- DL is the only airline still honoring E+ and letting other airline elites book economy comfort for free.

Honestly, how difficult can it be to do what DL is doing across the alliance?!
AF is notorious for not only not allowing Delta Elite Plus passengers to book EC seats, but if one is lucky enough to manage that, AF removes that seat within 3 days of the flight and they said "sorry, it is all under airport control". Air France is a shame to the Sky Team alliance.
