Accruing Miles in NWA
Hi -
I am Gold Elite in NW and will be Platinum soon. I am traveling SFO-SIN-DEL-SFO in first week of June and getting a very good deal in Singapore airlines.
Now my question is can i get miles on Delta by flying Singapore airlines as it is a sky team partner and then move miles from delta to NW.
Is there any restriction on getting miles on Delta by flying Singapore airlines like certain fare class or anything?
Is there any other NW partner airlines where i can get upgrade to Business by using miles because i'll flying economy on Singapore airlines?
Appreciate answers on all the points.
Thanks

DL SkyMiles air partner earning is detailed here. Do not overlook the footnotes.

SkyTeam added a benefit whereby (IIRC) it is possible to use miles from any SkyTeam airline to upgrade another SkyTeam airline's intercontinental Y fares. That's full Y, not generic economy fares. (This is why it is important to note SQ is not a SkyTeam airline.) See last paragraph.
