So I made the flights and here is the outcome.
Again, this round trip was booked through KLM.
To Destination:
Only allowed to check in through Delta
1. Delta domestic - Silver medallion status, 2XP
2. Delta international - Silver medallion status, 8XP
Back Home:
Only allowed to check in through Virgin Atlantic, gave me two tickets
1. Virgin Atlantic international - No status, 0XP
2. Delta domestic - No status, 2XP
Apparently, your status is honored only if you check in with a Skyteam operator and fly with the operator.
Virgin Atlantic was not bad but I will probably avoid it for now.
