And in fairness trying to get back to the UK is an utter waste of time at the moment, every station is full all the time, while 24 hours at home is a shame to lose, you might have a chance to get home on days off (whatever they may be) or your 4 days of 'leave' now!
Have you tried any other options?

Remember to LHR we have Qantas (we get J class and the MEL flight is normally lighter than SYD), BA, Virgin and Royal Brunei. All of which we get staff travel with.

Connections at AMS are really easy with KLM offering connections to most UK airports.

I have never not managed to get back home when I have needed to. Granted it can be more of a challenge with a family but EK seem to fill up first before the others. Just depends how 'creative' you wish to be with your travel planning and no - home is not in the South East before you ask!
