or change it to

13.50 AUH to LHR on 77W (first).

The advantage of the 13.50 77W flight in this case is it is a day and half earlier flight home, and the departure time is nicer.

I'm not in any huge rush to return to London on this particular trip. In fact, this flight is primarily to enjoy the whole First experience.

Will anything be open in the airport at AUH for a 02.55 flight to make use of? (lounge, spa) Is it best to forgoe this stuff for the Apartment experience on the A380?

I doubt I'll be making another First trip soon so I'm torn between what to do.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
