I was reading through past posts on here that Delta is not a great airline for international flights, and we just booked with Delta for our trip in September, so now I%26#39;m sort of bummed.
But I%26#39;m curious- the flight we got is a Delta flight operated by Air France. So does that mean it%26#39;s a Delta plane but everything else about it will be the way Air France does it? Does that make sense?
Does anyone have experience with a flight being advertised as being %26#39;operated by%26#39; another carrier? What does that mean?
Thanks for your help!

%26quot;Operated by Air France%26quot; means that you will be flying on an Air France jet with Air France crew, and Air France landing prerogatives at CDG. Curiously, I generally find that it%26#39;s about $50 more expensive to book the tickets through Delta than to do so directly through Air France.

So when I call to confirm my reservations, do I call Air France?
|||
No, you should call Delta.

Hi,
We flew Delta to Paris in December. We had very bad weather on our outbound which was supposed to be an AF code share. Ended up missing that in Atlanta so they put us on a true Delta in business elite class. It was heavenly! Coming back we were on Delta through Cincinnati in coach. I didn%26#39;t think it was any better or any worse than when I%26#39;ve flown United or American to Paris. Probably better than United.
We%26#39;re going again next month. If you booked on-line, you need to call Delta for seat assignments for the AF code share.

I also booked our flight through Delta on a AF codeshare (it was actually $50 cheaper to book through Delta). But now I am wondering, will the baggage restrictions be Delta%26#39;s or AF%26#39;s?
|||
I%26#39;d say to call Delta and ask them that, specifically.
|||
We flew AF but booked through Delta. i did it to get delta miles. We had to get our seat assignments through Delta. The first delta reps sent us to AF but eventually it got straightened out. We stayed on the line while the delta rep waited for AF to give us our seat assignments. Everything else was run by AF--baggage size etc. Your flight could be different but that was our experience.

We are going on our 4th trip to Paris in May via Delta code share with Air France. We absolutely love Air France. If you can, ask for bulkhead or exit row seating and you%26#39;ll get a little extra leg room. Air France serves complimentary drinks (including %26#39;adult%26#39; beverages) on international flights. Also, each seat has its own personal TV monitor where you can choose movies, music, TV shows, etc. with the use of earphones. This, too, is complimentary on AF. Have fun!

We used Delta to book a roundtrip earlier this month because we flew into Paris and out of Rome. Few airlines can accomodate that itinerary. The Delta flight to Paris was operated by Air France and it was an Airbus which I had never been on. It was fun because each passenger gets an entertainment center in front of them, no craining your neck to see the one screen upfront. Air France provided a very nice meal too. But we called Delta for any questions we had. I booked online through Delta and for our choice of flight time, it turned out to be on Air France.

I%26#39;d like to know how Vickyisfloyd got bulkhead or exit row seating- isn%26#39;t that only available on the day of the flight, assigned at the airport? I%26#39;m travelling with a bunch of over-6 footers and we desperately try to get those rows, with mixed success.
