Well done, Copenhagen!Īfter a quick visit to the decent contract lounge (Air France does not have its own lounge in Copenhagen), I headed over to the boarding gate for the slightly delayed departure time. Screens and indicators guided passengers to the next available screening line, minimizing confusion and crowding. The security experience at Copenhagen was, dare I say, fun! With minimal delay I passed through the extremely well managed semi-automated queue system, noting the delightful Lego branding used for the separate family line. For two airlines so tightly integrated, I expected far more from Delta.

Thankfully, Air France’s app fully recognized the booking and provided notifications and information about a delay to the first of my two flights, the Copenhagen-Paris leg. The app generated a boarding pass, but that was the extent of its abilities.

Since my ticket was booked through Delta but operated by joint venture partner Air France, Delta’s app proved to be rather useless. While my flights to Europe were operated by aircraft carrying Air France’s latest and greatest onboard products, my return journey would be in business class on the airline’s Airbus A320 and Boeing 777-300ER twinjets with aged interiors. After a great experience with Air France on my way to the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany, and a few post-show decompression days spent in Copenhagen, it was time to head home to New York with Air France through Paris Charles de Gaulle.
