I believe KL's website (which does talk to the AF systems properly) will take DL PNRs, which is another option for checking your record.
Sorry you had a rough experience, but glad that you made it on the planned flight in the end!
Thanks for the welcome to FT and for the help. We are recently retired and are hoping to become well versed in all things related to travel. As I browse through the forums, I realize what newbies we really are!
