Air France is again training their crews on a new aircraft by operating it between Paris and London. They did this with the A380 and it was full of people who love aircraft and surprised passengers getting to test a new plane.
From 6 Feb – 25 March 17, Air France will be operating one flight a day in each direction with their new 787.
From Paris, the AF1680 leaving at 0725 will be operated by the new plane and the return from London, AF1681 leaving at 0940 is on the same plane. This is every day except Wednesday. These fares require an overnight stay.
To get the test fares you must book by December 8 and fly at least one segment on a segment operated by the new flight.
For UK based passengers you will need to stay overnight at least.
