be honored and i.e. 1st checked bag fee is waived ?
Any mileage to accrue ?
TIA!

I'm Elite+ on VN. Last weekend I had a flight STR-CDG-STR by using the mini fare. It was no problem to take one luggage with me and I also had all SkyPriority advantages (like priority tag and boarding, lounge ...). Today I saw that VN also accured the miles for the mini fare.

Absolutely no problem on MiNi fares, as the flights are operated by AF.
But on the regional flights that were operated by Regional or Britair for Air France, and are now operated by Regional, Britair or Airlinair for HOP!, an Air France subsidiary, only AF/KL FFP benefits apply as HOP! is not (yet) a part of SkyTeam.
