Sitting here in Tunisia and trying to get home during the Air France strike. They are offering "FREE" changes to tickets during the strike. My free change was $658 additional if I took it with no promise that the flight would happen. Bought the same ticket to CDG on a local carrier for $78. Thanks for nothing Air France. Delta needs to find a decent partner in Europe.

Air France is absolutely horrible. Stranded my wife and I in Rome during a wine tour of Tuscany and Provence a few falls ago. Ended up booking out on an Air Ryan flight for a very reasonable price.

Last time I flew with AF was FEB 2015, went through Paris, (what a shithole never again) the place actually stinks like bad sewage, as for the airline, horrible is the only way to truly explain it - rude hostess, rude check in jockeys, rude bag checkers - sorry but they suck!

I have flown AF twice as a Delta partner to Africa, first time by choice, the second time by necessity. Both were good experiences. I flew Economy Plus both times, food was good, flight attendants pleasant, no lost luggage. The first time was with firearms. They held me until it was confirmed my rifles were on the plane and were very pleasant about it. I even visited Paris for a half a day on one trip. The international terminal in CDG is nice.

Delta has managed to lose my luggage the last two trips between ATL and LFT.

Two flights are a small sample but I have been happy with them.

Delta and AF are a natural combo- they both suck and thus a combo flight with the 2 of them sucks squared thumbdown

Good math Jerry!

However, not a lot of options for Cameroon. Looking at Brussels Airlines/United as a potential alternative to Air France/Delta from SFO.
