Will I or wont I be able to use the Air France lounge traveling on an AF ticket in Coach Class in Paris. According to the web site, yes. Although, this was the rule when the alliance was AKA No-Name/AF-DL Alliance. Back then (2 months ago) AF politely told me to go to hell. I even had the DL PM book with me, same exact text as below.

Would anyone like to give me Las Vegas odds?
