Did BRS-BRU-LHR-BKK-NRT-SYD-MEL to get to a wedding once on miles. Took 3 days but when I finally got there no jet lag. Bonus!
Used to do BRS-DUB-LHR on EI a few times to connect to longhaul evening LHR flights as it was cheaper and sometimes quicker than the national express bus back in early 2000s.
