Curious if they'll actually deny this if a person is thin enough.
What a person looks like does not matter, it's what they identify as..

Between paying for the infants ticket (10%?) and the seat, there's not much savings left.
With a chance of a refund on the cost of the seat if there is an empty seat in Economy.

Seems to me that the free seat applies in all cabins “Air France will reimburse the entirety of your 2nd seat fare if there are unoccupied seats in your cabin”
The 25% discount on 2 seat in economy only...
Would be a great deal on flights with low loads

Didn't realize it earlier, but the point is that no one would pay for an extra J or F and be will to pay for the seat. 25% off an Economy Ticket may be worth it

So for example



1st seat is $1,114.76
2nd seat is $270
Infant is about $112
Total maximum for adult+inf in guaranteed seat: $1,496.76 with possible refund of $270.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Why assume the carrier surcharge is excluded? It's not a tax.

Good question. I'm not sure why I was under the impression that I saw base fare somewhere.

Interesting. They refund the second seat if there's an empty seat anywhere in Economy on the plane. And you don't pay taxes. I'm assuming that includes YQ?
That's what I asked...

Southwest allows you to book a free 2nd seat in the first place.
Good time to start a thread on this if someone wants.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Golus is becoming way too comfortable for us. We feel entitled. Some of us will blow it for the rest of us.

If someone's psak says not to sit next to a woman under any circumstances, he really needs to limit flying to almost never. It means being ready to ask politely once, and if not forthcoming to walk off the plane and forfeit the tickets.

Very well said.

Say what?

Why wouldn't everyone book a 2nd seat if it's free?

Yes.
This is the other side of the story and I'll let everyone decide who is right
It was on the CDG-TLV leg.
PAX asked a FA politely if he can help him switch, to which he replied with attitude that he can either sit in his seat or get off the aircraft, they started arguing and at some point the FA told him "you can fly elal if you wants this privilege" and just walked away, so he went and sat down in a empty fake J seat.  FA came to PAX again and said "you have to pay for this seat" so PAX offered to pay but FA refused. At the end they moved someone else from Y to J and he got that seat.
Sitting down in a cabin you didn't pay for, is totally unacceptable IMHO, and it's יצא שכרו בהפסידו
