KLM-DL AMS connection question
I've booked one of my progeny on a DL flight from AMS to ATL in Dec. If I book a separate KLM flight from EDI to AMS, will he be able to check his bags in EDI through to ATL? I'd assumed that KLM will interline with DL, but there seems to be some question about that.
Is 1 hour 10 minutes sufficient transfer time in AMS? I've done shorter there, but all on one KLM PNR.
Thanks in advance.

Plus the COVID-19 docs/health checks @AMS as Delta's FlyReady and KLM Upload @ Home are at the moment basically non functional there will be lines only after those checks you will get a BP.

1 hour 10 minutes on "connection" separate tickets is risky at any hub with any airline. I've done UK-AMS-US many times but on single tickets. A little fog in AMS can cause the UK flight to be held on the ground. It's happened to me in the past and I'm sure it will happen again. I wouldn't risk it this connection on separate tickets, not even at AMS.
