Thread: DL/NW ZED issue conundrum

geez, Nick--you're making my brain SMOKE!! Great questions. Bet Jumper can clear up some or all.
Pretty sure # 3 is moot--point to point should be NYC base--don't forget EWR!! (many of us wish we could...)
I think the respective websites for DL and NWA will show who operates which one as codeshare or not--which zed works for what metal?
arghhhhh---too many G's!! Pull out, pull out!!

NW metal - NW zed - presume that your airline has an equilateral agreement but if that's not the case (After all, we're keeping our Alaska air agreement right now as apposed to ZED, thank the stars!) NW operated, NW metal =NW fare rules. The airlinks are usually covered by NW air but are now designated 'Delta connections'

Head spinning yet?

Yes didn&#39;t forget... so that gives me chances MCO-LGA/JFK/EWR on DL/AA/CO... and I have a WN buddy pass I can use if need be MCOBWILGA or MCOMDWLGA. Will def escape MCO!

Just a tad!

Thanks for the info. We just got a ZED with DL a few months ago, have had one with NW since I started 2yrs ago and prob longer.

OK well i&#39;ll follow the DL schedule program in terms of who to issue on, and will assume DTWAZO v.v. flights ticket to NW! Wish me luck

Welcome to the CC, Nick. That&#39;s the Conundrum Club. Pinnacle Parent here, and I agree w. the other posters. I&#39;m still feeling my way around, but did get ZEDs (because that&#39;s what us Pinnacle Parents need now) on NW for NW flts. NYC is writ large: LGA accepted our BDL (Hartford, 100 miles northeast) ZED tickets, and so did MSP going back to LGA. Good luck![/b]

I thought there&#39;d be more consensus on the issue, but then again I assume there are still more important things to integrate between DL/NW than staff travel concessions.

Looked it up, all DTWAZO flights are DL, except for one that is NW. Whatevs, i&#39;ll just get a DL ticket.

Glad to hear you did ok with the NYC area airports, although hopefully I don&#39;t end up in BDL.... bit far for my liking!

Technically it&#39;s NW metal for now but it may have shown as a code share on your site.
