One way ticket, delta metal only (was changed by delta from Westjet code share). Does not show.

Delta.com shows the itinerary again and instructs me to check in with Westjet.

However, entering either Delta or Westjet's PNR at Westjet.com results in:

We’re sorry, you require a paper ticket.
Please see a WestJet agent at Guest assistance on arrival at the airport to complete check-in.


Is this typical for Westjet flights issued on a different ticket stock?

I didn't personally book any of these (but I tried!) but I have two friends who got in on it.

Both were on WestJet and were moved over to Delta.

Now, both didn't get miles with reason code "N." One inquired, and was told basically that it was a non-rev flight.

Anyone get miles for these? Did Delta maybe rebook improperly from WestJet?

Intentional I believe. Both my tickets were coded as non-FF accrual tickets.

Yeah - it looks like in both cases, the base fare was zero.

Anyone know if the base fare of the original tickets was zero, or if that was something Delta slipped in when they move the tickets from WestJet to Delta metal?

My flights were all on Delta Metal and were still non FF earning.

Right - but were they originally Delta metal, or did Delta move you over from WestJet metal?
