Had posted this question earlier on another thread but I guess didn't get enough attention, so starting a separate thread for it. Would really appreciate any input -

Has anyone used their OnePass miles to book reward travel on Emirates FC? Specifically looking for sfo-dxb-bom return ticket. The Continental rewards chart does mention 180K miles for a FC ticket on a non-CO flight (series 10), but the CO customer rep told me that FC on Emirates is not allowed. If that is true, it would be a real bummer for me. Earlier this year I was able to book it using my United miles for the same route (and you wouldn't believe the no. of miles that were needed most likely due to a mistake on United's part) and after traveling in the EK FC suite even business class seems a big downgrade (this is from someone who has almost exclusively traveled in economy till now).

Anyway, now I have collected enough miles on Continental with the hope that I'll be able to use them for the EK FC. If this doesn't work out I'll be very disappointed.
