So following up on this thread, Will I have to go through passport control when I land in CDG or when I land in Slovenia? Also, will my bags be checked through to Slovenia or will I have to claim in CDG and recheck for the HOP FLT?

AF/KLM do not extend Sky Team Elite baggage benefits to companions who don't have their own status. The companion will have to pay, though this may not happen when checking in with DL in the US, expect it when returning from Europe. The only benefits that I am aware of that are extended to companions are:
-Access for one guest to lounges
-Ability to use Sky Priority check in/security and boarding with elite member.
-Access for one guest to lounges
-Ability to use Sky Priority check in/security and boarding with elite member.

I would imagine at CDG if Slovenia is non-Schengen. However, if you exit the airport to visit Paris, which you should do IMHO, then, definitely you'll have to go thru passport control.

I'm a Delta Gold on a KLM-ticketed, AF-operated A380 out of IAD and had to pay for the duo seats online. I got a 50 percent discount as a GM but my partner, who is on my record, was full price (it only came out to $60 total and I think it's well worth it). Is this standard? We purchased one of the cheapest fare classes, so that may also have had something to do with it. Our baggage allowance says hand baggage only, but I am assuming I get one free checked bag as STE+ but that he does not, even though he's on my record. Is this correct?

Bags will go to Slovenia directly. You will clear immigration at CDG. For the return, you will clear exit immigration at CDG but you might have to go through immigration twice at CDG as they are randomly sending Schengen flights to passport control.
