Air France's new policy on face masks will make it more challenging to swig the good stuff from the comfort of your suite.

This is interesting, I just called priceline and they said the refund process has not started because they do not have control of the ticket. Looks like i'm back to square one after a month of waiting being told by the lovely gentlemen in Priceine that it will be done.

Two tickets:
One initiated April 1st -- still pending
One reissued back on 006 stock before refunding -- went through and credited same day
Guessing anything still on AF stock will need to be manually processed, and the manual processing backlog is 30 biz days+. For future people refunding, try to get an agent who will retake control of the ticket before refunding.

Yes it is, what a waste of time. I've submitted a chargeback to my credit card company hopefully it works.

006 is Delta ticket stock. Generally it doesn't matter unless something goes wrong. In this case the problem is different refund times. Other times they can play games as who you should be talking to change the ticket (which has also happened here).
For me the worst situation in the operating carrier not owning the ticket has been being more or less forced to spend another night abroad at the same time seeing multiple flights they can put me on. Both sides couldn't decide who should rebook me.

I will always book such fares with Chase in the future. The money was back in my card immediately. Amex takes week processing disputes.

I haven't refunded the ticket yet as I am thinking of visiting Algeria so the ticket is useful. If I do change anything the first thing I'll be looking for is to get the ticket back to Delta stock so I can limit the mess and confusion.
