Emerates Flights With AAdvantage Miles
This may be a silly question, but please bear with me!!
I'm looking for a way to redeem AAdvantage Miles for a flight (preferably first class) on Emirates.
I know AA and Emerates aren't partners (Yet- recent discussion, merging, and hubs with Quantas and US Airways are starting to look promising! See here: http://upgrd.com/aerospace/emirates-...a-shakeup.html ), but AA and Emerates do both partner with Alaska Airlines, JetBlue, and Quantas - Is there a way to transfer miles (withot loosing any) in order to redeem AAdvantage miles on an Emerates flight?
Does anyone have insight on this?
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Jess. Just to clarify [OCD hat on] it's Emirates and Qantas (there's no U in QANTAS). [OCD hat off]
I think the proposition is far from reality, maybe perhaps closer to imagination and pure speculation. EK is NOT getting in bed with AA especially when EK's main 'rivals' are: EY is already a partner, and QR will soon be part of OW.
So yeah. Your best bet is EY as it has a comparable F product to EK and even beats it in terms of catering and seat comfort from my experience.
