OK, just joined Alaska as a possible way to use emirates to Dubai. I've read a bunch of things about which routes afford best value but I'm more interested in flying the routes I need rather than going way out of our way to save a few bucks.
First off JFK-DBX using Alaska miles business class was 80,000 plus about $700 in fees at least in January when we'd want to go. RT for cash is only $4500 so it seems not worth it.
Looking towards Morocco and perhaps one other destination. Is it difficult to book such complex trips with award miles. To go from JFK-Casablanca on Emirates involves Dubai so a round trip doesn't seem sensible. Would it be better to just get to Casablanca then CMN-DXB(with stopover if permitted)-JFK?
I've only booked one way or straight RT award flights and they are easy. Thanks for any guidance.
