So, difference is:

Either fly back to MUC or FRA or ZRH or LHR, so you have various flight times.
Now comes the hard question: At FRA for 10pm departure for TLV, because of weather, all take offs are queued and FRA is closing. Each captain is asking for special take off permit. Waiting on tarmac. Arrive in TLV between 4 and 5 am, in hotel between 6 and 7am, shower, change, get to the meeting.

You feel great after Non stop you in NEK
