I'm a little "disappointed" by the prices, for something inflexible I had expected a lower amount, especially comparing what I paid early this year for a changeable ticket.
But maybe now there is a lot more traffic AUH to CGK in J than last year...

Still, the TP/Cash ratio is good enough to book a couple of runs. I don't know with an inflexible ticket if I would go for a B2B...

I am not risking it. 24hrs to enjoy the sights of CGK will do nicely.

Definitely abit underwhelming.

Booked 2 X DBX - CGK in June 2020. Rather pay abit more flat bed on one leg at least.
My Curve card seems to have applied a weekend exchange rate, i.e 1.5% over, taking the cost to £619. Still not bad I guess

Wonder if I had waited a few months, there would be better prices but oh well. Now it gets even more annoying that I cant get the best BA PE fares to AUH, they run as far as May, so probably just wait for that on new years sale perhaps.

Oh, no, I meant B2B at AUH, never at CGK!

I'd been told by a friend within UL, that the fare would be circa 2,219 AED, but it seems to have been filled at a slightly higher price.

At the risk of alienating all other programs, paying circa £1 per TP for BAEC is excellent value, and the fact it can be done midweek (with no Saturday night stay) makes it very appealing.

There is a MH flight to KUL, departing 2h10min after UL's arrival to CGK. It's possible to do OLCI with MH 48h before departure, so it works fine, provided you make a printout of the BP, either before you start the UL departure from AUH/DXB, or ask the lounge agent at CMB to help. Mobile BPs are not good enough for many officials here.

Just booked my flights for this fare. I'm actually planning on seeing Indonesia and Abu Dhabi (having been to neither before) so I have more time in both cities than some of of you have! There's amazing W fares to AUH on BA (starting at INV and ending at LHR for 325(!) with Best Price Guarantee!) - with upgrades to J using Avios quite open!

If someone could add these to the wiki that would be much appreciated
04/05 INV-LHR
04/05 LHR-AUH
05/05 AUH-CMB
06/05 CMB-CGK
12/05 CGK-CMB
12/05 CMB-AUH
14/05 AUH-LHR

Apperently now their booking engine is down...

excellent! I'm really pleased at last someone is showing interest in the possibilities this fare offers apart from harvesting Tier Points.

Abu Dhabi and Dubai are interesting places to experience - well, for a couple of days. And although Jakarta doesn't get a very good press​​​​​, it's a fascinating city, getting easier to explore as the transport infrastructure develops.

I spend a lot of time there, so i'm kind of biassed...


but CGK opens up an enormous nation of islands, cities, volcanoes, beaches, nine world heritage sites, and dragons.
So it's sort of sad to see in the wiki that someone is giving up significant amounts of cash and time to pass four times through CGK over a couple of weeks without seeing anything of all that. Fair enough though, each to his own.

You mean INV-LHR-AUH-LHR? Not seeing it.

msm2000uk

INV-LHR-AUH-LHR should come up around £400 in February next year.

Yup! Plus when you look on Skyscanner, you see prices around £360 so when you double difference, comes to around £315-320 😁 (see the screenshot below for details - tip found on TLFL btw to give credit)

Added for you!

Thanks for the credit

FYI BA paid up my price promise today making my AUH flights £308

I think you over-egged that one . But it's still a good fare compared to others on the route.

And although it figured in the promotional nonsense, the stonkingly good UL fares FROM Jakarta haven't returned.

CGK LHR is £2100+ on SriLankan, but Oman offers a great fare of £1300-£1600
