Now I am assuming I can add the infant by paying 10% of the full fare of the class. Please correct me if I am wrong?
Second, coming into DXB from origin, we wanted 3-4 days stopover, instead, we are just getting overnight stay, how often do the EK space open up close to the departure? I am talking about the first week of Jan, 2016 and also are there any additional fees we will be paying when and if the space opens up (that includes additional fare for infant to EK )?
Edit to add: Just called EK local office here in NY and I was told only Alaska Airlines can issues an infant ticket. Can someone clarify the rules regarding infant tickets for alaska airline? I always called the booking airline (AA, United etc) to add infant no matter who is the carrier.
Ive always been told have to go to emirates. It will be 10% regardless of who in the end does the ticketing.
I did find this older thread that says that what AS reservations said. Must call EK

I know there is another thread somewhere where another person was able to via EK's reservations call center
