When you fly with one of Delta's partner airlines, especially if you are a Medallion Member, you can get elite benefits. Some of these benefits are early boarding, better seats, and no baggage fees, so it doesn't matter which airline you fly with—the experience will be the same.
Core Global Airline Partners of Delta include Aeroméxico, Air France, China Eastern, KLM, Korean Air, LATAM, and Virgin Atlantic. These partners offer extra benefits like Global Upgrade Certificate Redemption in addition to faster check-in and boarding.
Also, Aerolíneas Argentinas, Air Europa, China Airlines, China Southern, Czech Airlines, Garuda Indonesia, Kenya Airways, MEA, Saudia Airlines, TAROM, Vietnam Airlines, WestJet, and Xiamen Airlines are some of Delta's Global Airline Partners. These partners offer benefits like early boarding and check-in.
Being a member of the SkyTeam alliance also gives you access to a lot of benefits across its 18 member airlines, which fly to over 175 countries and 1,150 destinations around the world. Depending on their Medallion level, Medallion Members get either SkyTeam Elite Plus or SkyTeam Elite status. This gives them access to a wide range of benefits when they fly on any SkyTeam airline.
