What I wanted to share for those of you looking to book this is: I positioned using BA LHR-AUH - in WTP. Booked with BA £612 but price match with one of the sites off SkyScanner (£564) so get £100 voucher back as an exec member. I make that £1003 for 740tp so £1.35/tp.

Quick question to anyone who did this holding a UK passport: did you need a transit visa of any kind for CMB?

All the best!
Happy NY folks!

I'm pretty much doing the same route! LHR-AUH in WTP (then Dammam, KSA for a work trip). Return DMM-AUH then doing a TP run AUH-CMB-CGK with a 1 night stop over.

For Indonesia, you'll just ride on a Visa Free short visit if your stay is for 30 days max once immigration stamp your book. No sure about transit via CMB, as you're connecting then don't think there's any requirement. Someone else will confirm or put me right...

When you heading out there?
