Before then, it was showing up properly, and the ticket was correctly showing WHWLSUS/D531 for the fare code. Buyer beware to leave extra time...
Could you provide additional details? This was obviously AF-operated, correct? I've got WHWLSUS/FM01 and WHWLSUS/PU503 flights this summer, and my confidence in the integrity of my upgrades is seriously waning. I'm deeply regretting not flying DL nonstop, but the savings associated with an AF connection in CDG were material. But obviously not if I wind up in Y.
