I figured I wouldn't get the miles for IAD-DXB-KHI since the miles are only given once you complete the trip. However, to my surprise, miles for IAD-DXB posted a little while later despite me skipping a part of the ticket.
It seems that EK is now automatically crediting miles if the final leg goes to waste, unused. It used to be that you had to call them and ask for manual crediting; not anymore.
