I just got an email from Air France advertising their new NON-STOP service betweeen LAX and LHR next spring! Is this part of an Open skies agreement of some sorts? What other similar routes are being offered?^

It will be interesting to see how this affects VS & BA pricing - but that is the extent of my interest until the competition upgrade their hard product to compete.
Sliding down an AF (or abybody elses) angled seat is not going to get me even half a night's sleep, so it's not worth half the money of a flat bed, and the better food and wine on AF does not come close to compensating. AF seem to be implicity acknowledging that by holding the price on their F product which can hold it's own against the (comparatively) rather weak BA F.
