But these ~15.5 hours give you plenty of time to do both. I'd go for the midnight departure flight.
Do they not
always shut the blinds? Last time I took CX885 (dep 11:25) they sure did
Well, if I were to take the morning daytime departure I sure would hate it if the cabin crew asked all of the F pax to shut their blinds. I resent that - why not simply announce that the amenity kit contains an eye mask, and for those at the windows, they can always lower their blinds. I simply cannot stand it when during a daytime flight in J or F they 'force' the entire cabin to sit there as if in a bat cave! The other cynical reason is that the crew wants to lull folks into sleeping in order to lessen their workload. Again, what good is giving out eye masks?
