EK: JFK-PEK $704 ai via DXB

Emirates is offering flights from JFK-PEK via DXB for $704 ai. Sample dates 3/29 returning on 4/4. Around 20,000 miles so around 3.5 cpm. Not sure which program you would credit it to though.

No, it doesn't appear that AS and EK are codesharing.

Yes, but as long as you use this promo you'll get double the base, 2x50%=100% of course. Bonus miles don't count for elite status though, just the 50% on the flight miles.

the first 50% still count for elite, no?

Mileage Earned:
Beginning March 1, 2012 Minimum 500 miles or; 50% of actual flight miles for Discount Economy (M, B, U, K, Q, L, T, V, X, H classes of service); 100% of actual flight miles for Full Fare Economy (Y, E, R, W classes of service) ; 125% of actual flight miles for Business Class (C, J, I classes of service) and 150% actual flight miles for First Class (F, A, P classes of service)

To qualify for mileage accrual, flights must must be marketed and operated by Emirates.

To ensure flight credit, the two letter airline code (EK) must precede the flight number (for example, EK XXXX) on your ticket receipt or boarding pass.

Elite qualifying flight miles: Yes

I was looking at this last night just as a vacation but it seems there is no way to do a SO in Dubai. It doubled the price. If anyone knows how to force the SO for the same price it would be appreciated.

FYI, they almost always have a rate under $850 through Dubai.

So no credit for O (the discounted biz class fare?)

It seems all Y class fares are covered though, even the cheapies.
