BKK-LHR meant that I would turn up to a central London meeting before 8am refreshed & good to go with my hand luggage in the corner which always got noticed & they would ask where I had come from.
The silence after my reply was an excellent bargaining tool as it seemed that I appeared ready not to any pull punches.
Longhaul overnight flights in club or above is the only way that I really enjoy travelling.
Yes, I haven't flown BA on that route since the withdrawal of the overnight and F.

QR, EK, LH and LX have instead enjoyed my custom.
