Is there a pattern to EK F partner award space being released? I was planning on using JL miles to book EK F something like DFW-DXB-MLE-DXB-MXP-JFK or something of that sort but I am still short 15k miles for me and my wife. The trip will be in Summer '18 but I'm worried about EK F space becoming less and less available. Do the release space at set intervals, is it last minute mostly, or is it all at the start of the calendar?
