£520 would be an average AUP CW to F supplement IMO

If it is a daytime flight them F is a nice way to travel ( food will be better) and more space

However, the lounge in DXB is ok ( the separate F section in the DXB lounge may or may not restricy entry to F pax only)

Thanks. It is an A380.

I've been in the DXB lounge numerous times, so would not upgrade for that reason. (In my opinion there's no lounge worth an upgrade; it's all about the seat for me.) And this is the overnight flight; for me, upgrading on the overnight flight is more important than on the daytime flights. If I'm going to stay awake, the old J seats are comfortable enough for me, but if I'm going to sleep, I'd prefer to be in F.
