China Airlines/Delta Sky Miles

[debgow]

I’ve just booked business class return BNE-LGW on China Airlines for a great price. Got business class for almost the same price that I paid last year on Cathay for PE. I am thinking of joining Delta Skymiles to credit the miles to. I am not familiar with the program and can’t find on their website how many points I will earn for this trip. Can anyone direct me to an online calculator or tell me how many points I’ll earn please? Thanks in advance

Unless it’s changed recently CI flights dont get a class bonus with Delta Skymiles so you would only get 100% of miles flown.
If you have status with another airline I’d look into doing the Delta status match aswell if that interests you

Have a look at Where to Credit: Where to Credit | Where to Credit China Airlines Flights

And yes, definitely look into the Delta status match. These flights should be enough to requalify for SkyTeam Elite Plus (if you already have equivalent status with another non-Skyteam airline) and you'd get those benefits on this trip as well.

Thanks for the info. If the status challenge is still going as the time gets closer, I will do that.
