Exactly, that is why I treat the LHR-DXB-LHR leg as a bed and breakfast leg.
Goto LHR at aroung 6pm, enjoy the MB spa, then have some dinner and goto bed. skip cont breakfast. then goto lounge (the Ppass one) where they serve breakfast. then hop back on the plane, take a nap then lunch. After that jsut headed back to Westend to do my weekly shoppigng.
I personally think DXB is just boring after a few times. Even you can bored by staying in the Burj! And my mission is to reduce any unnecceary transit/hotel cost while doign these pure MRs.
