Very excited to have been able to take advantage of this last week for Phl-dtw-cdg-Rak and return for $1028. 20k Amex offer just deposited too.
A quick public service announcement for the Delta folks who booked an AF ticket looking to earn Skymiles: DO NOT open up this ticket to select a seat or check in on the AF website if you’re logged in and have a Flying Blue account. There’s an IT issue, discussed elsewhere on FT, that automatically connects your Flying Blue number to the flight and no matter what you do, the Flying Blue number sticks and the flights credit to AF. I learned this the hard way over the summer when I used the AF app to check in. Despite calling to put my skymiles number back on AND double checking at the ticket counter AND my skymiles number appearing on the boarding pass, it still credited to Flying Blue (that’s the IT issue part). Was a massive headache to fix after the flights. So for this one I purchased the ticket and selected seats without logging in and am
skipping the AF app completely when time to travel.
