On our flight out at 840am it was a croissant on the way back it was a small pack of crackers. I'd definitely get something at the airport or have a snack in your bag

Snacks are usually small. I've had parsley bread sticks with sea salt and sesame seed and garlic mini crackers. Really enjoyed both of them. You also get one free drink of your choice too. As it is an Air France flight, the snacks and drinks offered are usually French branded and may be something flavor-wise etc. that we don't really have over here.

Agree with the "buy in Boots" comments. We have flown Air France from Manchester to CDG, in fact it was the first time I'd ever flown (my daughter was 3 at the time).   

You are in the air for such a short time, literally as it gets to cruising height its time to land!  Cabin crew are really helpful too.

You will have a fab time I'm sure x

Not sure if anyone can help. I'm flying Air France at the end of the month from Birmingham. I'm from Bristol and would usually fly Easyjet and you have to pay for your checked in luggage. Is that the case with Air France or is it included in the flight? I booked via Expedia if that helps.

Our Air France flights from Manchester always include luggage so would imagine yours would be the same.

You are not paying extra. Air France is not a low cost airline. Checked baggage (a piece) is in the price.

It's maximum 23 kg.

Brilliant thank you both. I've never flown with them before so it's good to have the clarification before traveling.

We flew to Disneyland Paris in December and flew with air France, we went from terminal 3 at Manchester, must say the journey from start to finish was easy and trouble free, on board we got a free snack and drink which was nice, CDG is well sign posted as we too took the shuttle to our hotel (Cheyenne) on the way back we couldn't find our ticket for the shuttle (the driver took ours on the journey in) and he had to ring Thomas Cook to verify our tickets other wise it would of been an expensive taxi trip to the airport lol just make sure you keep your shuttle ticket safe lol I'd definitely travel via air France again A star from us :)

I had a look on the Air France website against my Expedia booking reference and it said x1 Checked Baggage per person so I believe that is safe to assume it is included.

I didn't know that they had three price bands. That is helpful to know for the future.  :)

I'm wondering the same thing.. Flying out on 30th April.

I've been in contact with AF but they've been very unhelpful.

Same ! They said they will let people know 48 hours before but alot of people were not told until they arrived at the airport . I have already priced up going the night before but they won't transfer flights until they know it's cancelled . I read they have a meeting tomorrow to discuss the issues so if it isn't resolved then I may just pay to go the day before !

Unfortunately that is one of the risks of travelling with a French airline, industrial relations there tend to be... unstable at the best of times!

Yeah I can't afford to go earlier because of my job but I've got everything else booked but they won't even acknowledge to me that there may be another strike.

I'm hoping it'll be resolved, if not there is the Eurostar but I imagine they are upping their prices!

Yeah, it's not the airline though. It's the air traffic control so all carriers over France are affected eg easyjet, British airways, Ryanair.

It must be causing the airlines such a headache.
