flying with Delta: enroll in their SkyMiles program, or something else?

[Will Collier]

Just as a follow-up, I called Delta a few minutes ago to try and get SkyMiles seats for a trip to eastern Europe next year, and the partner airlines came through for us. Delta didn't have anything themselves except the double-mileage "SkyChoice" seats, but one of the partners had exactly what we wanted, when we wanted it, and that included a multi-city itinerary. Now we're all set, free seats from Atlanta to Prague and from Budapest back to home.

Thanks for posting the original question, if I hadn't seen it, I'd have probably let booking the trip slide until it really was too late... ;-)
