I didn't have to pay the €70 fee either even though I'm not sure that the change from AF to DL metal justified a no charge cancellation for a lowly Explorer member.
I believe at least for a booking to/from the US, the DOT regulations require a free refund be offered if the operating carrier changes (this includes switches from mainline to regional, but would definitely cover a switch between AF and DL).
