Reminder: MU no longer has blackout dates.

AS's published rules black out KE in the same manner that DL does (all routes for a given date even if only one route would be blacked out under a more liberal interpretation).

Ah my mistake. Somehow I thought it was different, but didn't double check. In that case just with AF/KL FB you surely can book the non-higher mileage (KE) and non-blacked out (CI) flights during the dates when DL just blanket blacks out all of them.

Forgive one who is a noob on this. Looking to use miles on Korean Air from BHM to anywhere in China for an adoption. What are the differences between KE, CI and AE? Are these fare classes or something?
I am looking to travel somewhere around the beginning of May but won't know for another few weeks.

CI = China Airlines, which is based in Taipei and not to be confused with Star Alliance Air China based in Beijing.
AE = Mandarin Airlines, also Taipei
From the USA, China Southern flies nonstop to Guangzhou.
China Eastern flies nonstop to Shanghai.
Both are redeemable with Delta Skymiles.
Air China nonstop to Beijing requires United or other Star Alliance miles.
