• 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.
• 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:
1. If the flight MQDs for all passengers were calculated using flight option 1 above: No additional nonflight MQDs earned.
2. If the flight MQDs for all passengers were calculated using flight option 2 above: The number of additional nonflight MQDs earned by the primary passenger = Total Package Price – (sum of all passengers’ Exception Fares).
3. If no flight is attached to the booking, only the primary passenger earns nonflight MQDs equivalent to the Total Package Price.
• If a SkyMiles Member pays for a Delta Vacations package using miles, the calculation listed above will not apply. Instead, members paying with miles will earn 1 MQD for every 100 Delta miles redeemed on a Delta Vacations booking. If payment is split between miles and other forms of payment, the portion paid using cash or other similar forms of payment will earn MQDs based on the calculation set forth above, and the mileage potion of the payment will earn MQDs at a rate of 1 MQD per 100 miles. Terms and conditions of mileage redemption apply; for full terms, visit Use Miles.
