Do you really think I should change to the night before? Are swaps that common on CX387? The timing is lovely *if* F stays. I'm not thrilled about trying EK's business class product...haven't tried before, and would rather fly CX if that's the case.
From my experience of this flight (twice this year) no in town check in possible. Chauffeur drive pick up is 2h before flight (you must call to book this only in F)

Generally you arrive just as little train starts or it’s the long walk usually.
I’ve not had it swapped to a 2 class before except on time during the Christmas peak.

My choice would still be the 0035(ish) direct DXB with A380 where showers and bar are available on the plane.
