If you want a sybaritic time of it, leave your friend behind and do FC on Air France via ATL, IAH, MIA, JFK, or YYZ. 100,000 and you are off! I just booked 2 FC trips... DAL/IAH/CDG/FLR/CDG/IAH/DFW open jaws last week for the end of next April for 10 days. All are AF except the Texas flights, which are CO.

With SkyTeam, you can use any combination of DL, AF, CO, NW, Virgin and Alitalia that works for you. Good luck! ^
