| Bangkok (BKK) → Paris (CDG) | 14× | 12.3 | C | ฿12,959 |
The market-low column is the cheapest fare in our Travelpayouts cache on that corridor across all carriers, not a Air France-only price — use it as a floor when comparing.
The airline selling the ticket may not be the one flying it. Our catalogue records the carriers that appear on a corridor, including cases where one sells as marketing carrier on a partner’s aircraft. On a codeshare your baggage, seating and compensation rights attach to the operating carrier, not the name on the booking. Read the “operated by” line before assuming what you will get.
The frequency shown belongs to the corridor, not to this airline alone. The 14 weekly departures above sum the frequency of the routes Air France serves, and that count includes every other carrier on the same city pairs. To know how many rotations this airline actually operates on your dates, read its own schedule. We do not publish figures we have not captured.

Air France’s checked-baggage baseline is 23 kg.
What SkyTeam membership buys, and what it does not. It buys through-checked baggage on a single ticket, cross-carrier mileage earning and redemption, status-based lounge access, and a realistic chance of being moved onto a partner’s flight when yours is cancelled. It does not buy compensation rights. Those come only from the law of the jurisdiction involved, and no alliance extends them.
That 7/10 is our own score. Brand strength is an editorial assessment by our team for the Thai market, used to decide how deeply we cover a carrier. It is not a safety rating, not a punctuality rating and not a service score from any independent body. We say so here so you can weigh the number correctly.
Air France network & booking
Air France’s network in our catalogue covers 1 corridor, based at Paris (CDG). Cached fares across them run from ฿11,540 (BKK–CDG) to ฿11,540 (BKK–CDG). The bases we record for it are Paris (CDG). The checked-baggage baseline we record is 23 kg.
In this catalogue Air France’s network reaches 1 destination across 1 country — France. Most corridors serve Thai diaspora / VFR travellers. All fares are shown in Thai baht (THB); compare live prices and schedules for each city pair on the route pages, and infant fares run about 10% of the adult fare. The lowest fare in our cache across this network is about ฿12,959 on BKK-CDG — prices move with season, so check live fares before booking.
Our catalogue is not the airline’s full network. We build guides only for corridors relevant to travellers from Thailand. Air France may operate many routes that never appear here, so an absent corridor is not evidence the airline does not fly it. Check the official schedule when planning anything that does not start in Thailand.
Passenger rights & compensation
Air France appears on 1 corridor in our catalogue. Air France is registered in France, inside the EU/EEA. That means its flights fall under EU261 (Regulation 261/2004) both when departing an EU airport and when flying into the EU from outside — a rights advantage non-EU carriers on the same corridors do not have.
Air France is registered in the EU/EEA, so EU261 (Regulation 261/2004) reaches its flights out of any EU/EEA airport and — because of the carrier-nationality limb — its flights into the EU/EEA from outside as well. A 3+ hour delay or a cancellation (<14 days notice, extraordinary circumstances aside) qualifies for distance-based cash compensation:
| Flight distance | Compensation |
|---|---|
| < 1,500 km | €250 |
| 1,500–3,500 km | €400 |
| > 3,500 km (Thailand–Europe) | €600 |
Thailand–Europe routes sit in the >3,500 km band, so a qualifying claim is worth €600. Claim direct with the airline or via AirHelp (no-win-no-fee).
Baggage runs on a separate legal frame. Liability for baggage lost, damaged or delayed on an international journey sits under the Montreal Convention 1999 where both states are parties. Caps are denominated in SDR and revised periodically, so only the current figure is usable. Crucially this is independent of delay compensation: you can have no compensation claim and still have a baggage claim.
How Air France fits travellers
Air France appears on 1 corridor in our catalogue. Air France’s corridors in our catalogue distribute across passenger clusters as: Thai diaspora / VFR (1), with 1 flagged as labour/migrant corridors. The split is computed from our own route data, not from the airline’s marketing.
Air France’s catalogued routes matter most to the Thai diaspora / VFR segment(s). Its Paris (CDG) hub(s) are the main transit points. Compare schedules, baggage and fares against other carriers on the route pages before booking.
Why the cluster split matters to you. The dominant passenger group on a corridor sets several things the fare table cannot show. Labour and pilgrimage routes move groups with heavy baggage, which lengthens desk and gate times in particular hours; regional leisure routes travel lighter and process faster. Budget your airport time by the character of the corridor you are on, not by a general average.
Your rights do not change with the cluster you fall into. The segmentation on this page is an editorial tool for deciding what to explain where. It is not a fare class and it has no legal effect. Two passengers on the same flight who paid different prices for different reasons hold identical statutory rights. What actually changes them is the departure country, the carrier’s nationality and whether the flight is scheduled or chartered.

Air France in our fare record
Across 8 weekly fare captures on corridors Air France serves, the code AF appears as the carrier holding the low 0 times — 0%. Those corridors reach 1 destination in 1 country. Our own Thai-market brand-strength score for it is 7/10.
What this measures, and what it does not. We capture each corridor’s lowest fare once a week and record which carrier code that value was attached to. The 0% figure therefore says how often this airline surfaced as the cheapest option in the window we observed. It does not say whether the airline is expensive or cheap on average, and it says nothing about what the others charged that week. A low share is not evidence of a high price.
Why a weekly cadence misses promotions. We capture once a week per corridor, so a promotion that opens and closes inside a few days can go unrecorded entirely. That means this series systematically under-counts how often exceptional lows occur. Read it as a picture of price level, not as a deal-catching instrument.
FAQ
How many routes does Air France fly in the SiamFlights catalogue?
Air France (AF) serves 1 route relevant to travellers from Thailand in our catalogue.
What is Air France’s checked-baggage allowance?
A 23 kg baseline. Always confirm on the official site before travel.
Can I claim delay compensation from Air France?
Yes. Air France falls under EU261 on flights departing an EU/EEA airport and on flights into the EU/EEA that it operates itself; a qualifying 3+ hour delay or cancellation on a Thailand–Europe sector is claimable at €600 — direct or via AirHelp.
What alliance is Air France in?
Air France is a member of SkyTeam.
Is a Air France flight from Bangkok covered by the 261 rules?
Yes. Air France is registered in EU/EEA, and the 261 rules cover flights departing that zone whatever the carrier plus flights arriving into it from outside when the operating carrier is registered there. Non-EU/EEA carriers on the same corridor fail that second limb.
Does the Air France infant fare include a seat?
No. The roughly 10% rate applies to a lap infant with no seat of its own. A separate seat makes it a child fare, priced as a share of the full fare.
Is the low-fare column Air France’s own price?
No. It is the cheapest fare our cache recorded on that corridor across every carrier serving it. On a multi-carrier route the low may belong to a competitor.
