Flying to Israel (party of 5) with United Airlines shortly. Where should I credit miles to and why there? It is my understanding that if I put it towards Star Alliance I cannot transfer later to a specific airline. Is there a thread where this is discussed? Help is much appreciated. I spent countless hours reading DD Forums before daring to post anything, but having difficulty grasping how the "search" works.
Some additional info, the miles will most likely be redeemed towards future travel to/from Israel, probably by my son (bochur), and since he would be traveling alone I would prefer a stop in a safe(r?) country such as Switzerland, England, etc. not Turkey or the likes. Also, since United is not our airline of choice (big surprise) I would like to post miles somewhere else.
Thanks everyone so much.
