I am trying to book a direct flight from SFO (san Francisco) to Paris leaving late August and returning to SF late September.
I have noticed the following:
If I book the same dates from SFO to LHT (London Heathrow) through AF, I would pay almost HALF what I would pay for the same trip to Paris. To add insult to the injury, it would be on the exact same plane than the direct flight SFO-CDG! I would then hop from CDG to LHT.
A call to your customer service led to the answer that it was a different market and therefore different pricing.
I am an expat trying to use a French airline. But Air France is not making itself loved by the sizable French community in the Bay Area.
