Who are the British & Irish Lions flying with today to Hong Kong?
Are they with Ba? Presumably the backs will squeeze into CW where 6'1" is sufficient for their little bodies and their nimbleness will allow for stepping over people whilst the forwards will get First so they don't need to curl up too much in bed.

Or they could just go CX/VS so that everyone gets decent space

QF no longer fly LON - HKG, so either it's a charter or they will be forced through DXB and then onto EK to HKG?

And BA departure times. So the evidence for BA flights is building up!

They're in the Grand Hyatt in HK by the way (well at least that's where their paid accommodation is)
