Glad to hear of the formalisation of the WS-DL tie-up as a YYC based flyer here.
Though, like others, a bit puzzled at some of the routes (both those being code-shared, as well as for those that are missing). YYC-LAS and YVR-HNL are interesting. YYC-YVR seems a bit superflous as both cities offer broadly the same DL hub service, and the YYC-YVR coded DL flights don't even pull up for routes like YYC-YVR-HNL. DL coded WS flights earn miles, but does that also mean MQM? As an OT side note, coinciding with the loading of the code shares seems to have made a change in the MPM for many of the ex YYC fares. YYC-SEA (about 500 miles) for instance now permits YYC-MSP-SEA (2450 miles). Perhaps some interesting mileage run opportunities :D |
I'm looking at using YYZ-YHZ to get to a conference this summer, but the DL codes on those flights don't seem to be loaded yet. I thought maybe it would take until schedule updates were loaded this weekend, but still nothing and I'm seeing other DL-coded WS-operated flights are loaded. Anyone have thoughts on what's up with the lack of YYZ-YHZ?

WestJet and Delta Codeshare
Anyone have any experience on any of these codeshares? I booked this all on a Delta ticket and didn't realize the Westjet codeshare on the Vancouver-Toronto leg (duh on my part). I did notice you can't choose your seat in advance unless you pay (and there's a thread on this subject under Westjet). I'm guessing I'll still get full MQM credit, though when I called the Diamond hotline the rep didn't seem to think so. Anyone have any luck with these? Thanks!

As long as you booked the DL-coded flight, you'll earn miles as if it were DL-operated. So far, no exclusion or reduction on cheap fares like VA-operated, DL-coded flights booked in LUT. I'm considering booking the WS YHZ-YYZ flight a bit down the road, but will probably SDC off of it in the end.

One thing to take into consideration is the seating. Westjet has a policy of assigning seats 24hrs in advance unless you are willing to pay. I did this today for an upcoming trip. Seat price based on duration of flight or you can take your chances at T-24.
Item two is that the reference number is the Delta reference number and not westjets. When you want to check in you will want that. A quick call to 888-Westjet takes care of that. As the OP said his was the connection but I did the nonstop to LAS so it's check in at Westjet on both sides. |

I had a DL coded AS operated flight for last leg SEA-YYC. I was not allowed to SDC because it was operated by another carrier other than DL. I'm not sure if I was given bogus info or whether this is correct, but even if you can SDC off other airline operated flights, expect some resistance when you call in. |

I'd be curious to know too on both accounts - MQM on westjet and SDC from DL coded flight to DL metal
I'm flying westjet YYC-YYZ connecting to JFK end of the month |

More WestJet codeshare questions
I am flying PBI-LGA-YYZ and return. the PBI-LGA legs are DL metal and the LGA-YYZ legs are WestJet.
1. If I fly into Terminal D and out of C, how long does it take to get between the 2? 2. Will Delta be able to get me seats 24 hours out? Or do I have to call WestJet? 3. On the return, would I clear customs in Canada, like I would on DL metal? 4. Has anyone successfully done a SDC with a WestJet codeshare? |

The bus ride is 1 minute. The walk in D down to the bus is longer (and probably longer than the walk to C will be). The walk inside C between the bus stop and the gates is longer yet. With the wait for the bus, 10-15 minutes is plenty.
Since Delta is in both, is there a good way to tell if I will be arriving in one or the other? |
