In theory you can call Delta and have them book using AF flight numbers.

Using Y or above in the advanced search feature can usually duplicate a fare found on AF. Now granted, sometimes it takes a while - but it's a personal challenge to me to get delta.com to work properly
And I'm booking leisure travel so I don't mind waiting....

I search for S or above at delta.com and that usually gets me a few PE options. Look for results that say 'mixed cabin' and you will usually see the TATL leg in PE.
Expedia is much, much easier. But if you have a DL credit or discount you're stuck trying to force delta.com to sell you these fares.
