Any transfer bonus to Airline program?
I need to redeem a package for a 7-day certificate and 120K miles?
Is there any current promotion?
If not, which program I should consider transferring to? Thanks.

The only promotion I'm aware of is a possible UA promotion, due to the partnership between UA and Marriott. See here:

and here:

And for promotions in general, check this thread, which is always near the top of the first page (ie, "sticky"):

... Knowing nothing about you (what airline to transfer to is likely to be a personal choice, based on things like where you're based, which airlines you already collect with, where you want to fly with the miles, etc, etc), I can't guess which airline would better.

And DL int'l redemptions up front (again, for the legroom) are hard to come by, so the fact that AS also partners with DL doesn't excite me. (I already have a bunch of DL miles and they never work when I need to go to a location that SkyTeam flies to. Are AS miles really going to work better on DL than DL miles?)

It depends at lot on how you use them, and where you do and don't have status, and perhaps on how tall you are. If you have AA lifetime plat Status (like I do) but no AS status, AA status works on Alaska flights if you book with AA miles (or book paid using AA FFP #), but not if you book with AS miles (there's then no link to your AA status). So I get access to better seats on AS if I book using AA than I book using AS. (I'm fairly tall, so exit row or extra-legroom seating of another kind is fairly important to me.)
