I am British [bank account in Pounds] but, was temporarily based in North-East Asia. I had already booked tickets to Amsterdam with another airline. I wanted to stay in Amsterdam for a few days and then take a direct flight to Panama from Amsterdam. I searched online and found that only KLM did direct flights. The phone number given online, for that KLM flight, turned out to be the Delta office mentioned. I did not choose to deal with Delta, but it seems that KLM, Delta and Air France have some kind of arrangement to assist one another in these matters. The whole thing was organised from their end and I can assure you that I had no interest or intention in causing confusion by dealing with multiple airlines - purely their arrangements!
