If I'm seeing a Delta flight from N. America to Europe, for 70,000 miles in Delta One, am I able to book it with another airline? If yes, what would be the best airline to book it with?

Dl 30k is cheaper then AA 30k

All of which have no YQ on US airlines

And 10k VS +$148 in tax/yq, may still be the best value.

I guess my question should be the opposite!

Best way from MAN-JFK, as the YQ is allot higher.
Fees are showing as 169 Pounds ($220).
