Never tried this. I am equidistant between LGW and LHR and almost always use BA for my HKG trips.

But it does seem to be quite a nice timing if I don't want to burn any of my weekend time with the family.

Anyone any insights on this flight? (good or bad).

Wierdly, I am not seeing a return leg show up (I am just querying on expedia so maybe my specific date wasn't helpful). Is it outbound only? or just not every day? Just curious.
