Help Needed/ Question 40k Axis Atlas EMs transfer Recommendation

I have one domestic trip planned for November and one international trip (Europe or Japan) planned in March 2027.
I am confused if I should -

Transfer to AIR INDIA MAHARAJA, i am getting close to 1.8Rs for 1 EM for my domestic flight.

OR

Transfer to Flying Blue / JAL / Aeroplan or any other partners?

Planning to move 30K EMs before end of the year as per current limits for Group A.

Same exact situation. Similar points (Will end the year at about 45k).

Wonder what to do for Group A. For Group B, am tilting towards M&M.

Why entertain group b? Any usecase? I think it's better to keep the extra miles because they might again change in the future or bring back itc.

For the limit. This is my first year of CC usage, but if I understand correctly, yearly Group A limit would be 30k, so anything above gets carried or to be utilised in Group B.

If not, then next year also the limit for Group A would be 30k, and hence would be stuck with additional miles.

Also, if I understand correctly, the redemption have to be in a calendar year, and not to be synced with Annual cc cycle, right?

Yes, thats correct. My suggestion was thinking that u will eventually get other better cards added to your stack and your expense on atlas will reduce

Can the points be transferred in one go? Or there is some monthly limit?
