OK, what I meant was that I hate splitting the long haul part in the middle.
Obviously I can't get to Thailand where I have relatives directly from NCL so would much rather (ie 100%) do a short hop to AMS/CDG or train the LHR and then have 1 long flight.
There is nothing worse than having your food, some wine and a movie and when you are ready to have a good sleep you get chucked off the plane and have to hang around an airport for several hours.
The last and only time I did that I was like a zombie when I got on the 2nd plane from Dubai to Bangkok and so tired I didn't have any food or drink at all, all I wanted was to sleep.
The jet lag after that was awful and that is something that doesn't affect me at all with one continuous flight of 10-12 hours.
