SkyMiles credit on SU flight operated by Rossiya Airlines (Aeroflot subsidiary)
Would a flight operated by Rossiya Airlines (a subsidiary of Aeroflot) obtain Delta SkyMiles? It is marketed by Aeroflot and has a SU flight number.
Detailed info: SVO-PKC SU6285 Economy/Coach (B) - this looks like an Aeroflot fare code eligible for 100% SkyMiles, according to the Delta website That being said, Delta.com has no mention of Rossiya flights and the phone representatives were of no help. An online search (incl. FT) does yield some positive information that Rossiya flights are equivalent to "normal" Aeroflot in the eyes of Delta, but would like to be 100% sure before booking. |

Exceptions should be listed on the mileage earning page. For the rest, the below should apply. Unless otherwise noted, mileage credit is applicable to SkyTeam-marketed flights operated by any SkyTeam member airline, but is not applicable to SkyTeam-marketed flights operated by any other airline It's really a case-by-case basis though. Sorry OP I don't know specifically. But I wouldn't count on it. Please post back with the results if you try! EDIT: Someone in this recent post says FV=SU in these cases for lounge access, etc, but does not mention points earning or DL specifically. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/russ...d-rossiya.html |
As far as getting DL miles, it depends. If it is operated on behalf of Aeroflot then yes you'll earn miles. If however it is a Aerflot codeshare operated by Rossiya then no. In the first case, Rossiya is simply providing a plane and crew for what would otherwise be an SU flight. In the latter, Rossiya is operating their own flight and Aeroflot is selling seats on it.
This is just like AF coded Cityjet flights. From whay I can see SU6285 is simply operated on behalf of SU by Rossiya, thus get credit. |

Rossiya is on Aeroflot's code share 2018 list (https://www.aeroflot.ru/us-en/about/flight), so Aeroflot considers it to be a code share. For this reason, do not expect to earn Delta miles on Rossiya flights (if you do, then great!!).

I do. Codeshares don't always earn mileage credit. Even when the operating airline is under the same ownership, it isn't a guarantee. Rossiya is not part of Skyteam, and is not a partner of Delta.

Until 2 weeks, they had a fairly decent base in Vnukovo, they moved their entire domestic operation (bar St P, Sochi, and Makhachkala) to Sheremetyevo recently and have more or less taken over Aeroflot's Far East flights to Magadan, Yuzhno Sakhalinsk, Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky (from December), and Khabarovsk, and most Vladivostok flights.

Should have gone for the actual SU flight ;) (assuming they are still running when you go to Kamchatka!)

I bought an Aeroflot marketed flight operated by Rossiya and put my SkyMiles number in there.
Credited to my account with zero miles. Don't expect to receive any miles on anything not operated by Aeroflot itself. |
