We have flown air France twice so far and booked for August ,not had a problem with them infact
preferred them to others we have flown with ,

I flew with them many moons ago, but still to this day stand by the fact they have the best pilots for landing. Sounds weird, but smoothest landings ever. I flew return with them about 4 times, I think!

I’m looking at all carriers at the mo as like you Eurostar is sold out for May half term.
Air France seem to have the same prices as Easy Jet and Flybe / Jet 2. However seem to have better flight time options.

Still looking at £700 for all for us though!

See more...

If it's their own planes, and not a shared service, then the Air France planes tend to be bigger, too. X

I went to DLP twice last year and flew with Air France both times - never again! First time delayed for just under 3 hours, second time delayed and then diverted & just dumped in Orly airport - they didn't care after they'd finally landed us at Orly.

I'm going with FlyBe in May instead

If direct Eurostar is fully booked, have you looked at the indirect Eurostar service yet? You still book the journey with Eurostar for London to Marne La Vallee, but the journey would then be London to Lille with Eurostar then Lille to Marne La Vallee with the TGV. Think they usually release these tickets about 90 days out (when TGV tickets become available).

(I think Paris CDG airport is one of the worst airports I've flown through and would avoid if at all possible! Confusing layout, can spend ages walking to the gates, not much to do once past security.)
