Partner Award Rules - Emirates
I am interested in using korean miles for partner award redemption on Emirates for AKL-IAD. I have read that Korean requires a roundtrip ticket in order to book partner awards, is this correct? My preference would be to do a one way partner award ticket, but not sure if that is possible.
Also, if a round trip award is required, does anyone know what their open jaw rules are? Would I be able to do something such as IAD-DPN-AKL-IAD?
Thanks!

The question though is, how much YQ KE charges for EK flights.
I'm not sure about this myself, so you may want to check this first, as it might be a big amount.
Also, which airport is DPN?

Booked biz on EK for DXB-LAX with KE miles - as there were only full fare biz available @ $8200 USD 
The miles required were 140,000 mi round trip which I thought it wasn't too bad. The tax and other fees came up to be 890 USD which I thought was crazy but hey - for $8200 ticket, why not.
Probably would not spend miles on EK though for any other trips that has discounted fares available or first class products.

Still not a bad deal considering the price of the revenue ticket they were selling!
