Which leads to my next question. Aren't you flying on a CX/UA RTW? If so, why not just fly HKG-LHR direct with CX. Not only do you get better service but avoid the layover at such an ungodly hour in DEL (or is the answer somewhere in another trip report)? Nothing kills a good sleep like stopping over for three hours in the middle of the night.
I had wanted to fly the CX flight from HKG to LHR. But unfortunately, that day I wanted to fly, F was booked out in full, and so was the day before and day after. But 23:55 and 00:55 flights were all full. And of course, I'm a United supporter, so my miles would naturally go with United.
