Hi everyone,

This is my first post, so forgive my lack of knowledge.

I just booked a round trip through EK from JFK-DXB-BOM and DEL-DXB-JFK and a separate round-trip ticket with DL from my home to ATL-JFK and back. I understand that Delta has an interline baggage handling agreement with Emirates, but I am not clear on the details. Although I know this is not always the case, I understand that it is usually not possible to check baggage through when the trip is booked on separate tickets.

However, my question is: at what point is it possible to book everything on the same ticket? If Delta and Emirates do not codeshare, and I cannot book the entire itinerary on any one of their websites, how do I put all of the flights on the same ticket so I can send my baggage all the way through (outbound)? Also, if I can't put everything on the same ticket, can I still check through with these two airlines?

Thanks!
