  • SkyMiles members will be awarded the MQDs as follows:
    • All passengers listed in the Delta Vacations booking will earn on the flight portion of the package based on the following:
      1. Flight Option #1: If the sum of all passengers’ Exception Fares is greater than or equal to the Total Package Price, then the number of flight MQDs earned by each passenger = (Total Package Price / total # of passengers on the booking itinerary).
      2. Flight Option #2: If the sum of all passengers’ Exception Fares is less than the Total Package Price, then the number of flight MQDs earned by each passenger = MQDs for such passenger’s flight calculated using the Exception Fare policy.
    • In addition to the MQDs earned on the flight component (if applicable), the passenger who books the package will earn MQDs on the non-flight portion of the Total Package Price based on the following:
      1. If the flight MQDs for all passengers were calculated using flight option 1 above: No additional non-flight MQDs earned.
      2. If the flight MQDs for all passengers were calculated using flight option 2 above: The number of additional non-flight MQDs earned by the lead booker = Total Package Price – (sum of all passengers’ Exception Fares).
      3. If no flight is attached to the booking, only the lead booker earns non-flight MQDs equivalent to the Total Package Price.
    • This calculation does not apply to packages booked by agencies. On packages booked by agencies, SkyMiles members will only be eligible to earn MQDs on the flight portion of the package using the Exception Fares policy.
• Medallion Status Earn – for bookings traveling on or before december 31, 2023
  • Member will earn MQDs on their flight one of two ways based on their trip at time of booking: "MQDs when you fly" or (2) "MQDs with exception fares." "MQDs when you fly" calculates MQDs based on the money you spend on Delta-marketed flights (flight numbers that include the “DL” airline code) in Main Cabin or above. This includes only the base fare and any carrier-imposed surcharges (excluding taxes and government-imposed fees). For example, if your flight costs $358 (including $51 in taxes and government-imposed fees), you would earn 307 MQDs for that flight. For purposes of this calculation, Delta Vacations will assume the value of the ticket will be equal to the retail value at the time of booking of the same flight number, date, cabin, fare class, fare basis code, and ticket price provided that this information may only be available to Delta Vacations and not the SkyMiles member. "MQDs with exception fares" calculates MQDs by counting one-fifth of the miles earned from the “Miles when you fly with exception fares." formula (before applying any Medallion Status bonus mileage multiplier) as MQDs. For example, if you earn 1,500 miles on an exception fare, you would earn 300 MQDs on that fare. For additional information on how to calculate, visit “MQDs with exception fares.” The member will receive the greater of "MQDs when you fly" or "MQDs when you fly with exception fares" at the time of booking, as determined by Delta Vacations in its sole discretion plus an additional 1 MQD.When providing a SkyMiles number, miles will be awarded for Delta Vacations packages, including Delta flights, Delta-coded flights operated by the airline partners below, and flights coded and operated by the following airlines partners: Delta Connection carrier and Delta shuttle flights, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, Aeromexico, and Air France.
