Using OnePass miles for Skyteam
I'm looking to use OnePass miles to purchase a roundtrip to Salt Lake City in February--Delta is naturally the best way to go. When I search on Continental.com, it shows options on Delta.
Am I going to have any problems flying Delta on Continental miles in February? Would I be advised to book this trip before the end of the week?

It's not so much "be advised" as it is "must". If you don't book the reward trip before midnight of the 24th, you won't be able to use CO miles to do so.

The tickets will be honored, no problem. I wouldn't worry about that.
But any sort of status perks you may have had (lounge access, pre-boarding, etc.), would no longer be available.
You would still get whatever perks are associated with your ticket (e.g., int'l business gets lounge access), but you would lose those perks associated with your status (e.g., CO Plat gets lounge access on int'l coach).

I have a similar question that I'm not having luck in searching for an answer...I have CO miles that I'm considering using for a KLM flight next September, although nothing is concrete at this stage.
If I book before 10/24, what happens if I need to a) make changes, b) cancel the flights?
Thanks as the bulk of my experience lies on the *A side of the aisle...
