I see that a round trip flight would be close to 130,000 miles on Skypass

SkyPass is not a transferable partner with any CC after they dropped Chase a few years ago. What you could do is to transfer from AX to Marriott at a 1:1 ratio and then from Marriott to KAL at a 3:1 ratio. KAL also dropped the Marriott transfer bonus, so you'd be looking at 390 000 AX points for your award.
