Very handy if you land after a couple of other flights. Also if it helps, it's been more like 3hrs when I've done it. So some window watching, a film, a snack, and hey presto, you're landing already.
Thanks for this ^

A RAK trip is on my radar - and your info here is all new to me. But then again, I haven't been there before (only Casablanca many years ago). Your strategy sounds appealing if it really works as well as you describe. I generally prefer additional leg-room of ET exit row anyway and with status perks just don't see (hard cash) CE as providing real value on these sort of sectors.
