I don't know if you could transfer Delta miles into Diners Club; then, you might convert Diners into BA miles. I know you can do it from AAdvantage into BA via Diners.

I just got off the phone with our "friends" at NWA. I'm about done with these people. They wonder why they're bankrupt. Cannot transfer delta or nw miles out. Once miles are in, they're in. Try to book a flight to Europe, business or first or combo. The charts say 100,000 miles is what we need each. "Oh we're sorry, there are no award seats available +/- four days of the dates we have off from work! 
Anybody know a good travel agent that can help out for a fee of course. I'm out of options except getting magazines, like I really need more of those...
Thank you

Haven't used it myself, but I've seen some positive comments from others about it.

But AA is the big exception. It has all sorts of choices for converting OUT of AA into other programs (including still DC-MC) or other awards (than airline flights). Look:
