Not being shy at all

We decided to fly Qantas LHR-DXB rather than BA (with its hefty fuel surcharges)
And Qantas flies overnight - so we save on a London Hotel bill too
It will actually be a bit over 12hrs in London - so plenty of time to catch up with my sister and brother-in-law (they're both retired and so can get cheap train tickets down to London from 'Up North')
