Routing Help

Need to travel to ARN and DXB on the same trip for business. Originating in NYC so happy to depart from JFK or EWR. I'm looking for the best routing which gets me the best business flights with the least amount of time on the *A.

Can't figure out which city to begin my trip with and which *A airline to fly to maximize my business class experience. Thanks in advance for the help.

Sorry i am not following what you have posted. You want to minimize your time on *A? But want to continue flying *A in business?

Sorry, allow me to clarify, I would like to maximize my time on *A carrier in lieu of UA as they offer a better international business product.

All flights within *A to earn awards.

Since you are looking to avoid UA and fly on a different *A carrier, this thread might be better suited to the *A forum.
