I noticed that when I search for flights in the random flights I sometimes get flights from other airlines (not Delta). Are we allowed to fly these flights?

Hi John,

Yes. We are allowed to do these flights. They are historic Delta flights, legacy carriers flights (flights Delta inherited from absorving other carriers) and associate carriers' flights (Skyteam members, close partners, etc)

Have fun!
Cheers!

Hi John,

As Gaston pointed out, yes you can fly any flight that is in our current schedule database. Our schedule is based off of real world pre covid Delta airlines schedule and the Skyteam schedule is also pre covid. Plus we have a lot of historical flights that are in our database as well. You are welcome to fly any of the routes in any aircraft that you are rated in, as long as you can safely make the trip with plenty of fuel reserves.

I hope that helps answer your question and adds more to the answer you’re looking for. smile

Best regards,

Joe
