Re: A new travel option for UK members?
Yes Drew, when you leave Thailand in the very early hours (say 00.01- 03.00) on your way back to UK, then - unless you have some completely horrendous layover, which you clearly don't have on your 16.5 hr flight - you arrive back in the UK around lunchtime the same day.

DrewSpz, flights from BKK to LHR usually take 11.5 hours, not 16.8. Are you flying via Beijing?
Re: A new travel option for UK members?
Dubai or Doha or Abu Dhabi is my guess - 15-17 hours are normal flight durations for such flights

Living in the boonies at both ends I find MAN - HKG - CNX to be the most convenient routing. Cathay Pacific's A350-900s are preferable to the usual 777s others use and going twice through security better than three times.
