Most may say that Southwest has a good FF program.

Elite Upgrade Rate: 0%

Top fliers get free Lounge: 0%

When is the last time a Southwest Passenger, sitting in the Southwest Lounge, got that e-mail saying that your "upgrade" has been confirmed?

When is the last time a Southwest Passenger used Miles for a free flight on a partner airline?

But yes, you may find it a little easier to score a free flight.

Kind of hard to compare all of the programs. Some airlines small, others large.

A free ticket on Alaska isn't quite the same as Delta - the Alaska free ticket is more limited in destinations whereas Delta is larger and more destinations. Of course, you may be able to use the partner options to expand your options - just talking about a free ticket on that airlines own Metal.
