How do I know who the marketing carrier is?
Any flight booked on Delta.com is marketed by Delta Air Lines and would follow the Delta Air Lines crediting rules. Unless otherwise noted, mileage credit is applicable to SkyTeam-marketed flights operated by any SkyTeam member airline, but is not applicable to SkyTeam-marketed flights operated by any other airline. For tickets purchased in other channels, the flight must have a DL flight number to qualify for Delta Air Lines crediting rules. Otherwise, please see the earning SkyMiles on airline partners to calculate the correct mileage earn.
