Yes, its the far east zone! They are just over 3hours flight apart (which I'm booking as a separate ticket)

I would plan to OLCI at T-24 and BYOBP to try my best to ensure there is no adverse seat movement. It wouldn't be ideal to bump to the next day but I could potentially do it - I'd just imagine the same issues on availability on a later flight.

It's worth pointing out that I haven't told Mrs Malkie that we'll be flying CW, to (a) surprise her at check in, and (b) not get my head chewed off if my MFU plans go wrong.
