SkyTeam - DL Skyteam Award Chart... Is there one?

I'm a UA MP *G and am confused as I shop between AA and DL as a frequent SE Asia traveler. UA has a *A award chart that is basically 1/2 of the primetime UA MP requirements, or equal to "saver" awards. You call in and if they have alliance partner seats available you get them at a fixed mileage point. (MCO-BKK in F is 140K miles). On DL site, I only see a single chart with the low-medium-high bs that gives no clarity. Before I switch, I need to understand what a SE Asia award ticket will cost. Thanks for any details. I scanned the FT and could not easily find the answer. Does DL simply keep you guessing on low/med/high whether DL or Skyteam awards? With UA/*A, along with other grief, at least this is a known known.

Skyteam awards will always apply at the "Low" category. "Medium" and "High" are only for redemptions on DL metal

Although if your primary program is UA, I'd recommend AA as your secondary focus - primarily because they allow one-way awards at half the price of a return.

If you're flying within Southeast Asia often, Jetstar Asia and Thai AirAsia awards may be of interest to you. Awards are either 15,000 or 20,000 miles round-trip.
Also, the Southeast Asia awards chart does not include the Philippines, which for some reason is grouped as part of Northern Asia (China, Japan, Korea and the like).

Keeping in mind that Jetstar and AirAsia awards are only for those residing in Asia and have an Asian address on their Skymiles Account :td:
I could have really used this for my upcoming trip until I ran into that roadblock.

Well, I have a U.S. address and a Philippine address registered with my account, so I can redeem with no problem. :D
I think it would be wise right now to borrow a friend's address if you know people who live in Asia full-time. :p
