Deciding which cards to keep

After a rough year I am finally getting my life back in order. Outside of my mortgage, I am finally going to be done with my debt. I am really bad when it comes to budgeting and credit, and I need to drop some of my credit cards.Right now I have: DCU, Capital One, Aviator Red, Citi AA, and Delta American Express Gold and Platinum.

I actually have very specific life/flying goals. I want to get on an A380 business, I want to fly in a suite, and I want to get to Singapore. Logically that sounds like a Singapore A380, assuming they keep them around, but I am not tied to Singapore airlines by any means.

So, what those things in mind, do you think I would be better off dropping most/all of my current cards and get something that is more likely to get me points I can use for my flying goals, or would I be better off just keeping 2 or 3 of my current cards and focusing on saving enough cash to just outright by tickets? I don't fly for work, most of my flying is domestic on AA/DL/B6, and I don't have any business spending to earn a ton of Credit Card miles. At the same time, I know I have to sue credit cards, and I hate to just let all that spending go to waste.

Dilemmas, dilemmas.
