I am referring to booking flights on Delta through KLM. Since the airport I’m referring to is a small regional airport in south GA with only two commercial inbound flights a day both on Delta, of course they are overpriced for a 50 minute flight.
I don’t have a choice if I want to fly to see my parents since that’s the only airline that services their airport.
But a more popular route I take is from Orlando (MCO) my current home to my former home Atlanta - a Delta hub. Those flights range from $100 to $175 one way. Again by booking Delta flights through Virgin (a UK airline) is 7500 points making the Amex points worth 2 cents each. If you want to fly direct to or from Atlanta, you’re going to fly Delta more than likely.
Again, that’s for YOU using that booking system. Not every customer is paying that rate.
It’s not a “booking system”. It’s a partner airline.

Just like you can book a Virgin airlines route via Delta.

KLM is an airline.
Getting tickets for a flight on any airline uses a booking system.
