I can't even redeem SkyMiles for Korean Air flights anymore! I was wondering what are good alternatives to the SkyMiles program, or even just a program that is a partner with Delta. I've looked at Virgin Flying Club (which has outrageous fees and scarce award availability), and have heard some good things about AF/KLM.
But how many flights and/or credit card spend to get 600,000 DL ff miles or 150,000 AS AA ff miles.
Depending on your objectives from a ffp earn to burn is what matters.
What is your flying spending profile? Are other airlines - credit cards.
FF miles are a minor by product of flying and/or spending. Not the reason to fly and/or spend $$$.

Which ST program should I sign up for?
