Over on the DL and AF boards, there appears to have been numerous problems encountered by DL elites flying AF metal. I am curious as to how DL elites are treated when flying other SkyTeam partners - Alitalia, Korean Air, Aeromexico, Czech Air. Also, how about elites on these other airlines, including AF, and the treatment they receive on DL and each other.</font>
Alitalia has treated me very well ... but they did so before they knew I was DL PM!
In contrast, AF with a *purchased* F ticket refused entry to the F lounge at CDG and it took intervention by a supervisor to get the F lounge access -- for a full fare F ticket! There was no apology for this shoddy treatment ... and I haven't flown AF since then (so this was a very expensive behaviour on their part). I shudder to think how a mere PM is treated by AF if they don't even value their own customers! And the F lounge in CDG isn't that special, hardly worth protecting.
Skyteam seems to be disfunctional when it comes to cross-airline privileges.
