The "unfortuinately on AF" was a somewhat tongue-in-cheek remark. They're always on strike! Not to mention that the DL award for the AF Concorde is 40,000(?) miles more expensive per ticket than the comparable awards for the BA Concorde. However as I have about 180k miles "invested" in my DL account, AF it is! I too hope that AF is around and they haven't pulled the award when I want to use it. You can be sure I'll book the trip the minute I have the requisite 320k miles safely ensconced in my DL account.
