Hello Everyone,
Due to a merging error - much of the history of this thread is sitting in the Amex Companion fare thread:
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delta-air-lines-skymiles/2053727-using-skymiles-skyteam-other-partners-master-thread.html
The moderation team is in the process of moving posts over to this thread, however it is a very manual process that requires reading every post in the two merged mega threads, so please bear with us as we piece this together.

Can't seem to use DL Skymiles for domestic award flights in Mexico on Aeromexico. I tried different routes and different dates with the error message "We're sorry but no results were found for your search...". Seem odd that no award flights are available on Aeromexico

I have booked the folks (3x) on a WS flight using Skymiles, but now WS has cancelled that flight and they're on an earlier flight. Tried to get an agent to put them on a later flight, but they're saying that there's no space even though I could book a brand new set of 3x tickets for them according to the Delta site. Sigh....

These are good points too. I had assumed "brand new set of 3x tickets" was still referring to using miles, but on rereading OP didn't actually say.

As I understand it, changes to award flights booked using SkyMiles with respect to WestJet might be done by booking the new ticket, then cancelling the old ticket... since WestJet only has 4x inventory space per flight (at a mega cheap flat-rate), I'm actually thinking it's the return flight that would be causing the issues.

Yes, sorry to clarify there are 4 seats on the later flight bookable with SkyMiles. However, the date of the return flight there is no more bookable WS flights through SkyMiles redemptions.

as this is a schedule change ask agent to contact support desk. Since there's availability (as award) on later flight support desk can switch without system worrying about return. When agent handles they process just like a voluntary change, but tell system not to do an ADDCOLLECT for cost difference. Support and do it manually.

Award ticket pricing (AF)
Hi,
I am trying to figure out the correct pricing for an award ticket on AF. Itinerary would be AF 473 MRU-CDG / AF1300 CDG-MAD (J). Can't price it on Delta website so have had to contact Delta a couple of times. Agent says it needs to be priced as 2 separate tickets AF 473 65,000 miles + AF 1300 25,000 miles. Does this sounds correct?
I can see the itinerary as one single ticket both on AF FlyingBlue and Virgin Atlantic. Thanks
