Ok
Anybody have any other ideas? I'll hope for another 24 hours for a good answer from you folks and then I'll just give it back. Thanks for all your help. I should have kept a simple itinerary back and forth to LA. You live and learn, I guess.
What I'm wondering is if AF can sticker the AF flights, it might be worth a try to see what happens at the airport at an AF counter. They might must sticker the AA and AC flights as well, and I might just get lucky.
