Mixing classes
If I try to book GLA-DXB-BKK with one leg in Y and one in J, I get the following message:
and the full journey is "forced" into J.
However, if I try to book one leg in J and one in F, then no problem. Any reason for the first one not being available, and would I be able to book it by calling Emirates rather than trying to do it on-line?
Please note that your itineary (sic) has been priced on a different cabin class from the one you have requested to obtain the best fare.

Yes, it works OK with a mix of J and F.
The miles show on the booking screen as having the F Bonus miles for the full Europe West to Far East journey, although whether they would be forthcoming is another matter.

A Y+J if priced as separate tickets is going to be cheapo Y and overpriced J ex-DXB, so J all the way is cheaper. What you could possibly try is J ex GLA and Y ex DXB and see if that makes it any better!
