That $100 fare looks like a placeholder figure used internally prior to finalizing/publishing the fares. It's certainly not a currency conversion issue. Anyway, just a guess.

Agent we're shocked of the price, didn't want to confirm the ticket at this price.
Asked for a supervisor, who after an hour on the line, sent me the confirmation and ETKT number.
He confirmed me he spoke with his superior and they accepted the error.
Have a nice flights guys!
It is not for some call-centre supervisor to decide.

I believe we are slowly transitioning from the euphoria phase to the "worried but hoping for the best" phase.

(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)
Where would I get the AF PNR if I have a DL PNR (booked on delta.com).

You surely don't mean to suggest that the going rate shoud have been $151,500????
(Or maybe you intended to give the fare in cents - in which case, it's correct and all's well )
The base fare on my RTs is $216, so $21,600 base would be about right.

Spoke with someone who is knowledgeable on the situation and Delta is responsible for pricing these AF F fares. Let's hope the recent ATL madness will result in AF/DL honoring these fares and avoiding more bad press. Possible Delta will cut AF a check for any losses.

This American does.... Though I can't imagine there's a huge number of Americans working at AF HQ.

Very genuinely curious how something like this would work. The fares weren't exclusively available via DL, I bought my ticket direct on the AF website, which I believe is a different distribution system than what DL uses. How would they be able to fat-finger this, logistically?

Doesn't make sense - or you are saying DL has control over how much AF charges their fare? I booked my ticket on AF.com with AF flight numbers.

Yes, they are JV partners and do work together on pricing fares, but I suspect both airlines still independently determine and file their own fares.
