Dubai Relocation
I am currently leaving in the US, but I will be relocated in Dubai. I have lots of milage with AA, CO, UA (around 100,000 each). I don't want to loose the mileages, so I have two options:
- Travel all around using all my miles, or/and
- Transfer them to airlines based in Dubai.
I will be travelling very frequently with Emirates as soon as I am relocated.
I need your advice... @:-)
Thank you,
Alex.

You can't really "transfer" your miles into another airlines program. ATo keep your miles you just need some type of activity usually every three years. This can be redeeming a ticket, buying flowers through the website or having a hotel stay that gives miles. You may want to see who partners with whom. Just because you are relocating doesn't mean you have to start over!!!

Emirates allows you tp ost with UA whose redemption rates are far superior to EK so I would put all my Emirates flights into the Mileage Plus account.
