Cool. i had luck pricing two scary long flights. Everything connecting in DXB, the following priced at $2900 with about 35000 elite miles.

Sea -> BLR

BLR -> JNB

JNB -> AKL

AKL -> SEA

Dates seem not to be a problem as long as your first flight out of SEA is on May 13 or 12.

The other one isn't as ambitious but still

SEA -> JNB

JNB -> BLR

BLR -> SEA

In this one the order of JNB and BLR are interchangeable. Also JNB can be replaced with AKL, again on May 13. This was pricing at $2100.

Choose option flex fares and multi city on emirates.com

Also Dublin is an option. I was curious because of an upcoming trip and that too priced very nicely.

Can you earn miles in both Skyward and Mileage Plan account?

If I supply only Skyward account number during reservation, can I still earn double miles with Alaska Mileage Plan account?

I have a trip to India on Emirates business class coming up in September. I wonder how many miles will that be from LAX-DXB, DXB-BOM.

Based on the great circle map mileage. If you credit businesss class to Alaska for redeemable miles its 9537 + 9537 (double miles bonus) + 2384 (25% Class of service bonus) = 21,458

This link seems to (now?) require a registration code. Does anyone have one to share?

The Double Miles Offer page on the AS website has the Emirates offer currently posted for people to register for the promotion.

The promotion code is embedded in the link, no need to add anything.
