Here is what I have. I have 50K in Chase Ultimate Rewards, 260K in AmEx Points and I have 135K in American Airlines miles.
My goal to fly the first class 1 person for this trip and have once in a life time experience specifically for the long flight of 17 hours. Would appreciate some pointers and advice on this. Just not sure how best to utilize the points I have.
Have you flown business or first class long haul on international airlines? It’s not like USA domestic first. Many airlines do not have first class on long haul. It can be hard to get first class award flights. More so if specific dates. Generally for awards you need to be flexible with date & route.
QR is a partner of AA, so AA miles can be used for an award,
if available . Similarly a paid QR flight earn AA miles, subject to the t&c's. AA miles cannot be used for an upgrade.
Others will respond if possible to transfer to EK (or a partner), but I doubt if it is.
