£1099 ret to Muscat in CW.
£114 to Nuremburg in CE (very limited).
BOS or JFK, ORD in F for £1800.
OSL - JFK is still available for under £500 in WTP.
£180 to Malaga in CE. (2015 was the last time I saw something similar in that flash sale in CE for £150 for ex-LGW, I'm sure many will remember!)
Just a few that seem decent enough..they maybe many more depending your wish list or hit list.

I like the sound of Catania in June too - for the TPs and the price!

Some great bargains LHR- CPT in CW & F, with up to £1,200 Avios discount, for Feb/ March. Very unusual to see them so close to departure, obviously not selling as well as in previous years

I don't think the Southern Railway strikes helped them much either. Lots of Scottish commuters I know were avoiding LGW due to the unreliable rail connections.Pleased Muscat is LHR. That's been on my to-do list for a while and I always thought it was a LGW route.

So ... why did you book DXB?!
AUH will be a 787, if they ever get fixed. Travel time from AUH to Jumeirah Beach hotels is almost exactly 1 hour and £40 in a taxi, so only about 30 mins more than flying to DXB. Immigration is also quicker in AUH in my experience so the net time is probably very similar. Assuming you've got 2 kids that would be £800 saved.

We did the AUH option last October and it was ok but we didn’t get to the hotel until midnight and ultimately lost a day of the school holidays travelling.

I thought it was because LGW is pretty grim I don't think the Southern Railway strikes helped them much either. Lots of Scottish commuters I know were avoiding LGW due to the unreliable rail connections.

Muscat in F is £1,593. Its a 787 too, unless this is affected by the engine issues and ends up as 777. Still it's First and great price.
