Delta Gold on Air France
Will be flying to Slovenia in September and have a few questions?
Delta award tickets economy
ATL to CDG then HOP to Ljublana on AF flt
Ljublana to CDG via Hop the AF A380
cdg to ATL.
As Delta Gold ( also skyclub member)I know both my wife and I can access Skyclub in ATL, what lounges can we use at CDG since we have a 5 hr layover.
Also. Seating on 380 economy upper deck, best seats?
Would prefer duo seats
thx

You will have access to the 2G lounges prior to your Hop! flight.
A380 upper deck, all non-middle section seats are duo, upper deck is 2-4-2. Avoid the last row if possible.

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?

Looks like breakfast in the lounge. Return layover in CDG is about 23 hours. We land at 5 pm and don’t take off till 1:30 the next day.
I'm thinking we carry a change with us store our bags at airport, take a train into Paris dinner, hotel then head back onto airport about 10am!

You could always explore the Sheraton option right at the airport terminal. So you could land, check-in, store luggage in your room, RER to Paris, dinner, and Uber back to the airport late at night... That way you are not in a rush to get up early and just go straight to your flight check-in at 11:30 am

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

I've used Uber to go from Paris to CDG anytime between 3 AM and 11 PM and never had an issue. Also always find Ubers no matter how late (early) I request them to move from one place to another.
