Converting miles between airlines?

Hello

sorry to take up your time but I have a situation.

First of all, moderator, please move this thread if it is in the wrong forum

Without realizing it, I have accumulated miles in 3 different airlines and I would like to stick to just one so my question is: is it possible to transfer my miles through "laundering" on a previous thread?

I have 90,000 NW miles (travelling when young with parents)

18,000 Continental miles (Through EVA Air)

13,000 AA miles

My ultimate wish is to go with AA as they seem to have the most partners, JL, Cathay that goes to Asia.

I don't care much for Northwest because their domestic prices seem ridiculous to me

Example: NW is having a 35% off companion fare, I try pricing 11/21-11/25 from DTW-LAX and total is $533 for 2

AA is charging me $337 for 2 on the same dates but from Chicago

Thanks in advance for your help

Conversion is not possible for your NW miles. While technically possible for your CO miles, you would lose a lot of miles.

Your best bet is to use the NW miles for an award to Asia. Use partners (hotels, cars, promotions) to get your CO miles up to the 20K (with promotion)or 25K miles needed for a domestic award. Fly and accumulate miles with AA.
