This isn’t significant news in the grand scheme of things, though Air France just announced they would be operating the Airbus 380 on the Los Angeles to Paris route daily starting May 28, 2012.

Do you suggest that Delta offers a better Business Class?? At least Air France has got a shell seat, not recliner
@ mal -- They did last summer though I don't believe they are anymore.
@ bmvaughn -- Yes, which oddly enough is *bad* news for Delta flyers (since lower fares were required to upgrade on Air France than on Delta).
@ Thierry -- Delta's new business class product is no doubt better than Air France's (which they use on all routes to London and select routes to Munich, Frankfurt, etc.). Otherwise I'd say Air France is slightly better, though there are much better business class products out there (Air New Zealand, British Airways, Swiss, and Virgin Atlantic, just to name a few).
Is the only way to get an F reward seat on AF (or KE for that matter) would be through their own FF programs as you can't book F with skypesos ?
@ Mike -- Not only that, but you have to be an elite with them and can only book it at the "flex" level.
Argh. I wonder when we might see availability open up on the LAX-CDG route. I don't want to traipse across the country to IAD if I can help it.
@ ArizonaGuy -- Are you not able to find availability? While award availability isn't *plentiful*, I do find it to be fairly decent even out of LA at the moment.
