Possible to Purchase Air Europa Ticket on US Sky Team Member Website?
I'm thinking about booking a BCN-MAD one-way ticket. Air Europa (a Sky Team member) has the lowest priced flight. Is it possible to book an Air Europa flight through either the Delta or Continental website? I've tried and so far can't get it to work.
I can do this through Expedia/Orbitz, but I try to avoid them when possible.
I know AA lets you do this for their OneWorld partners (and even non-OW airlines sometimes) so I was wondering if you could do this with Sky Team.
TIA

They do not offer it through their websites.
AA does because they used to own the booking engine (SAAbre) so it was basically free for them. The others have to pay for the access so they don't do it.
Can you book it directly with Air Europa?

I've only seen UX tickets offered on CO.com when part of a CO transatlantic ticket.
I had to buy a one way from MAD-BCN before and I found a much better price on one of the French travel sites than I did from Expedia, Orbitz, or even AirEuropa.com
I think it was www.govoyages.com but may have been www.easyvols.fr
It was about 20-30 Euros cheaper on this site than the other sites.
