Looking to book Perth - NYC, with one way in J and 1 way in F, which way in F?

Should I maximize time in Dubai to enjoy the hospitality?

The F lounge in Dubai is excellent. What are the flight times eg overnight and length and is it an A380?

Have done a number of Australia- USA flights on EK F, if there's a delay of 7-10 hrs ( we like 380's although in F there's little difference but a great one in J), we usually book a room at the Dubai Airport hotel ( above the lounges) , then go to the F lounge for dinner when we arrive and breakfast before leaving. Very comfortable way to travel.

I'd book the return in F and maybe stay one or two nights in Dubai if can spare the time.

Looking outbound Dec 16 and inbound Jan 17

First pass was around 7/12 6am depart Perth on a A380 connection time of 2hr on another A380 to JFK

Returning 19/1 10pm out of JFK on a A380 and ~12 connection 10:45am back to Perth on another A380

Thinking J to JFK and F back to Perth

Happy to spend time in Dubai, how long would you recommend?
