I've learned my lesson - there are times when the deal is so good that you just have to book it first and ask later 
. I just realized that I booked my week overlapping a family reunion I am supposed to go to. We'll see how it plays out..
You'll be able to cancel penalty free with these fares, but you won't be able to change things without paying the difference between this mistake fare and the normal P fare - which means you're on the hook for an easy five figures.

Whew. I need a shower after that.
My 6 reservations are showing as active on AF. Indeed, when I went to check 15 minutes ago, it showed one still "awaiting payment".
I had changed my mind on that one two hours earlier and thought it was lost. When I clicked thru, it let my buy at the $1,515. price.
Since these are fully refundable and changeable, there wasn't much risk buying these even when the dates and/or equipment are not perfect.

There is car transfer both ways. At LHR arrival you generally won't have someone escort you through security, though it does happen at other outstations.

Well at least I got the 640€ AMS-TYO-AMS QR deal (Y) this year followed by 3 more QR deals :P Also I try to keep in mind it might be a good idea to book some error fares multiple times spread across the year. Helps to get to a high tier too ...

This was a fully flexible fare, so while the deal was still valid you could change your flights on the Air France website to pick other combinations that weren't offered by the booking tool.
Given that the fares have been repriced, there is no scope now to change flights without being hit with a reprice.

Are you sure you are using the correct confirmation number?
(For the avoidance of all doubt: You need to look this up on the Air France or KLM websites; if booked directly from Air France, the Amadeus PNR won't work on any other website)
If you are using a Delta-issued PNR, then that won't work on the Air France website (the airlines, though partners, use different GDSes)

I had the same issue - was stuck with my FB number (because I booked it while I was logged in on my FB account). 10 minutes with the Diamond line and they were able to swap out my DL SM # no problem. I wouldn't worry about it right now (unless you're flying tomorrow or something), but it should be no problem to swap the number out at any point.

you're quite likely right, but if you're not, it sure would hurt to not have a horse in the race.

I actually suspect it's two orders of magnitude off, just going by the base fare. lots of fees and taxes on this one.
