Return From LHR

.....On another question, are QF and SQ and CX all using lie-flat business to BNE? If not, he'll try and ticket to whoever is if it's overnight into BNE.

QF do
SQ will from the 1st April in their new A330s
CX don't on all their flights, unless they've changed since I last flew them in Dec last year

EK departs LHR at 8pm, connecting through DXB for an arriving into BNE at 6:35am. They use 77W (B777-300ER) for LHR-DXB and A340-500 for DXB-BNE, making for lie flat beds to DXB and cradles to BNE, but better than the regional 777s they used to operate to BNE via SIN.

Regardless of the airline, an evening commercial subsonic departure ex-UK will not arrive into Brisbane by the following evening. The flight will not arrive until at least the morning after that

depart monday eve - arrive wednesday morning

morning/lunchtime departures will be able to get in for the evening of the following day

Thanks all - Dave Noble has summed it up nicely there.

There's no way he'll fly Emirates (after past bitter experience by both him and mum - on separate occasions incidentally) plus he's CL with QF so that'd be preference #1 - overnight ex-SIN or HKG it'll have to be with a 2200 departure ex-LHR.
