TPG just posts a nice chart on how many miles required to use different airline miles including KE on EK but even he didn't post the fuel surcharge among. I know it may depend on the departure city but does anyone know the ballpark like is it over $1K or few hundred dollars?

It depends entirely on the route. I redeemed KE miles for BKK-ICN-JFK in F (one-way) and paid ~$200 in taxes and fuel surcharges. It matched exactly what was on the corresponding revenue booking, with the caveat that sometimes KE uses embedded Q surcharges, so you have to read the full fare construction that ITA Matrix reports and look for any bit that reads something like "Q150.00". That means there's a $150 Q surcharge, which KE will collect on an award ticket.
I'm aware the surcharges on KE metals but not sure about using KE miles on Emriates metal and its surcharge. If anyone has redeemed for North America to DXB routes, what's the KE's surcharge charges on Emirates flight?

I don't believe Emirates flies between BKK-ICN-JFK I'm aware the surcharges on KE metals but not sure about using KE miles on Emriates metal and its surcharge. If anyone has redeemed for North America to DXB routes, what's the KE's surcharge charges on Emirates flight?

My bad. LAX-DXB in J on a random date in December has a $645 embedded Q surcharge according to ITA. I'd be surprised if KE did anything but collect YQ, YR, and Q surcharges. That's also what EK charges their own members, so it seems like that's gotta be what KE will be charging.

Any news about this? Does KE charge YQ? I am looking to redeem DXB-MRU-DXB with miles, and using EK miles it would be a stiff 1,200 usd per pax...! Would EK be any different?

it's completely up in the air. afaik they still use embedded q fuel surcharges, but they do levy yq on ek awards using qf points. as we all know as has no yq with ek, so at the end of this all i have no idea! you should call in and ask.

Does anyone know how to book one-way Emirates rewards with Korean? As per TPG's blog below- "Note that you must book round-trip travel (one-ways are only allowed on Korean metal)". What is Korean metal?
