I've been trying to find a flight in the pilot center for Avianca's MD-88. I can't really find one, I only find Delta, Alitalia, and Aeromexico. I live in Lima, Peru, and there are 2 daily flights from here to Bogota, Colombia. One is in a 767 and the other one in an MD-88. If anything, is there any possible way I could fly that route and still get credit for it?

Alonso, no encuentro vuelos con código compartido de Delta de Lima a Bogotá.....Aquí puedes reportar vuelos de Delta, Air France o cualquier código compartido con Delta....cualquier otro que no haya sido autorizado con anterioridad no podrá ser aprobado......Espero haber ayudado

If Horacio didn't say it. You can, if you can find the flight in the RW DAL PDF schedule. It does not need to be on our schedule.

There are Delta codeshare flights that are operated by Avianca. I know that they exist for Colombia and Ecuador. I would think Peru also. However, the flight between Lima and Bogota may not be a true codeshare but only one leg of two legs flight from Lima to the USA.

Check closely on Delta.com schedule if you use the PDF to find a codeshare flight, which is out-of-date the day it is published because of last minute schedule changes.

i was saying that I couldn't find any direct Delta's codeshare from Lima to Bogota. The one that appeared was Lima-Mexico; Mexico-Atlanta and then Atlanta-Bogota....long flight..

You are correct Horacio. Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about it. The schedule is what it is. I sympathize with you, but if you can't find in the flight you desire in the Delta schedule, then it is not a codeshare flight, and therefore not a valid flight. By the way, I just looked on the Delta site to confirm what you said. Sorry...
