Skymiles on Air Tahiti Nui / ExpertFlyer questions
Hello All-
New to FlyerTalk. I recently learned that you can use skymiles to book flights to PPT on Air Tahiti Nui so I thought I would give it a go. After reading on here and other sites about ExpertFlyer, I also signed up to give that a go.
My question- when a flight is showing availability on ExpertFlyer does that mean it is bookable by calling Delta? I am trying to book a flight in August '19 that shows availability on ExpertFlyer, but the Delta Medallion reps are telling me I can not book anything later than July '19 currently.
If so, how do I go about it and if not, when are Air Tahiti Nui flights opened for award with skymiles?
Thank you!

Wife and I booked both of our companion certs from CHA-ATL-SLC-MFR-SEA-ATL-CHA back in July. But it was only good for one set of days that week. We were flexible to match thus saving us about $1300 for the two seats for our daughters.

I have a co worker who is going to let his Companion Cert expire. I was reading in the T&C's that the cert is transferable, does anyone have experience with transferring the cert? For these purposes, the owner of the cert would not be flying.

Discussed somewhere in this thread. Cert can be booked for anyone but requires that the "owner" of the cert log in to his/her DL account to make the booking (or be willing to give their credentials to someone). Must pay with Amex but it can be any Amex card.

KLM Baggage Allowance on SkyMiles Award ticket
Any help much appreciated.
Booking o/w OSL-MME economy Europe with some old SkyMiles but unable to get definitive answer on baggage allowance from either KLM or Delta. I'm assuming there is no baggage allowance in economy so I would have to travel J to get anything included. For 2 bags at 23kg KLM are quoting E30 + E75 if it was booked through their Flying Blue programme which is absolutely ridiculous. Would it be the same if booked through SkyMiles?
Thank you everyone!

Hello! I'll be flying with Delta for the first time at the end of this month (YVR-LAX-SAL). I was just wondering what would give me a better value? Collecting WestJet dollars or Delta SkyMiles? I don't have any miles accumulated with Delta yet, and just have a couple of WestJet dollars from some RBC promotion in the past. Cheers!

DL will let you into the SC on a J/F ticket upon arrival as long as you can get past security to it.
Thus, #1 will be clear access, #2 you get access, but may have to argue with agent.
