Duplicate booking
Currently am booked in RT Y BOS-DXB. I'd like to purchase a separate DXB-BOS in J, using Alaska miles, on the same flight as my Y DXB-BOS return. Will my award ticket be automatically cancelled? If so, can I wait until I've flown the outbound to cancel the return (with no refund expected), and then book the award?

Have you asked Emirates whether there is a way round this.
i would have thought there was no problem in having two bookings on the same flight and using the award one on the way back and being a no show on the original. I am assuming you have to return on that flight and can’t book the ward for a different flight
HOWEVER I am just applying logic not knowledge
