Overnight in my UK home. Then Sunday morning my usual DL 65 MAN-ATL then to MCI. Zero vacation days (I can take a Friday flight leaving lunchtime without vacation penalty). Or to make less brutal stay in UK Sunday and take DL65 back Monday and use 1 vacation day.
I think you missed something . . . .

It's IAH/AMS/Cape Town! After you get off in AMS, you still have abour 15 hours of flying to do on a B777!
