I just flew on a Flying Blue award MIA-CDG-TLV. I had Delta put my SkyMiles number on the reservation to take advantage of my Gold Medallion benefits (Lounge access, x2 checked bags, priority boarding). To my surprise, my Delta account is showing a credit of 6,632 miles for this trip, which looks like exact base mileage amount.
I assume this is not an elite benefit, but rather a glitch. Am I right? Pretty nifty if it is. The miles are in the account, for now I'm holding my breath.
It was a classic coach level award.
