Is there still the option for LH commuters to do back to back trips to allow for more days off in a row and if so is that something that can be bid for or has to be engineered with swaps?
Also intrigued that LOS is so unpopular. No jetlag is a rare treat in the LH world. What are the equivalent destinations that one would end up on at the junior end of the 787 fleet?
1. Yes exactly
2. Yes you can engineer back to back flights in normal bidding and with swaps. Commuters commonly do this. Lagos is a favorite as the small time change means you can fly again the following day.
3. Lagos comes with a night flight home (so no jetlag but it's a long night of work). It's also relatively low "credit" meaning you need more of them to get in your month's work.
4. Not 787 so not quite sure, but I'm guessing BWI IAH YUL EWR PIT TLV fall down towards the bottom of the pile
