How to Transfer miles from JapanAir to NWA?

OK experts,
I have booked a ticket from IND-NYC-Tokyo-ORD-IND, first leg is on Delta, the remaining 3 legs of the trip are on Japan Air. Is it possible to accumulate miles on just one airline for such a trip. (I would prefer to get NWA miles, they are a Delta partner, but not a JAL partner) .
Or am I stuck with having to get AA miles through JAL or something?
Any input is appreciated..

it's 2 different carriers with no alliance whatsoever. You've answered your own question...

Unless you do a 3rd party (transfer the miles to Amex and transfer again to NW). This way you'll lose a lot of points.

This question is more appropriate for MilesBuzz than Mileage Run, so I'm moving it there.

That said, you can put it all to AF & keep it all on one SkyTeam carrier.

Thanks for the AirFrance idea. I apologize for being such a noob, but if I put these miles on AF/Flying Blue, can I then tranfer them from FB to NWA Worldperks and accumulate status and reward points without a hitch?
Thanks again!
