I thank you all for your advice and insight but I realize that there is one issue that I failed to address as this would be the first time that I would be going to the East not on LY
I would prefer for obvious reasons not to fly with a carrier that flies over certain mid east countries in the remote chance of unscheduled landings
I am not sure if any of the OW carriers live up to this but maybe BA goes to the East over the Northern route and not Eastward ( I really have no idea) and this could definately be a deciding factor in choice of carrrier even if I have to add a long Westward flight to get to the East

The chance of an unscheduled landing is very, very remote and even if it was required often the plane will turn back to a airport and not just jump down to a local trouble spot.
