Newbie Worldperks Question

[DCATravel]

I know that NW codeshares with KLM, Continental and a host of other airlines, but what is the relationship with Delta? I looked on the website but couldn't get a clear answer. Do flight count towards status?

Yes, flights count towards status. More specifically than the above link, this link - http://www.nwa.com/features/dlpartner.html - may be of assistance as well.

if its a random DL flight, youll get miles only. if its a NW flight on DL aircraft (codeshare) youll get miles and segments (youll only get segments if its a qualifying fare class)

I am sure DL flights counts towards elite qualifying miles for NW WP. But it appears none of the DL fares qualify for elite qualifying segments as noticed on from this page:

Could someone with first hand experience confirm this?

Don't forget that after KLM & Air France complete their merger that NW will be joining Skyteam. Our FF choices will expand dramatically ... hopefully as soon as this summer.

I'm also new to WP. I bought a (very cheap) T class ticket from DL for a flight on NW metal. I put my WP # on the reservation....does anyone know if I will be credited 100% EQM and segments?

Thanks,

For reservations on Delta flights, please call Delta Air Lines. Simply provide your WorldPerks number when making your reservation and the miles you earn will automatically be credited to your WorldPerks account.

You are correct, based upon my experience my flights purchased from DL on DL metal and coded as Y/Y on my activity have not earned an elite qualifying segment.
