What partner awards I can , should book on and where do I search for them? Is it for AA partners, I should look at BA website, & for UA partners, just look at UA website? Are there any direct flights there?
I also need to look at hotels and I have status and some points from Club Carlson, Hyatt.
For AA you can take AA partner EY to ORD-Abu Dhabi and then a shortish 72 mile bus/limo ride to DXB.
Business class award availability with AA ff miles will be an issue
