What program to earn in?
 

A colleague of mine has the following upcoming flights:

YYZ-JFK-BOM-JFK-YYZ - Delta
BOM-KUL-SYD-KUL-BOM - Malaysian

He usually flights to the Indian sub-continent 2-3 times a year as well on either KL/AF/DL/CO.

What program would be the best to earn mileage on.

His priority is not of earning status but the ease of redeeming reward travel and lower redemption values.

Redemption would primarily be: NA to India and NA to NA.

Thanks for any assistance provided.

My apologies. For some reason I assumed that MH was apart of Sky Team.

Can you earn miles on any Sky Team airline partner when flying MH?

You should be able to earn miles when flying MH, but not EQM with NW.

See here for the few exceptions: http://www.nwa.com/worldperks/earn/a...shtml#malaysia

Others might be the same, but I'm not familiar with other FF programs in ST.

The only other SkyTeam FFP that allows one to earn miles on MH is Flying Blue. No status miles either
