Primary destinations in the US would be NYC and PIT, with most transatlantic travel in Y. DL offers 2x daily JFK-PIT, and CO also EWR-PIT.
If you do not enjoy travelling in WHY, you should get an OK+ card. AFAIK it is the only Skyteam airline, if not the only airline in general, where Elite status means unlimited space-available upgrades systemwide. Their long-haul biz class isn't up to SQ/CX or even BA standards, but still quite a bit better than eco! Only problem might be limited connections from NYC. I know you can go anywhere in the CO/DL networks with an ex-PRG tkt, but not sure about 3-segment flts.
