Delta Codesharing

Looking at taking a flight from JFK to LHR on a flight Delta Codeshare to Air France. Considering I book on the DL flight number would I still be eligable for points and status?

Thanks

I don't think so. It's DL metal only AFAIK.

777 is correct - the VA rep has confirmed this:

Earn data is reported back by the operating carrier. If we don't have a relationship with the operating carrier then no data is reported back even if the flight is marketed by a partner airline.

In saying that, DL coded flights operated by Delta Connection carriers are included for earn within the scope of our partnership with Delta. These include flights operated by XJ, OH, 9E, OO, EV, CP, S5, and RP.

(ie Mesaba, Comair, Pinnacle Airlines, Skywest, Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Compass Airlines, Shuttle America, Chautauqua Airlines)
