Edit. If your parents are flying, it makes no difference. You get zero miles either way
Yes, during the big sale.
Yes, I know the AM legs will give a lot of miles. My question is when AM rebooked on DL, wouldn't the fare be under AM rule, earning on AM rate, or would it be DL rate. And it looks like everyone thinks it's going to be DL rate. Everyone except DeltaAssist who can't answer the questions.
Yes, they are flying and they are crediting to their accounts. I get to use it.
