Is there a DDMS explains how this works? You credit your flight to a different airline? That means for example if I have a delta flight I shouldn’t add my SkyMiles number to the reservation but rather a different mileage account?
If you are trying to get my attention/assistance and I'm not responding, please feel free to PM me. :)

Correct. It's about figuring out which milage program will give you the most for your flight. Obviously, you can only credit to  select programs depending on who you fly.

Thank you @as2 if I’m flying delta I can’t add my Skymiles to the reservation so that I can find it under my online account? Also, I have an upcoming ElAl flight. I’m trying to look at the website in the wiki but I don’t even know where to find my class - doesn’t say anywhere on reservation...

Hi, I booked a multi destination ticket TLV-YYZ with Elal, connecting to LGA with Westjet (also marketed as Delta), JFK-TLV With Delta(!). Can I credit all the miles to Delta even the LY segment? And also, on which alliance can I use Westjet Rwards.
Thanks

My son flew on AC in October (booking code U) and for whatever reason I didn't credit it yet anywhere. What's the best place that will still allow me to (possibly open an account now) and get retro credit?

Return flight is this week booking code T.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
