I would certainly go for Option 2 - some mild CCR abuse followed by maximising 'First' experience on board. Plus it isn't difficult getting an FOC early checkin (esp if you have hotel status), couple of hours' kip to readjust then some of the good restaurants in Dubai offer killer lunch deals; we did Pierre Gagnaire at the IC for about £25 ea (IIRC) last time.

One small note: last did this in F late last year with Mrs Eyeswater; no cooked breakfast available.
And this was an 'enhancement', not that it hadn't been loaded. I think the last time we took a night flight to India in F the cooked breakfast had also been enhanced away.

Can anyone confirm if it's reappeared?
