I therefore have one question = so if the 3rd party TA was able to offer what goldorak wanted , does it mean that they are subject to different rules and access to different inventory ?
Correct. We still file fares with AF* or KL* so it's a choice as to which is displayed - for our online touchpoints, for better or worse the choice was made to display DL* in order to sell Y+ fares given the overall value of that was determined outweigh the value of (for example) Ultimates wanting to book AFKL* for the UXP. There's nothing stopping the OTAs (or our agents in the call centres, if you want to call and book it that way) from selling the AFKL* itinerary.
