Thanks in advance!
Emirates partner awards cannot be mixed with any other airline besides JAL.
Furthermore, The distance of a surface sector between two intermediate cities will be included in the total itinerary distance.
So, even if you could book ZRH-DXB-HKG on EK (any cabin), expect to pay for the HKG-MCT mileage sector too! (rule here).
If you were to abandon EK and focus on Oneworld partners, then the rule on allowed maximum distance of the surface sector applies, further invalidating your itinerary (rule here)
