I have 0 Skywards and don't know when I'll fly Emirates again. I'm a Delta Platinum, but there is no way to get to Chennai from outside India on a Skyteam Ccrrier.

Since you all know the program, I thought you might have some recommendations. Should I earn Skywards or one of the partner airlines?
STLSpidey, I'm not sure if we let Delta people post here. But then again we let BA people in from time to time, so why not I'm kidding.

Seriously, welcome to FT and the EK forum. You should join the Dark Side. EK is currently on world domination plans and the recent EK/QF announcement, plus the pending EK/AA partnership will perhaps provide you with a lot more earn/burn options that you thought.

I flew Delta once...still getting over the experience
