People who claim to have tickets in F are probably looking at their ghost seat selection in 1A on the Delta app hoping that they stay in LP, not realizing that their ticket has already been reissued into J.

Oh I forgot that the reservation numbers changed for Delta. So it very well might be that some tickets look like there in F. At the same time that would mean that people who think there in F ignored AF reissue emails

Yes, very condoscending. He thinks they are doing us a favor by putting us in an outdated, inferior business class seat. That seat is certainly not worth the ALG troubles

Since super discounted economy runs at 200-250 EUR round trip between Europe and US these days, and this fare was around 500 EUR one way, it is 4-5 times the price of super discounted economy, so more or less discounted business class (that runs at 1000-1300 EUR round trip these days). The only bonus is that this fare is refundable, and hopefully subject to the EU downgrade compensation that would indeed make it a "discounted economy" fare.

Depends which gateway you picked (I got an 777), but I do agree that is one condescending email. Somehow feel like it is coming from the LP desk where someone is pissed that someone tried to get the seat on the cheap.

If there was such disdain for the ticket existing, they could have just cancelled them and been done with us. However they put up with us because they need the cash rn.

ALG-US west coast goes for 1450 Euros round trip. So for business it isn't like it is a deeply discounted ticket unless you need to only fly one-way. which opens up the can of why one-way tickets TA are so expensive.
Economy is 565 so lets just be honest in this case it doesn't make a huge difference if it is EU or North Africa. The airlines servicing these routes are more or less the same and they all offer at least one stop options so they compete with each other and drive the prices down. The same way they do in the EU.

You missed the point. Nobody booked this fare because they already are in ALGs. This was booked by Americans looking for a way home or by Europeans looking to get to the US.
This was a complex and interesting way to go from C2 to C1. in style.
