As opposed to the information disclosed in the press this morning, Air France has no intention of making heavier passengers pay for a second seat.

However, Air France plans to make one single change to its service starting 1 February, which is to refund heavier passengers the cost of the second seat in economy they have purchased, if the Economy cabin is not fully booked.

Since 2005, Air France has been offering heavier passengers the possibility of purchasing a second seat to ensure they travel in optimum comfort and safety. This second seat benefits from a 25% discount.
