It's a long stop over in Dubai, but it's suits me fine with leaving Bangkok at 20:30 so no rush in the morning to get to the hotel, the last time we came back from Bangkok, we had to be up at 2am for the 8am flight, i know that you can't really sleep in airports, or on the plane, but the last time I travelled on that route, it was a long journey getting into Manchester at 8pm at night and the 2.5 hrs drive home . Got home gone midnight.

I imagine since it's 30kg per person, then we should be able to select our seats on the plane. Will have to ask about that .

​​​​​​Still debating on how long we are going for, hence the reason for not booking yet.
