First world problem. What do our fellow AFF think - EY F A380 all the way from MEL - JFK or break this up between EY and EK. Have flown EK F a few times and enjoyed every moment of it.
The first option is to fly EY F A380 MEL - AUH, 2 nights layover, EK F A380 DXB - JFK. This will satisfy my hunger in experiencing the Apartment and DXB F Lounge.
The second option is to fly EK F A380 MEL-SIN-DXB, 2 nights layover followed by EY F A380 AUH - JFK. This will allow me to sample QF F lounge and AUH J/F lounge. Presumably SYD F is better than MEL F and would imagine the F AUH lounge would be open by then (Nov-16) [one can only hope given then push back it has].
The third option is to fly EY F A380 all the way from MEL - JFK.
Have made the booking to option 1 but the concern I have is that EY may not operate the A380 out of MEL (worst case scenario) and have more faith that they will continue to operate AUH - JFK given the traffic and newly opened EY lounge in JFK.
What do you fellow AFF think? Have heard a lot on the EY Apartment but not so much of DXB F lounge, AUH lounge and QF F MEL lounge. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
