The earnings report is out on DL Net, $5.9 billion or $7.2 Billion depending on which accounting principles you like to use!

Where's that link for the earnings conference call?

Thinking about a trip to Paris in April. I've got to get passports for the wife and kids.

Will my Delta crew passport work for me, or do I also need to get a regular passport?

Also, I'm going to try to use my One Great Team tickets for me and the wife and then get tickets for my kids.

Each kid is about $1400 round-trip on delta. $1250 with the Fly Confirmed for less. $1150 for Fly Confirmed for even less.

I would appreciate the thoughts of anyone with experience using the One Great/Fly Confirmed programs.

Additionally. I plan to get a place near Norte Dame. Cab it from the airport and spend a week. Anybody done it recently?

Thanks in advance for any input and/or advice. (Mercy Bo-coup?)

Never heard of a Delta Crew Passport.

I think we all have regular passports which Delta helps facilitate.

Swap with the pot question. If I want to swap a trip and there are multiple trips on that day, how do I input it? Another words, I want to swap trip A for any of these trips, B,C or D, in that order. TIA

My girlfriend has used the Fly Confirmed program a few times with no hassles on flights that were tight. It's nice not having to play non-rev roulette when you just want/have to be there.

Took the family of five to Paris for a week last spring (non-rev no less) plus layover there occasionally. One less published fact of one-great-team passes, your position on the first class list is based on time of checkin, ahead of non-revs but behind frequent fliers, so make sure you "checkin" for the flight and request upgrade at 23:59 prior to departure.

Cabbing to the city would be slower and very expensive. There is train (RER-B) that goes straight to the city that leaves from CDG every 15 mins or so. It goes straight to the city and has several stops that you can crossover to the subway if you need to. You buy the tickets right there at the terminal. I think kids may even be free if traveling with an adult, can't recall for sure. There is good info about it on the interwebs under CDG transport. Also, there is a nonstop bus as well that goes into the city and makes two stops, again, info on the net.

We got a great rate from the delta perks website using the ACCORS hotels link. We stayed at the Novotel Paris Les Halles in an "executive" room with two queen beds in a nice hotel with clean facilities at much better price than I could find anywhere online for even a smaller space. Best yet, the airport train stops at the Les Halles station so you don't even have to connect to the subway with bags, just get off train and go upstairs and the hotel is right there. There was some construction going on near the hotel but that has to be further along or over by now.

Les Halles is a great area to stay with family, great neighborhood, 5 min easy walk to Notre Dame, 10min to Louvre, great restaurants and cafes all throughout that area. Les Halles train station itself is an underground mall, but also a subway station so easy to use subway to go to the tower and all over Paris if you get tired of walking.
For family, don't miss trip to Versailles (short commuter train ride from downtown), or Napolean's Tomb (which includes entry into Les Invalides) which has enough mid evil armor and weapons on display to keep any kids entertained.
If kids are old enough to do the stairs easily, Notre Dame's bell tower (tour) is also good, but there is often a line if you don't get there early, and it's not worth waiting three hours in line for (IMO) you can always just walk through Notre Dame though. Obviously there is more to see in the Louvre than you could see in a year, but if you pick out a few favorites you should be able to keep the kids on the move and see a few highlights. I think the Louvre is free to kids and everybody on Tuesday, but the crowds on the free day can be overwhelming.

I have done hop on/hop off tours in a few cities with family in the past, and we did the night tour in Paris, and were underwhelmed. Unnecessary for day as well as walking/subway make it easy to get around.
If the Family wants to go up in the Eiffel Tower (also cool at night for kids when the strobes are going), the gouge is to buy your tickets online and print out before you go to the tower as there will be two long lines at the tower, one to buy tickets, one to go up. Often if you wait to buy tickets they will give you a time to come back several hours later which can also be annoying.
Anyway, enjoy and send a PM if you want any more specific info.

Don't delay getting kids passports, it can be a real PITA! Both you and the wife have to make and attend an appt at the post office (or other issuing agency) and sign the application with the kids documents (birth cert and pictures) in hand. Then wait several weeks for them to come, and until they are older their passports are only good for I believe 5 years, when you get to redo the whole process from scratch!

Last tidbit, currently there is an early ATL departure then all the other cites we serve from CDG (BOS, PHL, NYC, CDG, PIT, etc) all leave within a few hours of eachother and then a late ATL to cleanup. Bottom line is that the checkin line at the airport can be a bear then customs then airport train to gates, then security. We arrived at airport 2.3hrs prior to departure for the BOS flight and arrived at the gate as they were calling final call. Anyone who was there at 1.5 hours missed that flight for sure.
Nonrev can be a little more nebulous because since AF clears the flights, you can not see the cleared list on any flight like in the US, so it's hard to tell if people are getting left behind or seats are open, making the later ATL flight a bit of a crapshoot with limited intel. That being said, we have an assortment of cities to choose from, so that allows some options.
Bon Voyage!

It goes in order, so swap one is trip A for B
swap 2 is A for C
sqap 3 is A for D

If you get A for B, it's done, if not, it will try swap 2 then try 3.

Good luck!

Thanks! filler

Maybe a way to get the best deal on some E195's if you publicly make them think your shopping at the competitors store?
