exact date choices?

I hope you had a fantastic time.

We can leave JFK anytime starting Thursday June 24. We want to arive in Cairo by Saturday June 26.
We are flying SLC - JFK.

I wasn't too worried until they canceled last nights flight and the night before it looks like they had a bunch of seats open but left without any non revs. No I'm thinking we may have a big problem getting to Cairo.

Any suggestions would as always be greatly appreciated.

no idea why canceled
I would opt for 23rd to CAI
AMM flight on 23rd has nothing but buddy pass riders
travelnet has had some major issues last few days

I cna answer most of those tomorrow AM. no crew hotel--but great deals using Accorhotels (does anyone use that?) off to bed--I'm whipped after NOT getting to LIMA for 3 days due to storm delays

Is there anyway to look at the # of standby's on the Air France flights without listing?
All I know of is paid membership ASU or Iddeals and that's not as accurate as AF--why not list then remove?

Is the ranking that Air France gives you, your place on the list? If they rank us 3 and we have 3 passengers, would we be 3,4,5?
I believe so.

If we purchased a ZED on Air France, should we purchase 2 seperate segments JFK - CDG and then CDG to CAI, or one JFK - CAI?
Is there AF after the DL flights? Otherwise, I'd go to ATL for next day and fly DL metal.

If the JFK - CDG arrives at 12:30 and the CDG - CAI leaves at 13:35 does that give us enough time? Do we have to recheck in when we get to CDG?
I exchanged a zed at the AF counter after deplaning (when I flew CSA CGD/PRG on misconnect) I only had carry-on.

If we purchase the ZED, and can't get on a flight do they let us relist for another flight? Can we relist and change the city pairs like the ticket reads CDG - CAI, we don't make the flight can we try and go CDG - AMM on the same ticket?
I don't think so--AAZed should know

Does Air France only let you fly economy even if they have First Class seats available?
Never upgraded---last time they said "not possible" when they looked at our zeds

I can't find detail on the dress code for Air France, it says business casual, but I can't find any details.
I wear Eddie Bauer travex pants and light sweater or linen shirt (almost all the time--my travel uniform!! haha) Similar for husband.
Nice casual footwear. (i wore Sketchers walking sandals--Teva look--he wears black leather washable walkers)

We are taking 1 carry on each and then a small backpack each (No Purse and one of the backpacks has our laptop and camera. Do you think that would be okay?
Almost the same for us--I can put my handbag inside the zipoff pack on the front of my Sierra roller. As long as they're legal size.

If we have to overnight in CDG, do you know if there is a crew hotel?
Novotel Roissy is close; free shuttle and Accor discount--shuttle also serves Ibis and about 10 other hotels in that loop. Ck CDG website for more info on that area.
Crew hotel is near Eiffel and costs about E10 each way pp on 2 trains and a walk to hotel. HArdly ever have rooms avail so no discount. Taxi was $50US

Thanks for all your help.
Tina

I'm here for any more q's. I would always advise DL metal when possible.
