Back to back redeyes and an arrival in Europe at 7 am, to be spent dragging yourself around all day like a zombie, just so you can fly with your friend and avoid spending money on dinner in the CLT terminal?

Personally? If it was me? "Sorry, buddy, for your FREE BUSINESS CLASS TRIP TO EUROPE FOR GOLFING you're going to have to connect from LAX and meet me in Charlotte. I'll be coming in from Pittsburgh. Mind buying me dinner? The on board dinner on those transatlantic flights isn't great; I recommend we skip it and get something in the terminal."

I would jump so hard at that if I was your friend it's not even funny.
