LAX-DXB-MXP-DXB-LAX Route Questions
Hello, if I were to do the following routes using JAL miles:
LAX-DXB-MXP-DXB-LAX - will I still be charged for 100k miles for EK flights or what's the way to get this type of route to that 100k miles instead of paying more than that?
Moreover, is it possible if we want to add another leg from MXP to another European destination at all?

JAL's award chart is distance based. So there are no tricks or routings that can be used for a region based system. Your requested itinerary is 22,600 miles which prices out at 200k JAL miles. Also, JAL awards cannot mix partners so there no further routes you can add from Milan to other places in Europe since they would have to be on EK flights.
This is JAL's partner award chart. There is also a mileage calculator to calculate the distance of your itinerary.
