CZ, CI, MU, SU, G3, and GA awards bookable on Delta.com: new or did I miss something?
Delta.com just pulled up PVG-JFK nonstop on China Eastern in business class and JFK-CAN nonstop in business class on China Southern.
Is this new? I don't remember seeing these airlines bookable on delta.com before.

Pretty awesome. I was able to pull up a 5 week calendar of awards DTW-MLE and find both economy and business options on the first try. I spent in excess of 20+ hours to book my award trip to MLE last year. The engine now also tells us how many seats are left at a particular level as well.

I tried for my semi-annual ICN-PVG R/T on delta.com rather than the MU website as I usually do. It said "no flights available" (even tried the GIM-SHA route), while the MU and CZ websites clearly show flights. Maybe it has to be a codeshare or only in conjunction with a USA-bound flight?

I am having the same issue pulling up any CZ or MU results on delta.com, maybe it is down already? I tried various one-way, roundtrip, nonstop, exact dates, flexible dates, different city pairs, different browsers, logging in and not, etc, etc. Just booked a CZ on the phone.

When I first looked, the CZ options were showing, but by the time I found the right dates for 2 people, only KE was available (about which I'm not complaining).

Delta has turned on their much better and robust award calendar. To compensate for finally releasing a somewhat normal award booking engine, Delta has nerfed mile earnings for most most customers who will now earn a tiny fraction of the miles they used to, making it take much longer to accumulate enough miles for an award.

China Eastern & China Southern Awards Now Bookable On Delta.com?
Per this article:
http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.c...now-delta-com/
However when I check for the same dates as Lucky, I don't see any options on these carriers? Any reason?

That being said, anyone having any luck? MU used to have major issues requiring long sells to find any availability? I remember as recent as Feb 2014 waiting close to 2 min to get a confirmed back and then a YQ calculation.
Anyone able to see any KE awards either? AS showing up as well?
Wow, can DL finally be releasing the ability to book partners online?

When I was checking paid one ways on Google flights for SkyTeam options I got MU and AM (NRT-MEX-LAX) options. The MU earned 50% MQM but its against my religion to fly a 777 in Y that is 3-4-3
