Hi. I've searched old forums for an award chart of sorts for earning Delta Skymiles on Air Europa-marketed flights. I don't see any there, and I've been unable to get Delta's blasted website to show me an award table of fare classes eligible for full or partial MQM earning. I see only text on the website for UX flights, and that doesn't show the fare class earnings information I need. (Can't get the site to show me earning percentages for ANY partner airlines, actually).

Does anyone happen to have the guidelines for earning these Delta MQMs for various Air Europa fare classes? Or any link that works? I take it few fare classes are earning anything, but it would be great to have that info.

I'm hoping to repeat a nice sum of Delta MQMs I received in 2018 for booking a very cheap China Eastern-marketed JFK-PVG-KUL flight. I earned for the JFK-PVG portion after having to hassle Delta agents, since the flight didn't automatically credit for me and my Silver Medallion status -- an apparent problem on China Eastern's part. (Didn't earn Delta MQMs on the PVG-KUL leg as it was operated by Shanghai Airlines, the agent said.)

Here's the link I can't get to work. It's the main Delta partners page. https://www.delta.com/content/www/en...-partners.html

Mind pasting that info you see, @MSPeconomist? I only see text -- no chart that should clearly be there -- when I click the red arrow.

Wow! Thanks. I feel quite stupid. But what a bad website design! Not intuitive to click what looks like just a header.

Looks like Full Economy -- classes Y, B, M -- are the ony ones to earn 100% MQMs. L class is 50%, Discounted economy K, H, V, E is 50%, and Deep Discount Economy Q, R, S, U, T, F are 25%.

Now -- if I can get a way to see the fare class before purchasing, that would be awesome. (Some posters on earlier Flyertalk posts on this topic state that it's more difficult than usual to see the fare class before purchase on Air Europa.)

I've had problems with Delta's site before -- doesn't matter what browser or device. It happened some years ago when there must have been an upgrade.

I definitely see that deeply discounted line. Sadly, what I don't see is any Delta MQM credit for fare classes Z, P or N -- all of which are the only cheap fares offered. (For anyone looking for the actual fare class -- Orbitz offers the easiest look. Even AirEuropa.com won't show you the fare class before purchase.)

Try a dummy booking on Orbitz and click on the hyperlink: Show flight and baggage fee details. Orbitz will show the booking code.

Correct. I flew Air Europa a couple years ago BCN-PMI on a cheap N fare that earned no Skymiles. They did recognize my Medallion status and I got preferred boarding though.

Google Flights should show you the fare basis including booking class.

ITA Matrix, yes, but not Google Flights?

Hey, you most certainly do earn for Shanghai operated flights. It doesn't even need to be an MU marketed flight to earn. Call back and fight them for that. It's called out on the partner page.

"Eligible Flights: Mileage earn on flights marketed by China Eastern or Shanghai Airlines, operated by China Eastern, Shanghai Airlines or other SkyTeam Partner."

Also, notice that the earnings page is in a few different alphabetical lists, all combined. The first group is tier 1, either DL owns part of the airline or has a JV with them. This group you earn 100% MQM's on all flights. (I've only encountered two instances of fare classes on a flight not in the list, one for GOL and one for KLM). The rest of the list is the rest of SkyTeam and Hawaiian/Westjet, where you earn significantly less of everything. Either fly from the bottom half for the novelty or price, not the DL earnings.

This. Or just book directly through Orbitz or Expedia to be positive you've got a valid booking class. That's what I did last year for an OK (Czech Airlines) flight as OK has the same problem of not showing fare classes on their website.

Also, if there's any way you can book with a KL or AF code, you'll earn 100% MQMs on any standard paid fare. Of course, this probably requires a flight to AMS or CDG.

Google Flights had a "fare details" button you could click to see the fare basis and rules. I don't see it anymore, and didn't realize that had changed.
