After I got the downgrade email from AF, I called and asked for confirmation that I was not going to be getting what I paid for. I was somewhat abrupt and to the point, simply wanting the details for the record so that I could go about taking appropriate action (as I have done (successfully) in the past). After a short hold, the agent said my ticket had been reinstated as booked. No questions. I have no doubt that the agent had no clue about AF claiming the fare was an error and suspect she simply viewed it as an itinerary that got shaken up by the virus.

Not for several weeks yet. However, the dates I have at the moment no longer suit me because of the pandemic. I'm hoping for a fare difference waiver or at least a schedule change that will give me some room to move.

Try to change your date of origin in the 300 miles radius. That saves you the way to ALG. It worked very well with a lot of BUD-US booking on Delta Stock. Also the date change to 2021 shouldn´t be a problem.

I didn't know about the 300 mile change possibility. Thank you. However, I think the only AF destinations within 300 miles of ALG are Palma de Mallorca and Oran which isn't a lot of options.

Depending on the agent also a bit further origins like BCN should be an option. There have been a few successful changes in the BUD-fare that prove this. PMI should also be easier than ALG regarding entry rules.

Same here, still have 1A 
Still, have some months to go before flight but starting to get itchy now. Think getting a refund at this stage would be hard, had to get ticket reinstated twice now.
Will see, at the end of the day, it's all part of the ff fun & games.

Pretty sure this was originally F for the TATL and J for others, as it was a fully refundable ticket. Not sure where original code/rules are, I already refunded mine.
