through mobile version I have the premium fare thread always up on my phone, so while in traffic I just popped in to look and saw this thread and immediately called AMEX to see if they see anything, and they did!

Please don't do what I do. HEHEHE YMMV. But am glad I did check

Well, my trip booked on delta.com is showing up as Premium Economy already on airfrance.us... anybody else who booked on delta.com showing up correctly as La Premiere?

EDIT: Though the seat selection still is for First Class, and I can pick 1A.. Weird.

I get the exact same question. That does not feel right.

I believe the JV makes it metal neutral. So any seat purchased via DL is basically the same as purchasing a DL operated flight despite the fact it is operated on AF. I could be wrong though.

Mine has shown that since booking, but I was able to select First (La Premiere) seats on both DL & AF websites.

If others are sitting in F in a month on these, that'll cinch the deal for me.

Why did you book on DL ticket stock? Don't you get significantly less MQMs, RDMs, etc?

(Or maybe you intended to give the fare in cents - in which case, it's correct and all's well )
yeah I definitely meant two orders of magnitude. not that I'm certain I'm right. But as I said in the post, I was talking about the base fare, which was in the $100-$150 each way range for me (I can't easily check right now). The remaining ~$1300 would be unaffected by the error.

I think DL is more likely to honor this than AF.
