Not bad. Many European cities, Milan and others at similar prices. CMN too. Too bad there isn’t any way to connect in F out of AUH

I had been looking at RT itineraries (i.e. NRT - AUH - LHR - DUB; DUB - LHR - AUH - NRT) in September and October in ITA Matrix (f bc=A), and see lots of RT choices in the USD 5,369 - $5,566 range (variable due to length of stays at each stop).

Agreed, the one-ways NRT - DUB (via AUH and LHR) look to be ~USD 3,200.

There's every chance that aircraft will be swapped around extensively on EY, as the ME3 deal with a total collapse in tourism and significant reduction in demand for transit flights for the foreseeable future.
If you choose to book, be mentally prepared for a downgrade if EY choose not to proceed with the A380 upgauge for NRT, particularly given that EY may try to get away with only refunding a small fare difference.
