Booking Economy Light via Delta vs Air France
Looking at an upcoming AF transatlantic onto Scandinavia flight connecting through CDG (cue the groans), and have the option to book at the same price via Air France and Delta. Usually I book with the foreign carrier if they're operating the flight, also because the MQDs usually work out better that way. I was thinking about booking with Delta to just use up some pandemic-era eCredits.
This particular fare is a economy light fare, and I am a lowly Silver Medallion. When I attempt to book with Delta via my SkyMiles account, I get all of the "can't choose a seat, bags aren't free, won't earn skymiles" etc. stuff that comes up when booking DL basic economy. If I book through Air France, is all of that still the same? I couldn't seem to find any good info on the mileage earning in particular - I added my # to a trial reservation and it didn't really change anything on their website.
