Booking doubt
Hi,
I am looking to book an international flight to asia.flying usa to india.
I see decent deal on an air france. The ticket can be booked either air france or delta (same air france flight)
Is it better to book the flight on air france since it gives me 2 check in baggage or should i book on delta. Will delta still give me the 2 baggage or will it be delta's 1 free baggage policy apply?(delta doesn't show the baggage allowed)
I dont have status with either. Also, never flew air france. How is air france economy flying?

If you have no status with either airline, it's best to book directly with the operating carrier. That way, it will be much easier to deal with unexpected irregular operations, such as delays, misconnections or cancellations.

If these are AF flights (performed by AF) you should book with AF and not their partner DL. Better to book direct and not through a partner and then you know the bagage rules etc from the outset. As stated above booking through a partner can turn out to be a nightmare in case of of rebooking due to delay, cancellation etc.
In Economy there is no real difference between most carriers. AF is fine/ a solid carrier. European, not US.

I haven't flown Air France in years, so I can't opine on their economy class.
