Improvement on earning KE miles for DL flights from May 2018
Disclaimer: this is not DL miles for KE flights - it's about earning KE miles from DL flights.
KE, from May 1st 2018, improves mileage earning from taking DL flights as follow.
Until Apr 30th 2018:
F: FPAG 100%
C: JCDIZ 100%
Y: YB 100% MSH 75% QK 50%
From May 1st 2018:
F (US domestic/Canada only): FP 135% AG 125%
C: J 135% CDIZ 125%
PY(?): FPAGW 110%
Y: YBMHQKLU 100% TXVE 70%
A huge improvement. For Y class, it's better than earning Flying Blue from DL flights. Hopefully this is a sign of DL improve earning structure from KE flights, hopefully with MQM.

Good to see these changes. Hopefully this means a positive change the other direction is coming shortly. I've got no problem shifting to KE/ICN as my TPAC connection option going forward if the earn rate is appropriate.#s3gt_translate_tooltip_mini { display: none !important; }

eta: While I'm at it: is it possible to earn regular KE miles while at the same time earning MQM/MQS/MQD? Or even better, earn both DL miles and KE miles for the same flight?
Thanks!

How is that possible at all? The miles can only go to one program, right?

Yes, you would. You can't split earnings between two programs. If you designate a KE account number on a DL flight, all redeemable/status miles will credit towards the KE program and you will earn no MQM/MQD's in DL's program.

Unfortunately KE removed the info from the website. Guess it was too good to be true, or still not finalized. Here's the screenshot before taken down. Left column of the booking classes is international, right column is US/Canada.
