Booked this - thanks OP.
Quick question - I've flown KLM before, credited to DL, and it was all distance/fare class based. Was just looking over how KLM credited back to Skymiles and I noticed the following wording which I hadn't recalled seeing before in the "MILEAGE EARN ON/AFTER JAN. 1, 2018" (albeit right above the "MILEAGE EARN BETWEEN FEB. 1, 2016 AND DEC. 31, 2017" link):
KLM-marketed flights will earn mileage based on the table below if they are ticketed by Delta or meet all three of the following criteria:

- Part of a transatlantic itinerary1;
- Ticketed by KLM; and
- Operated by either Delta or KLM
Same thing happened with a VA flight I took in Dec 2017 (new rules early). Because it was DL ticketed, I expected to earn based on fare, but the rule change meant I earned based on distance (great for MQDs).

This is the first deal I have ever booked from FT.
My flight leaves at the end of March. By early April I should know how this all gets credited to my Delta account.
I'm flying from LAX to AMS in Delta One suite. The ticket is from KLM, and the online instruction is to "check in with Delta" at the LAX airport.
My goal is to reach Platinum Medallion before the year is over.

Note there's no D1 Suites on LAX/AMS. DL flies their A330, not A350 or 777. *absent an upgauge.

It doesn't apply to anyone. No ticket issued in 2017 still would be usable. It was an attempt to make KL flights earn like DL within DL program due to JV. Failed miserably due to how complicated it was, and KL didn't always send fare info, and the onward AMS flight could be to somewhere outside their JV.

On Monday 3/25/2019 I fly from LAX to AMS with a 12 hour layover in Amsterdam from 8am to 8pm.
Then a non-stop to KUL, Malaysia. I'm staying for 7 nights before returning KUL-AMS-LAX.
Thanks for posting this deal!
