Looking to fly *A from Denver to Abu Dhabi

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out a way to take (and get PQM for) a *A flight from DEN to AUH in mid-April sometime. I've searched on Google Flights, but I can't seem to find anything that gets me there without flying Etihad (which doesn't earn PQM, from what I understand). Can this be done? Or am I going to have to fly into DXB instead? Or, *gasp*, do I actually fly a non-*A flight? Anyone have any recommendations here?

I looked into flights on Turkish, and other than the return flight taking a long time, I'm just not sure how I know what fare class I would get booked into, and I don't want to end up earning 75%, 50%, or even 0% of the award miles for the flights, because I will be flying Economy (I still have yet to convince my company that they should pay for me to fly in first/business yet...haha).

Thanks for the help!
Matt
