For those who think travel is overrated on Air France – good news! There’s another strike today (7th May), going through to the 8th May.
Air France is expecting to operate 85% of its schedule on the 7th May, with an updated plan for the 8th May to come.

The exact splits between the routes according to Air France are:
- 99% of long-haul flights
- 80% of medium-haul flights to and from Paris Charles de Gaulle
- 87% of short-haul flights to and from Paris-Orly and French provinces
Of course, it goes without saying that last-minute delays and cancellations are on the cards.
Services operated by Air France and Joon will probably be impacted. Those operated by HOP! or by codeshare airlines (KLM) are not affected.

Those holding tickets can postpone until the 27th May, or take a voucher to use against another flight.
Air France is in a bit of a state – and it didn’t help when their CEO resigned on Friday after cabin crews rejected a pay deal.
Expect this strike to turn bitter.
