Earning SkyMiles on AIRFRANCE
In order to earn SkyMiles on an AIRFRANCE flight, do I have to book the AF flight through Delta? Or can I book it directly with AF? My Delta SkyMiles number is in my AF account profile.
Thanks
Thanks

Marketing carrier - AF #32 operated by Air France - and ticketing carrier do matter for Delta SkyMiles earning.

If it was only AF flights within Europe on AF ticket stock, you'll need to contact DL to get it to post properly. I've had dozens of them and maybe 1 or 2 have posted automatically.

If the ticket was on DL tickets stock (006) or the itinerary had DL flights on it, they should post within a week.

Skymiles from AF
Usually i see those 3 to 4 days after the flight, I do often MIA-CDG.
I prefer using AF as the Premium Economy product they offer is much much
better than the current Delta one (Didnt tested the new Economy Comfort yet).
Also i believe that in AF you get more bonus miles on W than from Delta,
The only bad thing is that you can upgrade yourself with Skymiles on AF flights (on the other side, Many times they offer the upgrade for very low price (150$ each way was on my last time)).

I recently flew AF on a Z fare on their stock. Delta gave me $2,772 MQD on a fare I paid $1,500 for (not to mention the 20,263 Skymiles). I had them posted within a week.
