And indeed the T&Cs seem to indicate "AIWLUTXV" fare classes. https://www.delta.com/us/en/booking-...n-certificates
Interesting, because while I do remember AILUTXV from before PAG were reallocated to be PS fares, and I do see from the page you linked that it still says A/I for first class, the AMEX T&C says I/Z:

https://www.americanexpress.com/us/c...0/#offer-terms

"Tickets are only available in I and Z classes of service for First Class travel, only available in W class for Delta Comfort+ travel, and only available in L, U, T, X, V classes of service for Main Cabin travel and may not be available on all flights or markets."
