- QR mid day, about $280 in Y, $750US in F -not pref as it arrives late to BEY


Which one would you take? and why?
Does anyone know if the chauffeur drive from DXB to SHJ is realistic (given my flight lands at 5:40AM) to catch Air Arabia's?

I read somewhere, that you could upgrade onboard Jazeera for cheap, has ayone tried it recently?

EK has a promotion now, 7000 miles plus about 3300AED for a return in J; do you think this is worth it- given I won't be needing the return leg which expires in 1 month?

I am open to suggestions! Thanks in advance

BTW, I considered flying to MCT (from which ow in J to BEY on EK is $800US) but getting to MCT is a tricky business. Also I have no issues hopping to KHI or thereabouts as long as the whole trip costs LESS than some of the options, and get to arrive to BEY on the same afternoon.
