As Phil would say :-
A detour is a choice between two options - each with its pros and cons.
In detour #1 you can take QF1 at 17:00 Saturday, arriving in LHR at 07:00 Sunday. After wasting the day in the lounge, you then need to take LY316 at 15:35 to Tel Aviv, arrving at 22:10 Sunday.
In detour #2 you take QF127 at 10:45 on Sunday, arriving in Hong Kong at 17:45. After spending 3 hours doing security checks, board the 20:55 LY76 which arrives in Tel Aviv at 03:45 Monday!
So I gain points/SCs and a better arrival time with option #1, or an extra night at home and shorter flights with option #2. Bizarrely, going via London is $150 cheaper, but as I'm not paying that is a moot point.
What would you do and is there an alternative?
