On what airlines can I use Delta SkyMiles?

Delta is part of the SkyTeam alliance, meaning you can use your Delta SkyMiles earned from these credit card offers with many partner airlines such as Aeromexico, Air France, China Eastern, KLM, Korean Air, LATAM, Virgin Atlantic and WestJet. These partnerships allow you to visit almost any destination imaginable.



You can use your Delta SkyMiles on any of the 18 SkyTeam alliance members, including major carriers like Air France, KLM, Korean Air, Aeromexico, and Virgin Atlantic. In 2026, the list also includes Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), which joined the alliance in late 2024. Beyond the core SkyTeam group, Delta has "Global Airline Partners" like WestJet, LATAM, and Cape Air where you can also earn or redeem miles. For Medallion members, flying on "Core Global Partners" (like Virgin Atlantic or Air France) provides elevated benefits like priority boarding and global upgrade certificates. However, redemption rates can vary wildly between partners; "Award Travel" on a partner airline often requires more miles than a Delta-operated flight, and you should always check if the partner flight allows for seat selection or baggage allowances before finalizing the booking.
