SkyMiles is the loyalty program of Delta Air Lines, but its utility extends to an extensive global network of partner carriers within the SkyTeam alliance and various independent partners. In 2026, you can earn and redeem SkyMiles on flights operated by major international airlines including Air France, KLM, Virgin Atlantic, Korean Air, LATAM, and Aeromexico. Other notable partners include WestJet, China Eastern, ITA Airways, and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). This partnership allows SkyMiles members to book award travel to over 1,000 destinations worldwide. Furthermore, Medallion elite members enjoy reciprocal benefits such as priority boarding, lounge access, and preferred seating when flying on these partner airlines. The 2026 program is highly integrated, meaning that even if you never step foot on a Delta aircraft, you can still manage a global travel itinerary using your SkyMiles balance through their "Core Global" and "Global Airline" partner network, which currently covers nearly every continent.
