Having internal conflict, need help from masses.
MEL-AUH-IAD // DCA-JFK on EY F A380 then EY F 787 where connections are great, allows me to leave MEL on on Saturday night and be home on Sunday night, but requires I switch airports from IAD to DCA (perhaps EY would drive me?)
or
MEL-AUH-JFK on A380x2 but connection is terrible. I'd arrive AUH at 06:35 and would depart 21 hours later at 03:25, only arriving in JFK at 910am on Monday.
What would you do?
