    I think it is kind of in between a spouse and yield fare ( although I am really not sure what a yield fare is ).. But for example, we traveled to Ft Lauderdale from Atlanta last year. My partners flight was absolutely free, but from his check, they deducted what is called Imputed Income for my travel, which totalled about 30 dollars. A yield fare was higher than that per the yield fare calculator on Travlenet.

    How do you go about telling how much it will actually cost ? When I have booked before, it never gives me an amount. I can tell within 2 days how much it was, because it will list it after the travel is complete on a page called " Imputed Income " page.. But as far as knowing before hand, we cant figure out how to tell. The only calculators offered are Yield fare, buddy pass, and Interline travel..

    As I understand it, a spouse's ticket would be absolutely free as well. Am I correct about that ?
    Thanks so much !!!

    You can find all the info thru your employee partner looking at Deltanet. Go to Domestic Partner section--read thru to bottom as applies to you, then at bottom of page find link for Imputed Income pass travel costs. It's explained as a total base yield fare as taxable income. The example explains ATL/ZUR RT in detail and you apply estimated employee tax bracket to get approx costs. You're just being charged the trip costs as income, not as an actual yield fare.

    Calculate imputed income for dom part: domestic travel, multiply miles by $0.036; international $0.0262; travel to/from Alaska/Hawaii, $0.0166.
    Hope that helps!

    I may be wrong, but I am almost positive this what I read when Delta made the Domestic Partner rule: Delta considers DP and spouse the same for travel privileges, but the IRS does not. The value of the ticket is considered income and therefore the tax must be paid.

    Something similar was posted on Travel Net about DPs using ZED fares. Something along the lines of: While Delta does not make a distinction, not all airlines treat a DP the same as a spouse.

    The short answer: Spouses are free domestically, and pay the same as employees for overseas.
