Which way round?
Hello FT
Having relied on the expertise of the FT folks to get me better seats on BA, and great lounge tips, I'm now hoping to ask you all for your advice. I have to do a trip from LHR to visit AUH and ICN. Would it be best to do LHR > AUH > ICN > LHR or LHR > ICN > AUH > LHR. Desperate to reduce jet lag as this will be a compressed trip with a day or two at most in AUH and ICN.
Cheers

Hi TSR2, and welcome to FT.

I'd do option 1 with daytime flights as well. Jetlag to AUH should be no problem, and consequently ICN should be ok by then as well. Sleep on the way home from ICN. Is this in economy or premium?

Thanks-this will be in business. I've looked at the schedules and there are two options. The first option is LHR to AUH to ICN to LHR direct (and I get my EC points but have to do 14hr flight back to LHR), the second option is the same out to LHR but on the way home connect back in AUH, using Etihad.
