I have absolutely no idea to put the VN logo on Skyteam website yet. So please try to be more patience for awhile.

Oh I don't care, really. I was merely pointing it out. My guess is they will wait until RO joins and then change the graphic to include both. Kind of pathetic, if you ask me, just take a look at how Star Alliance does these things.

As of today, Delta doesn't offer any codeshare with VN air from LAX to HAN or SGN, just CI and KE.

And??

Codeshares are a different beast from Alliance partnership. They also generally have different governmental requirements.

Took the domestics flt on 12Jun from SGN-HAN, economy
The check-in agent said that the Flying blue gold do not apply to VNA domestic flight, so did not offer any extra baggage, priority baggage tag,
The benefit of Skyteam Elite Plus still not uploaded to the skyteam web, so cannot find it was true or not!

But they have been uploaded to the AF and KL websites. And I don't see any distinction made between domestic and international flights:

That's a helpful link. It shows no reference to increased baggage allowances as a function of FB status.

Good! I am looking forward to flying on VN sometimes in the future. I can't wait. Is that an official news releases from DL yet? I didn't see it the PR came in yet.

FWIW the new SkyTeam logo is splashed across all the press materials at the press conference regarding the 10th anniversary of the alliance. It includes RO and VN.



There's another version with everything on two rows in addition to the above iteration.
