True, but that availability is for members of the AF-FB program, not Skymiles members. Just dealt with this and you can see my own experience posted here a day or so ago; long story short, the AF availability on my return segment showed wide open on EF right up to the end, but I was using Skymiles and Delta was never able to offer it to me, in spite of a lot of phoning day by day. No real reason for this that I can see, on the day of travel the Affaires cabin was still half empty, so I have to wonder if AF is applying some quota as to what is made available to Skymiles, regardless of loads. But clearly SOME availability is out there at 100K, I did at least have my outbound confirmed.

On the other hand many of the Delta agents I spoke with through many weeks told me that AF was by far the best bet compared with KL where they seldom found anything available for the 100k level.
