I'm also deciding between flying First from Cape Town to Auckland through Dubai. On one day the Cape Town to Dubai flight doesn't offer First, but Dubai to Auckland is First. If I were to fly out a day later, both journeys have First available for the same price as if I were to go Business then First for the day before. I'm wondering if I should do Business then First so I can compare the two seats (never flown premium cabins in EK) or leave a day later and fly both on First. Any thoughts please?
