***We'll take this opportunity to go ahead and close this thread and restart discussion for 2016 (post-devaluation) in a new thread.***

Please find the continuation of this thread here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/alask...6-edition.html

As well, just a quick heads up--we've moved all of the meta-discussion about the new Emirates award prices themselves to this thread:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/alask...no-notice.html

Please consolidate all discussion about the new award rates there.

The other thread linked above can continue to be used for discussion about award availability, booking procedures, and routing rules for Emirates award on AS.
