Likewise, I hope that you've noted that there are no F cabins to/from DEL or NRT.
Thanks, yes, most of the planning has been done using the online tool so I know that, for example I have a ~23 hour connection for that route. I don't worry much about long connections because I like running around, though I'll hate eating the cost of a bunch of HEX trips, haha.

Yeah, my offhanded comment about RJ was a bit silly. I'm still considering going through Amman depending on whether I decide to head to Sulaymaniyah.

That is an advantage of starting in Jordan. How difficult is it to make the free changes on a BA ticket, especially while travelling?
