Later this month I am flying AKL-xBNE-xLAX-SEA / OAK-xLAX-xSYD-AKL (although likely to ditch the final SYD-AKL) in J (/F for US dom flights), on a combination of DL and VA metal. Ticket was sold by DL and all flights are DL-coded, although everything except the LAX-SEA and OAK-LAX is on VA metal.
Any suggestions as to which FF program I should credit these flights to, noting I very rarely fly SkyTeam carriers (or visit destinations where SkyTeam has a significant presence, other than the USA)?
VA itself seems the obvious choice as I'll be able to get some utility out of the points, and the SCs will tip me over the 500 needed for Velocity Gold (although will still need to meet the 4 x eligible sector requirement). That said, I've read a few references online suggesting VA don't award points or SC for DL-coded flights flown on VA metal - I haven't been able to find a definitive answer to this, is anyone able to confirm or deny from practical experience?
Other than VA, any other programs I should consider?
Thanks,
Matt
