Experience cancelling or rescheduling with Air France

I had no trouble changing my Air France reservation on line. There was a very small extra charge 4.80€ or so, but nothing else. Good luck with your trip. I have used Air France for years and have never been disappointed.

No experience, but the common sense recommendation right now is do not act at this time. You are talking about travel 4 months out, people are trying to get through to airlines about travel next week and having to wait hours. You have time.

I would spend some time on Air Frances website, they will issue guidance as to what routes they are relaxing cancellation policies on, London to Africa may not be on that list yet, but as things get worse in the UK, it will be. That will be the time to cancel.

One thing that is not maybe clear, that may be critical, did you book this leg separately directly with Air France? Or did you book through a Partner Airline or Third Party (Expedia, Cheapo Air)? Point being, your cancellation may need to start with the entity you booked with.

Since you have until late April, I strongly suggest holding off until that time. Who could imagined even a month ago where we are today? I think time is your friend here, not your enemy. Wait and see what happens next before making big financial decisions.

Thanks, I plan to hold off on contacting them until June. Their policies on cancelling or rescheduling are fair and may be extended into July.
