Thanks for the help everyone, and I look forward to many exciting trip reports and travel stories in the near future.
1. SkyMiles are rarely redeemable.
2. If they are, then you'll encounter heavy fuel surcharges on itineraries from Europe.

My advice is to credit your Delta flight to Alaska then sign up for a real mileage program.
