Don’t convert until you have a specific redemption in mind. Protects you against devaluations. But if you’re asking which programs are best transfer partners, check BA, Aeroplan, and Singapore, depending on your vacation goals, of course

I converted a lot of Avios, since they have really great redemptions on short haul flights. It helped a lot for various hops around Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam.

Hi folks,
Quite new to this. I’ll be moving to Dubai in a month and I got to know that my education documents need to be attested before the company can apply for visa.

Do I need to have MOFA Attestation in addition to the UAE Embassy Attestation from home country or will that be managed by the company in UAE itself?
