With regards to baggage as a delta medallion on AF, will they allow anything over 50lbs for skyteam elite plus? Unclear if that's possible from the website.

Delta, on the other hand, has never made me do this despite the 50lb limit on international (even for Medallion).

AF not giving Delta benefits
I booked a ticket on AF (as I do many times a year) and now they are saying that I cannot take a checked bag. First the rep said it was because of my connection with VA, I called VA and they said my ticket allows a bag.
I have gotten about 5 different answers from the reps on line. The whole partnership with AF is a mess, AF treats me like crap because I do not have status with *them* but it makes no sense to have two different Skyteams accounts.
Does anyone have a idea of a contact that can talk to both AF and DAL?

Is your status showing on the AF website when you go to manage your booking? If not, during check-in you'll have the opportunity to add your Skymiles again and the status will show. Last resource is the check-in agent at the airport, if for any reason the system doesn't waive the bag fee automatically, they can manually waive it once you show your credentials.

My status now show, and the return leg shows a bag allowance. AF insists (even though VA says it’s included) I have to pay for the bag, and they can’t tell me how much, I have to find out at the airport.I was actually at CDG today for another flight and was going to ask, but the SkyPriority line was at the very least an hour plus long.
Thank goodness I was just taking a carryon today. I am extremely reluctant to take a bag that must be checked and hope that there is someone at the counter with an ounce of sense and will follow the program rules!
Was going to post a pic of the insane CDG sky priority line today, but not allowed until 5 posts. I fly from CDG multiple times a month and have NEVER seen anything like this.

The whole partnership with AF is far from being a mess. It was a mess years ago but it has matured over the years and a large number of issues have been corrected. That being said, there might be a few glitches now and then like the one you are experiencing.

Sometimes I have needed to contact AF/KLM on whatsapp or facebook messenger to add my DL SkyMiles number to an AF or KLM booking, but then have never had a problem being able to see my actual DL status and the updated baggage allowance in the booking on the AF website or the app. So far my experience has been the partnership works very well on AF/KLM.

What is your DL status? What routing is your ticket AND how were flights marketed?
A STE+ member will get at least 1 free bag on any AF fare, as long as checkin is with AF or a ST carrier.

Next summer I have a LHR - MCO PS ticket. If I start the day at CDG and take a o/w AF flight, this should mean I can check my bag all the way thru CDG-LHR-MCO, correct? Will be Silver medallion in 2023

Back in the day (probably like 2018 and earlier), I'm pretty sure I remember that KLM would extend the economy comfort benefit to at least one non-status companion (unsure if they had to be on the same PNR). Is that still the case? Specifically for revenue tix
Delta's website suggests no.
The FlyingBlue phone line said only for milage tickets. Or at least that's what I think she said... it was difficult to understand.
Thanks in advance!
