Delta Air Lines is SkyTeam‘s only US airline and offers very good service on its flights. Its frequent flyer program – Delta SkyMiles – used to be just as good, but has now become a frequent spender program, with the ticket price now being the only deciding factor for how many miles you’ll get. Starting in 2024, you’ll earn 1 MQD (status mile) per Dollar spent, and 5-11 RDM (award miles) per Dollar spent, depending on your status.
Things become more complicated, however, if you’re flying with other SkyTeam airlines. In that case, the earnings are based on the distance flown and the booking class. If you know these two things, just put them in our calculator, and we’ll show you how many MQD and miles you can expect to earn:
We do not guarantee that our calculation is correct, and we have no official connection to either Delta Air Lines nor SkyMiles. You should view the result as a rough estimate.

- Flight price (optional): Only important if Delta sold the flights, as the calculation is then based on the ticket price. Otherwise, you can skip this part. The price should be entered in dollars (excluding taxes). Alternatively, add the currency code (e.g. 450EUR, 400GBP, etc.)
How far does that leave me from a frequent flyer status?
Not only is it important to know how many miles you’ll get, but also how much those miles are worth. By using this status calculator, you’ll find out if you qualify for a frequent flyer status, or if you have some more flying ahead of you:
