i echo your sentiments exactly
though i've been a pax driver all along, we previously had enough of the layover thing to max out the credit card. but life changes and i don't look forward to the long stays away, this coinciding with my return to the long haul.
is there anyone out there who has been doing asia/ europe/usa (or vice versa but not quite - you know what i mean) and back with just one night at each station. might it be better to return inside of one week and get more time at home? our conventional thinking ('traditional' FDTL) does not support this, so far such trips have taken 8 to 14 days.
some tech background on the origin of the 2 night layover after longhaul and 2 nights similarly after further timezone changes might be in order.......anyone know?
