C**p! Just booked my first First!
Still kinda excited, I must admit. I was just playing around with some ideas for an upcoming vacation, found some availability, and before I knew it, I was booked in seat 1K on a 747 to BOS 
The bad part: It's a one-way redemption, so now I got to find a cheap one way economy class ticket going back
. AB and FI seems to be the ones selling cheap one way tickets. At least AB will be in OW by then.

I had my first F flight in 10 years a couple of days ago. It's truly an amazing experience ^ Don't be too drunk when you board, the champagne in F beats the plonk served in Galleries First and possibly even CCR.

Just completed my first NF experience from LHR to LAX and back. Loved the new product and great crew so hope you have a similar experience.

That would require a seperate one-way booking from DUB to OSL, and would not be quite as cheap.

I am sorry to say I do not have anything useful for you to get a one-way flight back. However, I just wanted to say that whatever you might hear on this forum about the First, it is (generally at least) very nice. Have a great flight!
If you feel bad about buying a return and ditching one way, use the return portion for another visit to BOS, and keep repeating the process. That way, you will have more opportunities for F with the miles you collect.

Another first for me, during the same trip: I ended up booking a reward using Avios to get home from FRA to OSL, first with a stopover at LHR. I changed that, and am now flying FRA-LHR-OSL on the day after I arrive at FRA, end will get my first flight on a 767
