Looking for help for a complex trip
Hi everyone,
I am trying to make up a complicated trip and am looking to see if it's worth redeeming miles for it and if yes then how to go about using the miles.
My trip details are:
May 14th - NYC - DXB
May 21st - DXB - IKA
May 29th - IKA - DEL
June 7th - DEL - NYC
All dates are flexible by +/- couple of days. I need two tickets and have the following miles
Chase UR - 500K
BA Avios - 250K
United - 120K
AA - 500K
I could find a ticket for about $1500 or so per person but not sure if I can get something better in economy using my miles.
Hope to get some opinion from experts.

I didn't do something all that different than you.
Although only one ticket.
2/5 TPA>IAD>AUH>BAH>IKA. 90k aa (9k back for citi card) flying f on us, ey, gf.
2/15 IKA>DXB/
2/24 \DXB>IAH. 90k as on ek f.
In between I have cheap flights between uae and mct to experience Oman and Abu Dhabi.
You seem to have a nice diversity of miles. I'd look at using aa on ey or qr. aa also partners with gf.
Feel free to pm before I depart if you have questions.
