I made a return flight booking but the return leg I entered 15th of January and meant to put 15th of February, I contacted the company to tell them of my mistake and they said they can change the flight but it would cost an extra 566 Euro which is over half the cost of the full return flight. They are only interested in profit and have no care or compassion for a person who makes a genuine mistake. I will now have to cut short my holiday to visit my fiancée, we were planning to marry this visit but now do not have enough time to do so. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

No (business) class at AirFrance
Bought two business class tickets from Copenhagen to São Paulo. Price around 39.000 DKK = 5.200 euros.
When I wanted to choose my seats I see to my surprise price that I have to pay extra around 200 Euros to choose two seats. I contact customer service since this clearly must be a mistake. But no. 2-3 monts ago AirFrance changed their politics on this and is now charging 100 euros a seat in business class. Or else I could wait and choose my seat for when checking in. And thus risk not being seated next to my girlfriend. This is the first airline I ever experince this kind og Ryan Air tricks in business class. I have within the last year flown business class with Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines and Swiss. None of these airlines practise this "scam".
And if AirFrance pull these tricks/have this "service" in business class then just emagine the things they do in economy class.
Next time I fly lang haul I will definetly not choose AirFrance.

Terrible, unresponsive customer service...if you can actually reach someone. Don't know how they get away with treating paying customers so poorly. Never again with Air France! Check out all the Facebook groups, they truly are the worst!

Horrible. Worst experience ever.
Horrible horrible service. I will never fly with you again. They are ignoring me and no one is helpful. It’s been OVER a week !!! They ruined my vacation. Please save yourself and fly with another company. I’ve been a flying blue member for over 10 years. I will take my business elsewhere. DO NOT BOOK WITH AIRFRANCE

It is unbelievable and I have never in…
It is unbelievable and I have never in my life experienced this.
We were stranded in Paris at CGG airport, went to Terminal C, to get an alternative flight.
This was Sunday night, next option: Tuesday night!
BUT the airfrance supervisor handed out a sheet of paper called “your trip” saying “WE WILL REFUND YOUR ADDITIONAL EXPENSES” in capital letters.
This includes, as described on the paper, transportation, housing and food for two people until the new departure flight. Given that airfrance didn’t have free capacity, we even had to stay at a hotel and pay it upfront, within the budget, to be reimbursed later.
Long story short, a week after the trip, I painstakingly put together all the records with receipts evidence, all in line with the instructions on the paper, and most importantly, after asking the supervisor three times,
Are you sure?! Yes, definitely, go ahead, this is how it is done. And this includes the fact that it was a bad weather event…
So I went online and did as was asked. The answer came within a day:
Dear Mr …,
I write in reference to your last e-mail dated 26 June 2023.
After carefully reviewing the records, I would like to reiterate that flight AF1610 from Paris to Hamburg on 11 June 2023 was canceled due to severe weather in Paris (thunderstorms). Hence, you were rebooked on the next alternative available flight on the following day. We can understand how inconvenient this situation can be. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused to you.
In line with current legislation, such conditions are considered to be beyond the control of the airline and do not entitle passengers to compensation. Hence, we must respectfully deny your request for compensation.
Despite this unfortunate experience, we hope to see you on board our flights again soon.
We value your loyalty to us.
Best regards,
Ravinder Singh
Air France and KLM Customer Care Assistant
And after this, I can only tell you to save time and forward your case to consumer protection entities. I did so with myflightright, and the case has been taken on with high chances of compensation beyond the original expenses.
airfrance, I stand by what I said in earlier emails – your utterly unprofessional conduct is a disgrace for such a beautiful country to call its national flagship carrier.

Air France lost my luggage 2 times in one go! Gave me a care pack containing a stained white T-shirt
Air France I traveled on the flight from London LHR - Paris CDG Wednesday 28/06/23 flight AF1381 and you lost my luggage!! The Service staff at CDG are all new kids, still trained who don’t know jack 💩. A claim was done for my luggage, it was found to still be in London. Your delivery company Chronopost was due to delivery my luggage at my final destination in Lyon. What happened? They LOST MY LUGGAGE!! What a great bunch on incompetents you both are! I had over £2500 of designer clothes, shoes, makeup, hair & skincare products, gifts for friends and not to forget the work tools as I am due next week in Germany for 3 days of conference for my 1 week at my new job! I’ve been anxious, crying and distraught for the last 3 days! How can this happen? London - Paris is 1h flight… how can you mess up something so simple. The worst part is that I’m a FlyingBlue member. Best believe, I want my things back, I’ve also gone to the police station to place a complaint and I want to be compensated for my emotional stress. I’ll never fly with Air France again.

Horrible customer service.
My luggage was damaged on a flight. My issue is with the customer service experience. They will repeatedly transfer you between departments until you simply give up.
