First off - absolutely don't use the discount if the
fare is negative. Fully agreed with Phil there. That
said:

When Holger and I looked at flights from Hamburg vua
Amsterdam and Panama City, the German version of
skyscanner and the german version of Air France /
KLM's booking page gave the same price, but the US
versions of each made the Global Meetings version
slightly cheaper. Clearly YMMV.

I will see if someone at SkyTeam can explain or fix
this discrepancy. It would be interesting to see if
other SkyTeam airlines besides Air France/KLM have the
same issue.

If you are going to be taking a flight that Delta
operates or code-shares, check out their skyscanner
and discounted prices too. Their booking process is a
manual email to a human (as the site explains), but in
addition to having another hope of a discount, if
they're negative maybe they can explain why.

Thanks for pointing this out,
