Oneworld: UL: DXB-CGK in J, $800 R/T
UL seem to be having a J class sale - DXB-CMB-CGK r/t for around $800 in J - books into 'I' Class.
With BA that 560TPs return, and 8234 Miles.
Combination of A333/A332 and A321 depending on the days you choose. Can only book direct with UL for this price.
However, there are 2 flights a day from DXB on UL, and you want to choose wisely:
UL use an A333/A332 between DXB/CMB on the night departure at 2250 hours. And on a Sundays, UL fly an A332 between CMB-CGK (and back), so you can in theory go in comfort the whole way. On any other day, it's an A321 between CMB-CGK.

It's a great fare. I booked it in reverse a few months ago for a similar price, but then the CGK-CMB flights were all 332's. Bit of a downgrade to 321's.

Don't fret. Similar fare is normally available (from CGK to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Kuwait and Muscat); and not exactly rare in the other direction. But be careful if TP hunting, Muscat Colombo is just under the magic mileage number.

Too bad is not the other way around... I already purchased the CGK-DXB with a two day stopover in CMB a couple months ago for 450... Problem is that you never know if one should wait for a better deal. Still ok for the price paid though...
BTW, do you know which lounge UL used in CGK? The oneworld website does not indicate it last time I checked. Is the lounge there good ?

While searching for the cancellation conditions of my trip to DXB from CGK in December, I noticed an equipment swap from a 332 to a 321 on the CGK-CMB leg and from their new 333 to a 332 on the CMB-DXB leg. No notifications whatsoever... 👎

OK, flat beds are nice - and some like the isolation of single seats: but really not worth getting upset about.

Indeed no big deal. I just wanted to try their new business class seat on their 330-300. Never flew UL before...

From memory it was the Pura Indah First And Business Class Lounge (First Class section), which wasn't too bad, but IMO, no lounge at CGK is "good".
