What is the Air France Manage Booking Tool?

What is the Air France Manage Booking Tool?

Air France’s “Manage Booking” (sometimes displayed as “My Booking”) is one of the most powerful self-service tools in the industry. Once your ticket is issued, you can log in anytime, from 331 days to just 2–3 hours before departure, and make almost any change without ever speaking to an agent… unless you want to. And if you don’t want to, that’s precisely why CheapFlyFinder exists.

With this tool, you can:
  • Rebook to an earlier or later flight
  • Switch to a non-stop flight instead of a connection
  • Add checked baggage or special items
  • Move from Economy to Premium Economy, Business, or La Première
  • Select the exact seat you want (window, aisle, bulkhead, upper deck on A380, etc.)
  • Order special meals or request assistance
  • Cancel and instantly see the refund or credit amount
  • Add your Flying Blue or partner frequent flyer number
