Isn't there still an award chart for partner redemptions? Or has that been done away with too?
DL has roundtrip awards for YYC-MSY from 21.5K in BE and 27K in main cabin. I don't see anything near 200K for coach. Maybe for FC
200K was for J/F. But I've also frequently seen >100K for Y. Regardless, Aeroplan costs 50K for a J redemption intra-North America and 110K to Europe, if one can find the availability. And in Canada, it's easy to earn at least 1 Aeroplan mile per C$ spent through various credit cards, but no DL cards here, while Amex MR transfer 1:1 to Aeroplan but only 1:0.75 to SkyMiles.
I'm not saying there aren't potentially some decent redemptions available in SkyMiles, I'm just saying OP shouldn't expect that to be an advantage in switching to DL.
