TWOV (Transit Without Visa)
TWOV is permissible for travellers continuing their trip to a third country by the same plane on the same day may transit without a visa on condition that they have return/onward tickets, enough money and all documents needed for their next trip, but they are not permitted to leave the transit area. If such transit travellers should stay for more than 24 hours, they have to obtain a transit permit for a maximum stay of 48 hours from the airport authorities, but this does not apply to the following:
a. Travellers from Luxembourg, United States of America, Malawi, Germany, Vietnam, Netherlands, Korea, and South Africa.
b. Travellers with Palestinian travel documents.
c. Travellers with passports issued by Chinese Taipei.

Looks like y'all all need a visa

so essentially if you stay one night in a hotel you don't need a visa?

Definitely call, AF that is, they're changing them all to AF stock and doing it.
It's a matter of time before we're all downgraded.

Was downgraded to business but a quick Twitter DM with Air France got my ticket changed back to First!
First person I was DMing with was very rude and standoffish. Happy to share my exchange, don't think I was being pushy or entitled bc all along I assumed these would get cancelled and I'm ok with that. Sent another DM later in the day, maybe when a shift changed (if that's how it works?) and they switched it back super quickly. Guess YMMV

Dear Customer,
 
Due to a system error with a mistaken fare, your Delta ticket for travel on Air France in La Première/First Class which was recently purchased has to be cancelled.
 
You will be rebooked in Business Class for the same date and flight; alternatively, you may request a full refund of the fare paid, consistent with DOT guidelines and policy.
 
We apologize for this inconvenience.  If you have any questions in the meantime, you may Contact Us on Delta.com to help you in this matter.
 
Kind Regards,
Air France

not to crush your hopes the same thing happened to someone on ft and they downgraded  him again. I'm more worried they can just downgrade us to economy at the gate if they can get away with this

I think I'll be waiting untill closer in to deal with this, they are on top of this at the moment.

I booked 2 tickets. And got 2 different sets of emails per reservation so I'll wait till closer in to do something about it.

I'm not sure they can just say they will cancel the flight but also rebook me in buisness. I just dont get that part. I'll need to do some digging on the rules.

Or someone with more knowledge can chime in.

Hopefully they'll be getting enough bail out money to support my 1st class adventure.

Actually favorably surprised by this reaction considering last year's mistake F fares out of LAX were cancelled entirely.

Well I'm not sure if your aware but they are desperate for cash that's why they are not cancelling entirely for all we they'll just downgrade at the gate again

That's my point, can they take the middle path? Legally.

It's been a long time but covid has helped this fare for those hanging tight.

Like some reported on FT, some have had luck bouncing this back to F class,  changing dates,  and some have mulled changing origin.within 300 miles.


My ticket was reissued for today, so hoping I can technically rebook for another year + for another year out [into 2022]

I'm now waiting for my second  ALG flight to start with the cancelations.

Anyone else with updates?
