Do I credit Skymiles or Flying Blue?
My itinerary is JFK -LHR outbound and FRA -JFK inbound. I am ticketed by Air France in Z class, but flying on Delta metal. How many miles will I earn if I credit to Delta or Flying Blue? I don't have status in either program. Thanks

Can't really tell for Delta SM, they seem to have MQM and MQD. MQD shall be a certain percentage of miles flown, and MQM shall be just a flown distance multiplies with the Z bonus ratio.
Depending on base as well, Flying Blue miles have a higher value across the Atlantic, while Sky Miles can sometimes have deals to Asia and Oceania, and can be great for travels within the States and Canada as well.

Since Flying Blue is now $ base, so that will be how much your ticket costs (base cost + carrier surcharge) decide how many miles you will earn on FB.
