Thread: Delta flight pass, Air France and getting to Sweden

Hi and welcome--most of us are harmless....
If you are the employee's companion pass rider, here's the scoop:
Employee has to initiate travel onine thru Travelnet system. you can pay with your credit card or you can pay them.

"Travel companions are eligible for travel on Delta, Delta Shuttle, Delta Connection and some Delta codeshare partner flights.

*Travel companions of active employees are eligible for unlimited space available yield fare tickets with an S3 boarding classification on the Domestic, Central/South American, Intra-European, Intra-Asian, and Transoceanic Systems.

**Travel companions of active employees are eligible for six space available yield fare tickets with an S2 boarding classification on the Domestic, Central/South American, Intra-European, Intra-Asian, and Transoceanic Systems."

It's not likely that you'll have a codeshare flight CDG/ARN on AF. You'll probably need to fly to Copenhagen (or CDG, but obviously, not the most recommended connection airport, as you can read here) and get lowcostcarrier deal to Stockholm.
I can estimate pass tkt around $330 RT
If you need to use LCC, try AMS connection instead of CDG

Good luck! Once you friend gets you set up, she's finished with the hassles--ps--there are no major dress code restrictions--FYI--since it's been awhile![/b]

Thank you so much for all that information and help! Exactly what I needed. Very helpful. Now all I need is for my family to move south so that I don't have to deal with that last stretch!

Again, thanks!

I make the trip a few times each year and found the following to be my best options:

DL from ATL to CPH, and then either SK to ARN. If you buy your ticket in advance, you can get a one-way from CPH to ARN for around $60.

If it's too expensive, you may want to consider the train from CPH to Stockholm. Runs every hour and takes about 4.5 hours... Cost: again, depending on how far in advance you buy your ticket, can be as low as $30... Check out www.sj.se

My backup is BRU and then Brussels Air to BMA. BMA is the smaller airport in Stockholm, closer to the Center... I think I paid about $90 r/t last time I got an ID95 on them.

As you may be aware, the days when you could show your pass card at AF and get on a flight are long gone... The agreement was replaced by an ID96 agreement a few years back. Sounds like a good deal, but it ends up just as expensive as an ID90 on some of the other airlines.

Also, try DL from JFK to TXL, and then Air Berlin from there to Stockholm. They have excellent rates sometimes...

Lots of options... Let me know if you need more ideas
