Eligible Flights expressly excludes flights marketed by airlines that are not Delta Core Global Airline partners or SkyTeam members.

- 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:
- 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)
- 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 = MQD’s for such passenger’s flight calculated using the Exception Fare policy.
- All passengers listed in the Delta Vacations booking will earn on the flight portion of the package based on the following:
- In addition to the MQDs earned on the flight component (if applicable), the passenger who books the package will earn MQDs on the nonflight portion of the Total Package Price based on the following:
- If the flight MQDs for all passengers were calculated using flight option 1 above: No additional nonflight MQDs earned.
- If the flight MQDs for all passengers were calculated using flight option 2 above: The number of additional nonflight MQDs earned by the lead booker = Total Package Price – (sum of all passengers’ Exception Fares).
- If no flight is attached to the booking, only the lead booker earns nonflight MQDs equivalent to the Total Package Price.
- This calculation does not apply to packages of 8 people or more (“Group Packages”). On Group Packages, each passenger will only be eligible to earn MQDs on the flight portion of the package using the Exception Fares policy.
