This assumes that you have a single ticket/PNR and a single fare component (with no stopovers?), which might be an issue (did DL split the fare?) to get you both W and G segments. My suggestion would be to look at the fare calculation line on your receipt very carefully before calling DL to determine whether or not you have a through fare or a ticket with broken fares.
