I was looking at the official Air France site today and noticed they have a couple of flights that are not on our system. Like Paris to St Maarten. Are we allowed to fly these? Much like the Alaska codeshares which have delta flight numbers?

All Air France flights are acceptable to PIREP except if they are codeshare flights with another airline. For example the Air France flight from CDG-SXM is acceptable, because it is flown with AF metal, but there is also an AF flight from SIN-SYD that is operated by Qantas which is not acceptable as a PIREP.

Please note that Air France and KLM Royal Dutch have merged, so you will be seeing more and more blue liveries on what are currently flown exclusively by Air France. I recommend downloading the Air France TravelDesk - the AF timetable - from http://www.airfrance.us as this will allow you to stay current on routes, sceduled equipment, times, call signs, etc. Additionally, if you find routes in our system that are either no longer valid, require updating, or are non existent, please send us an email so that we may research and address this concern.
