Crediting to both AS Mileage Plan and DL SkyMiles
I have an itinerary with multiple legs in different classes. I would like to credit some flights to Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan and others to Delta SkyMiles.
With the new revenue-based earning structure, how would I determine how many miles would be credited by Delta SkyMiles for a flight? My ticket shows a single fare for all the flights combined.
Thank you for any comments or suggestions!

My itinerary of 6 flights seems to be broken into 4 legs. (When I try to change flights on delta.com, it shows Outbound 1-4.)
Assuming I can credit the different legs to separate programs, how would I determine how many miles would accrue to Delta SkyMiles? The ticket shows a combined fare for all 4 legs.

I spent maybe 10 minutes in the Android Delta app clicking every possible link and could not figure out how to view the ticket. It only shows the ticket number with no fare.

One way to do this is to "claim" the reservation from the AS website. As was mentioned up-thread I think you can only do this in one direction or the other - I don't think you can do it for individual segments unless you have a separate PNR for your AS flights.
So to split the miles, for the AAA->BBB->CCC trip, logon to Delta.com and check in as usual.
On the way back, log on to Alaskaair.com with your Alaska credentials and then "claim" the PNR for CCC->BBB->AAA. You'll get credit on the way back on Alaska.
For Alaska-operated flights where you are receiving credit in Delta's program, you still accrue mileage based on Distance flown (and if you are DM or PM, the mileage bonus applies):

Thanks for the information! I was hoping to figure out how many Delta SkyMiles I would earn for each leg before actually taking the flight. AlaskaAir.com does not accept my Delta confirmation number or ticket number, but I guess that is because none of the flights are with Alaska.

I know this has been addressed before, but I couldn't find it.
If I would like to fly Delta but credit to Alaska, how do I fly Delta and use my platinum benefits (upgrade etc,) and then credit to Alaska? At what point do I have to put in my AS number? Can I do it as soon as I'm on the plane for the final leg?

Except posts in this thread indicate you are able to change the number mid-trip. Maybe not mid-flight, but mid-trip. What happens if I get on the flight and then log in and change the number on the itinerary, or go into AS and "claim" the flight? Will it let me do that mid-flight?
