I'm confused with my itinerary ticket?

Question

Ok, I'll be flying next month and I got my itinerary ticket already. When I was browsing the information, I got confused when it says Delta 1234* (on the Flight column)* Operated by Korean Air as KE Flt 39. What does that mean? Am I using a Delta airplane or a Korean Air airplane? And which plane number am I suppose to be looking for? I don't travel overseas much. In fact this is only my 2nd time. The 1st time, it was hassle free cos I was using the same airplane the whole way through.

Answer 1

You booked your flight through Delta, but you will be on a Korean Air jet. You check in with Delta. You will then be instructed as to which gate to go to when you check in.

Sometimes the monitors will show both flight numbers. I don't know which airport you are leaving from, so I cannot say if the monitors at your airport will show both flight numbers. Nonetheless, if you find the gate for Korean Air flight number 39, you are at the correct gate.

If in doubt, when you get to the gate, show the person behind the counter your ticket. That person will be able to tell you if you are at the correct gate or not.

Answer 2

You are using a Korean Air plane. If Korean Air's terminal is A and Delta's is B, go to Terminal A. Look for Korean Air flight number,however,they may also provide the flight number of Delta's. It is a Korean Air plane but you could also book through Delta. Hope this helps! Bon Voyage!

Answer 3

You should check in at the Delta counter and go to the Korean Air gate to board the plane. Since the flight is operated by Korean Air, it's a Korean air crew, plane, etc. Look for the Korean Air flight number on the monitors.

Answer 4

This happened to me when I flew from Calgary to Seattle, Although booked on Alaskan, I flew Horizon and still checked in at the Alaskan desk.

Although booked on Delta 1234, the flight is inconjuction with Korean Air, so you'll be on a Korean aircraft, when you go to check in you will still check in at the desk that say's Delta 1234.
They will tell you what departure gate to go to, and to be there by a certain time. When you get there, the gate will say Delta 1234/Korean Air 39 (KE 39). Although there will be a Korean aircraft at the gate, you will be in the right place.

Have a great flight and time where ever you are off to.

Answer 5

It is a legitimate DL flight, operated by another airline. Both DL1234 and KE39 should show on the Arr/Dep screen.

You can check in at either Delta or Korean Airlines. However, if the Korean Airlines plane is departing out of the international terminal, and Delta is in a different terminal, then you should definitely go to where the plane is, 'cos Korean Airlines needs to take your luggage to put on the plane. If they have code-share, their computers are linked. You may see DL1234 at the Korean Airlines counter. Besides, Korean airlines agents (not Delta) will assume full control of seat assignments on day of departure.

Answer 6

You are getting some confusing information. It is all essentially correct, but nine is answering your question. Airplane tickets no longer exist in the familiar form they once did (the hard to read paper tickets with the read carbon paper backing). Your itinerary should have a six digit code (letters and numbers) This is your "ticket". If you have that code you can either check in online from home, or at the airport. It would be a good idea to take the itinerary with you so you have easy reference to the code and to your departure times. Have a good trip

Answer 7

It is called "code-share" as they have special arrangements and belong to the same airlane alliance: skyteam!
