How long does it take for China Airlines flight miles to post on Delta?

It has been 5 days and the miles are not showing up on Delta's account. Should I worry or it's normal?

Surely a phone call to Delta would answer your question. Its common knowledge that airlines trade FF info up to one month after the flight so dont be suprised to wait for it to appear

If you want the mileage to be posted to your account quickly, you can send the document to Delta for them to manulaly credit for you.

In 2008, I flew Delta code-share flights on China Airlines from LAX to TPE and return. The out-bound flight, i.e. LAX to TPE, was credited to my Delta account within several days of the flight; however, the return flight was not credited for a few months. I ended up sending my boarding pass stub by facsimile to DELTA and the flight miles was credited within a few days.

I would suggest you do that rather than waiting for the home office of China Airlines to transmit the data.

I recently flew CI from HKG to BKK in C. The check in agent has entered the DL SM # and it appeared on the boarding pass. Miles not credited into DL SM after 3 weeks. So I faxed in my CI boarding pass and e-ticket and the miles were credited within a few days.

I'd wait another week. If still not posted, fax in your CI boarding pass and ticket to DL SM.

My friend called Delta and got the miles posted the same day, like I said they only exchange information every month which is about right for league 2 airlines like this
