Great news for trips to Europe ex BNE - as long as they maintain decent award availability in J!

Arriving in AUH 0600 is ideal for daytime European connecting flights eg EY19 AUH/LHR 0815/1305 so once you're through customs & get to your hotel you'll be able to checkin straight away, maybe have a walk or do some exercise then have dinner & go to bed.

Excellent for us as we fly to Scotland every year. Good news more competition.
