Hello all, hope you can help me maximize this work trip SAN-BCN business class for DL! Current Diamond status, trying for renew. Main question is do i book biz class ticket direct with Delta or book essentially same flight with a partner? I see most offer 40% distance flown match to MQDs, but my current ticket price is seemingly at $9255. SAN-ATL-BCN-ATL-SAN --- my take is that gives me 9,263MQD and ~19,428MQM?
Can I do better with Airfrance / KLM / Virgin Atlantic but using similar if not same flight? THANKS!!!
(Sitting at 67.7k MQMs and 1.5k MQD) I will have other work trips coming up, but not international biz class.
