How many miles will I earn?
I may be blind, but didn't delta used to tell you how many miles you would earn on your flight? I am flying ATL-LHR (I am Gold). How many miles do I earn for this?

4211 MQMs and 8422 RDMs each way, assuming that you're on a HQKLUT fare. Multiply each by 1.5 if you're in BE or YBM.
Getting it to display total MQMs earned has been hit or miss for me as of late, and often times it is wrong anyway. You can always click on the blue flight number and it will show the distance/miles earned. |

And 8,422 x 2 = 16,844 RDM |
I've been finding that *sometimes* delta.dumb indicates the miles when you search to book a ticket, sometimes in the flight details box and sometimes to the left of the final total price just before you enter passenger names, etc.

Approx 4,211 miles each way EQM....so 8,422 EQM
And 8,422 x 2 = 16,844 RDM |

Do the Miles from flying BE take extra time to post? I flew MSP-LHR on the 3rd and was upgraded at the gate to BE, was a 4015 mile flight, with my GM status I was posted 8030 miles, not the extra 1.5x.....

Delta has changed how they are calculating their miles on some flights. In Sept. of last year, I flew DL275 from DTW-TPE. They calculated the miles as
DTW-NRT 6397 NRT-TPE 1341 for a total of 7738 miles in November I took the exact same flight and they calculated the miles as DTW-TPE 7536 I know it's only 200 miles (or 300 with class of service), but it still pisses me off for some reason. :mad: |
I use this one exclusively. It takes fare class and elite level into consideration.

It is because now DTW-NRT-TPE is the same flight number all the way through. This happens quite often. A great example is JNB-ATL-MCO on DL201. By flying on DL201 the whole way you lose a ton of miles. I believe by flying DL201 you only get credit for ~8100 miles, whereas if you fly JNB-ATL on DL201 that flight alone gets 8439 miles plus your connection ATL-MCO would get 500 more miles....So it is 8939 miles vs. 8100 miles....pretty big loss. I think it is dumb that they calculate it this way as opposed to actual miles flown but their argument would probably that you paid a few dollars less for the ticket (in taxes) by having the same flight number all the way. I always avoid booking the same flight number because of mileage and upgrades.
