All this from ft101 , and as I mentioned, thijsseh is the pro. Remember to get Business Flex at a minimum (this will be about 30% more expensive in $ but not a big deal). Also, consider other routes--maybe BRU and snag the Game Changer F which I like a lot (especially since there are only 6 pax) (notwithstanding some of the roasting it's getting in another thread). To your other point, Etihad F on the 380 is fantastic too (you could actually fly from CGK to CDG via AUH and on the AUH-CDG leg upgrade to F--maybe one direction EK and the other EY).
