Except that the Delta will probably just be the United sold via Delta!
- mcv 10y agoIs that possible? That you actively try to avoid United and still end up in a United plane?
- jdeibele 10y agoIf you're not paying attention, yes. I checked flights on Kayak from SF to Vancouver and a lot of the results look like this: Tue, May 2 Air Canada logo 10:45a – 1:01p Air Canada• Operated by United 2h 16m SFO – YVR nonstop Flight details That's because United and Air Canada "codeshare", meaning you can book with United or Air Canada but that flight is on a United plane. Of course, it goes the other way: you can book an Air Canada plane but use a United flight number. https://www.united.com/CMS/en-US/Marketing/CustComm/Promotions/Pages/AirlinePartners.aspx https://www.united.com/CMS/en-US/Marketing/CustComm/Promotio... https://www.kayak.com/flights/SFO-YVR/2017-05-02/2017-05-07?fs=specificleg=SFOYVR1493719200000AC51151;providers=-AA https://www.kayak.com/flights/SFO-YVR/2017-05-02/2017-05-07?...
- FabHK 10y agoAir Canada and United are both Star Alliance (like Lufthansa, Thai, and many others). Delta is SkyTeam. Booking Delta and flying United metal is much less likely.
- mcv 10y agoWait, so flying Lufthansa could have me end up in United? That is something to keep in mind when booking tickets in Europe.
