I am looking for a frequent flyer program that has one-way awards issued for fewer miles than the roundtrip award level that can be used for SkyTeam award trips. Any frequent flyer program that has such an option (to redeem on SkyTeam carriers)?

With * Alliance, BD (BMI) has great one-way awards too. (BD's one-way awards are at 50% of the roundtrip award level.)
I don't know of any SkyTeam one-way options yet, and that's why I'm curious about this.

I found out that QF and VS also have one-way awards that are cheaper than the roundtrip award levels.
Apparently, AF/KL's program may still have one-way award options of the discounted sort too. I need to look at that now.
