But look at Delta's web site or call to get a flight on hold, then transfer your MR points. Plus I think you have to register for the 50% promo.

That's probably the route to choose. Finding flights on AF/KL can keep the mileage at 120K. Flying DL will mean it almost certainly is more than that. 9W and IT flights can be booked with SkyMiles, but I don't know of any way to check their award inventory online. (I've seen some indication that maybe if you sign up for their FF programs and search the seats will be available for partner booking, but that's never a sure thing.)
