it would be cool if we can. It seems like Delta flights sold on NWA.com cost differently than delta flights sold on delta.com.

we wish... it would be nice, but thats one of the items in the Gap Analysis between NWA.com and Delta.com... there is a major lack of electronic certificate usability in the later. Plus going with Deltamatic, as has been mentioned, that usability will be farther out into the future...

Guess we have to stay tuned and not get excited. <lol>

Can we use e-cert to buy Delta flights on nwa.com? Are all the flights codeshare now?

Thinking yes
I'm thinking yes on that one. Probably good for anything purchased on nwa.com

Not sure if this is only a bug or things will improve little by little.

I think with DL flights showing up on nwa.com this is becoming more possible. However, they may book into different fare classes. Flights on nwa.com are not showing NW coded DL operated, but DL operated/coded flights outright but that doesn't mean the same fare class and fare ($) is the same on nwa.com and dl.com.

Did you do a fare search on dl.com to see if the fare was different? Either way, this increases options for dl flights with NW ECV's.

so is there a definite answer on using NWA ecerts for delta now that the merger is going on? I have a flight I want to book on nwa.com, and there are options for 1/2 delta (inbound) and 1/2 nw (outbound) or all delta flights, but I want to buy and use a NWA ecert to knock some of the price down. Will the ecert work on any flight on nwa.com, or only flights with all legs on NW?

I think as long as the the ticket is on NWA.com, you can use it. Unless there are extra conditions on your e-cert, for example, use only on NWA/Continental/KLM flights, etc.

Any updates on this? I wanted to use an ecert and a $$ 006 travel voucher at the same time, but couldnt because ecerts are only good on nwa.com and 006 vouchers only good on delta.com. I thought the backend was all the same thing now?

Combinable or not?
NW's ECV terms indicates vouchers are not combinable. ECV for Delta are. As NW's term for ECV now allow for ticketing on DL as well (at nwa.com), am hopeful NW will allow for combinability in the future..... Of course, we are talking about Delta controlling the stake....
