How do you use Delta skymiles on Northwest. I want to fly Little Rock to Lihue, Hawaii. Delta doesn't havr that route but NWA does.
Thanks!

Use either the continental.com or nwa.com website to find flight availability, then call up Delta, and tell them you want to redeem Skymiles for an award flight on (NW,CO). Remember that at least segment-wise, you can mix and match airlines. That is, you could fly NWA out, and Delta back. I'm not sure if you could mix legs, say fly Delta to Houston, then Continental out.
Also, I don't know how the availability among the airlines works. If you didn't see any NWA seats on say nwa.com, I doubt Delta would be able to find any. However, if you do see some, I wouldn't assume that Delta can also grab them. It's possible say that if there are 10 FF seats on a Delta flight, all ten would be available using Skymiles, but only 8 to members of NW's or CO's FF program.
On my family's last trip to Hawaii (Oct 2003), using Skymiles, I booked 4 seats on Continental PHL-HOU-HNL, 2 tickets OGG-HOU-PHL (Maui) on Continental, and 2 tickets HNL-SLC-PHL on Delta.
