It is 1am here and I need to let this go for now. Appreciate your input.
As to Alaska Air - they do tickets on EK - 90 or 100k for two flights in First on this trip. Really one, with stopover.
I'd be far more worried if because of the switch F may be oversold on that date so may either be denied boarding or given a downgrade. Reward seats through partners are the first on the chopping board in case of overbooking (EK never oversells F, it's just going from 14 seat to 8 seat F, and significantly less J seats means more likely the flight could become oversold altogether).
