To give time in AUH.

The issue is that the Ticket 2 originating in CGK is 4 times the price of Ticket 1 originating in AUH.
I'm looking into this also. I've done B2B at CGK, the method is to ask politely the flight attendant mid flight to contact ground staff prior to landing and inform them you have a booking for the return flight and you want to get back on the plane.
Someone will then meet you on the ground, put you through a side door straight into the departure gate and go and print your paper boarding pass.

I've done this twice.

I can't now find a cheap return to AUH to nest but what I have found is the ability to to CGK-CMB-CGK for around GBP650 with 12 hours in CMB which means you can tag an additional 280TP's on for £650 in the same time period. It's a pretty intense 48 hour trip but 840TP's for around £1200 which is decent enough. It's about as efficient as you can get time wise for a reasonable price.
