First checked availability on Emirates Skywards program as a guideline, and about 12 hours later received an e-mail with the new itinerary. The week before the agent tried to charge more than 300,000 miles per ticket instead of 120,000.

For seat selection tips see the Emirates board. It looks like seatexpert.com may be more reliable than seatguru.com. Window and the two center seats have more pitch and seat length. It should be fun.

I have seen the A380 in Singapore. It will be nice to experience it.
How did you get them to ticket this at 120k? I've had agents insist that I can't use EK for US to Asia via DXB, at least not on a single award ticket. I'd love to try this next time I go to SE Asia on miles.
