As you may know, Delta Airlines and Air France<\/a> are members of the SkyTeam Alliance<\/strong>, they work together as with KLM, Aeromexico…<\/p>\n As a Platinum Card Member (Personal or Business) you can get up to $200 in statement credits each calendar year when incidental fees are charged by to selected company to your account :<\/p>\n It’s don’t pay for a free travel<\/strong><\/a> but those $200 can be very useful !<\/p>\n First, don\u2019t take a direct flight from the US to France, but use a domestic flight connection. This is an example for a flight from San Francisco to Paris<\/a> :<\/p>\n Book a flight from San Francisco to Paris using a domestic connection, for example San Fransisco to Los Angeles<\/a>, then Los Angeles to Paris.<\/p>\n The first domestic flight will be operated by Delta Airlines, even if you have an Air France Ticket<\/strong>, then at the first check in, if you have to pay for luggage or seat selection<\/strong>, you\u2019ll be billed by Delta Airlines and not by Air France.<\/p>\n Second, take your flight from Los Angeles to Paris on Air France as usual, your bags are loaded and you will not have to pay anymore for it or for a seat selection. Of course, you can make one booking for the entire trip<\/a>, don’t buy 2 separate tickets.<\/p>\n This tip can work with all SkyTeam members if you have a domestic connexion on Delta before leaving the United States.<\/p>\n To be sure, please don\u2019t forget to ask to the desk who will bill you, just in case to be sure your travel fee credit will be used !<\/p>\n <\/p>\nWhat charges are covered with the $200 travel fee credit from AMEX?<\/h2>\n
