So, let's have a look at the 'awful' timings and the fact that 'no one will like them'
Beijing-Europe from 00:00-02:00
Istanbul x2
Madrid
Munich
Paris CDG
Amsterdam
Brussels
Baku
Vienna.
Hong-Kong - Europe 00:00-02:00
Paris
London
Amsterdam
Frankfurt
Rome
Manchester
Helsinki
Milan
Düsseldorf
Zurich
So, it's clear that the 0145 departure isn't quite as bad and 'out on a limb' as being made out. Or are we going to suggest that all the routes above are just purely leisure routes?
