Is there any draw back for booking via the partner?
Long time Delta Diamond. Just making sure there isn’t something obvious I’m missing.
These questions all depend on the route, distance, fare paid, and booking class (and when you're traveling). Discount premium fares booked as partner flight numbers typically earn more EQD but less EQM than if booked with AA flight numbers, but partner EQM earnings will increase a bit to match AA with the changes announced.
