Anything to make the journey shorter would be fantastic!

Crazy! It'd go more like, fly out Thursday night, arrive Sat morning. Go to hotel and collapse for most of the day. Get up in the evening and grab something at the nearest eatery (most likely the hotel restaurant), spend the entire night awake because of jet lag and then crawl to the airport on Sunday afternoon before sleeping the entire way back to London.

You could only do this in First or J though, the thought of doing it in Y.......

Yes, but we all know that you actually are crazy
