I know a BA guy on 777. He lives near Milton and commutes to London.
I am based in EDDF. My ex-wife took the 2 kids and moved to Peterborough. I want to spend time with my kids so I spend half my off work days there. The commute was a lot easier when I was on the 744. It's more stressful now on the A320 fleet flying short-haul. Fortunately, there are 3-4 flights a day. If the flights are really full, I will fly with AF or KLM.
