Thanks so much for the quick reply! I just realized, after buying the zed ticket I did get an email from AF and printed some type of coupon/e-ticket so that should help! Thanks for the info on the $39 skyclub hint! We usually fly non-stop destinations to avoid unpleasant bumping but hey, sometimes you have to fly out of your comfort zone! So, this is our first intl trip with a stop-over.

I'm hoping the scenario you wrote for arriving and transiting from Delta to Air France in CDG from the USA is going to be the same when we fly from EVN on Air France and need to transit at CDG on our Delta flight back to ATL? I thought I had read somewhere it might be a different when trying to fly back to USA?

We heard CDG was a nightmare for non-revs, I know it's what you make it, but wanted some more experienced non-rev-er's advice. I feel more comfortable having received your advice! If you think of anything else, I'm happy to hear it! :-)
