And, as I said earlier, based on my experience, I don't care if this loophole gets closed. I should rather pay extra and get a ticket directly from Delta than buy it from Air France, saving a couple bucks and having to endure a ton of irritation.
It is a “light” fare with AFKLM. It may allow seat selection, but nowhere does it say that Light fares are entitled to complimentary upgrades on Delta.
You knew this was a hack. You knew it was a way to save money, then you did it and complain, saying you don’t care of the loophole is closed because you’ll pay more next time?
Wow, gee thanks, how magnanimous...not. You wanted to save the money and get the added benefits. Some of the rest of us care about the loophole because we can work with it without getting bent out of shape.
Next time please definitely buy the main fare and then don’t start a thread on how to hack BE internationally...
Slightly off-topic, but just for your future reference.
When running into something like this on flyertalk, I suggest looking it up in other sources than the ones you picked.
