Another 15 minutes he came back and said that it is 25k because it's a DL W fare, it would have been 15k for the AF W fare (which was ~$4k more), and confirmed and reissued the ticket. No luxury tax though, since I am only transiting CDG.

Oh well. 20k more than I hoped to spend, but with any luck the AVOD will be out and I'll get 20k back, right?
