Second, you only earn MQDs on award flights if the flight is DL marketed (operated) booked with DL miles. Third, the ratio is 100 to 1 (1 MQD for every 100 miles, not 10 to 1).
DL is awarding MQDs on both DL and partner metal awards booked with DL Skymiles in 2024 (awards booked with partner miles are still not eligible for MQD earn).
