  • Check-in deadlines — most airlines close online check-in 1–2 hours before departure

Air France’s route network

Counted from published nonstop services rather than live schedules, so this describes the shape and reach of Air France’s network - its bases, how far it ranges and how much it leans on partners - rather than today’s timetable.

On codeshares: about 50% of these routes are marketed by Air France but flown by a partner. It matters at the airport: baggage rules, seat selection and lounge access usually follow the operating carrier, not the one on your booking reference.

Aircraft types on Air France’s network

Recorded against Air France’s published routes, most-frequent first. This comes from a scheduled-service dataset that is refreshed periodically rather than live, so it reflects the shape of the fleet — narrow-body versus wide-body, regional jets versus mainline — more reliably than it reflects any individual variant flying today.

Baggage, changes and fare conditions

Allowances and fees differ by fare brand, route and booking channel, and carriers revise them often. Rather than print a number that may be wrong on the day you fly, here is what actually varies with Air France and what to confirm before you pay.

Cabin baggageFull-service carriers normally include a cabin bag plus a personal item. Weight limits are enforced more strictly on narrow-body and regional aircraft.
Checked baggageOften included, by piece or by weight depending on the route. Long-haul allowances are usually more generous than short-haul.
Seat selectionAdvance selection is typically chargeable; free assignment at check-in is the fallback. Extra-legroom and exit rows carry a premium.
ChangesWhether a change is permitted, and the fee plus any fare difference, is set by your fare brand rather than by the airline as a whole.
Cancellation and refundsRefundability is a fare-brand property. Even on non-refundable fares, government taxes and some charges are usually reclaimable.
Name changesRules vary widely - some carriers permit a correction for a fee, others require a new booking. Check spelling against your passport at the time of booking.
Infants and childrenUnder-twos usually travel on a lap for a percentage of the adult fare; a seat requires a child fare and an approved restraint.
PetsIn-cabin carriage, hold carriage and breed restrictions differ per carrier and per destination, and some routes prohibit animals entirely.
Special assistanceRequest at least 48 hours ahead. Assistance is a legal entitlement in the EU, UK and US, but it must be booked to be guaranteed.

Where to confirm: the binding text is Air France’s own conditions of carriage and the fare rules shown at checkout. If your ticket is a codeshare, the operating carrier’s baggage rules normally apply to the whole journey.
