I've a couple of questions related to a next AUH/DXB-CGK run I'm finishing* planning, one about BA for the positioning flight, the other semi-OT regarding a DXB b2b.

Let's start with BA. What kind of WTP should I expect on the overnight BA106 DXB-LHR served by a 777?
There is availability to upgrade to CW on the date I need, but since I'm not avios rich I want to be sure how WTPs could be on this route before spending 20K avios. Keep in mind I never ever tried WTP before.

Now the semi-OT. Anyone here has experienced a DXB b2b on a CGK run? I really would like to book two of them and avoid an "unnecessary" night stop in AUH, and it seems that DXB permits mobile BPs and there is a transfer desk that can process CC checks and the like for UL. However, I want to play safe, so any experience and suggestion are more than welcome.

As an aside, anyone doing the run between 20th and 26th of May?


*I'll book tomorrow. Now that they have re-filed the fare the new availability is really better for me
