I don't think having SkyTeam ElitePlus status on DL rather than AF/KLM affects eligibility to use the AF arrivals lounge at CDG currently, which now seems to require arrival on a long haul flight in business class for everyone, but in the past I think some AF/KLM elites were admitted after arriving in coach.
Thanks for the information! I guess if the status does not show up on the AF/KLM boarding passes, I can still get the benefits by showing my (digital) DL membership card?
