You would be wise to check this plan carefully before you commit yourself to anything. A one-way Saver *A ticket IAD-ATH using UA miles will cost you half the miles of a RT (plus some fees), but a one-way cash ticket for the return may cost far more than a RT cash ticket. It seems to me improbable that Emirates is able to sell an ATH-DXB-IAD ticket but not an IAD-DXB-ATH ticket.
