We do plan on going back to that region so perhaps we could transfer those into one account and use for a domestic with them.
Just to be clear...you can't transfer miles between *A accounts at all (there are some complicated roundabout ways, but these devalue the miles greatly.) So your SAS miles are never going to help you with your UA account. You also can't transfer miles from different family members into a single account (there are some household account exceptions, though these don't apply here.) Bottom line: your SAS miles are pretty worthless as they are (maybe you can buy something with them?) In future, you should concentrate your *A earning in one programme only.
