How Do I search Delta Codeshare flights?
Hi,
I'm trying to maximize my revenue on Delta coded flights. However, I fly to a lot of cities in Asia that are not serviced by Delta. How do I look for just Delta codeshare flights on their partners (e.g. MU, FM, CZ, KE..etc..etc)?
Delta.com is not very good and is limited in it's usefulness. It does not service the cities that the codeshare partners service. (e.g. CAN, SHA, CKG, SGN..etc..etc..).
Thanks for the help,

The best way I know of is to grab Delta's PDF flight schedule and scroll over to the city you're flying into/out of. That schedule lists DL codeshares and only DL codeshares, so any flight not listed there is one without a codeshare.
Unfortunately, many SkyTeam and partner (Alaska) flights have no DL codeshare number at all, so booking them as a Delta flight number is simply impossible. You can get them on the same ticket by calling Delta or using a TA, but that may not be good enough for you (i.e., Fly America Act compliance...). It's rather frustrating that DL will codeshare on just one or two flights a day to claim they have service to a city, when in reality those flights might be at ludicrous times for connection traffic or O&D traffic.

Another good source is the PDF route maps on delta.com. Every city with DL code is shown on the map. Gives you a good idea of the destinations then you can go into the schedules looking for actual routings available.
