MIAMI – Due to the current travel restrictions, Air France (AF) will operate half of its flight schedule for November and December 2020.
According to the airline, it will serve 170 destinations by January 3, 2021. That is almost all of its daily winter network, with frequencies tailored to demand levels.
Upon departure from Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Paris-Orly (ORY), and Lyon Saint-Exupéry (LYS), AF will operate 43 routes domestically, most of them offering day-to-day return flights. In Europe, the carrier will serve 67 destinations, totaling the airline’s entire daily network for this time of the year, according to worldairlinesnews.com.
Capacity deployed on AF’s long-haul network will continue with an upward trend, particularly to destinations in the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean, with additional frequencies on departures from DCG to Fort-de-France (FDF) and Pointe-à-Pitre (PTP), and on departures from ORY to Saint-Denis de La Réunion (RUN).

A Flexible Booking Policy
If customers choose to cancel their journey, their ticket can now be changed to the date and destination of their choosing, at no extra cost and without evidence. They are able to submit a refundable credit voucher if they choose. These steps, which have maximum versatility, apply until March 31, 2021, for all trips.
If the airline cancels their flight, passengers can opt to delay their journey at no additional expense, change their destination, request a full refund of the fare, or obtain a credit voucher which, if not used, is also refundable.
Last but not least, as with most airlines, AF recommends its customers to check the entry and travel requirements for their destination and transit countries with the relevant authorities or on its website. AF also reminds travelers that mask-wearing and temperature checks are mandatory, assuring that aircraft undergo cleaning procedures with an approved virucidal product.
