Hey everyone, I hope this in the right place. I searched around the website and didn't get much info. Anyways, I am planning on going from LAX to DXB in early June. I don't really know where to start with the whole mileage/points scenarios and what airlines to choose. I'd like to go Emirates and it seems they have a good rewards program but they cost more. This is my first international trip and I plan on traveling more but am pretty unsure of how to go about the whole airline miles scenario. Thanks!^
