No points were deducted from my account and I never got to the point of making the copay with my credit card. Imagine my surprise when I go to my bookings and see the booking there, with a PNR, ability to select seats, etc. I tried calling the service center to make sure they deduct the points from my account and make the copay, but there is no way to reach anyone until 9am on Monday (I'm based in the US and have no status on Air France/KLM's Flying Blue, only Delta). What should I do? Do I have an actual booking or is this a phantom booking that will disappear? I want to pay with my points and credit card to secure the booking, but have no idea how to reach out to anyone - and on the Air France/Flying Blue site, it looks as though it's ticketed, with no ability to pay anywhere. I don't want the award seats to disappear by Monday when I can reach an actual human.
You reached the point where a PNR was created but payment is still pending and you need indeed to call to finish the process (pay, ticket emission). If you don't, the PNR usually auto-cancels after midnight or less than 24hrs after "booking".
