Hello, just seeking advice for first time long haul return back to SYD - either a morning or evening arrival
We will be departing from London (LHR) after EU holiday & will have spent 6 days in LHR prior to going home.
We are looking at two options with preferred EK:
Depart LHR 1415
Arrive SYD 2205
Pros: LHR - Check out of hotel & go directly to airport. SYD - Arrive late night & can go to bed (as best as possible due to jetlag)
Cons: Final day in LHR wont offer any extra time to get out & about if needed
Depart LHR 2215
Arrive SYD 0605
Pros: LHR - Get a few extra hours in London if needed
Cons: LHR - may be 'kill time' waiting for flight after hotel checkout & need a hotel that can keep our bags. SYD - have to say awake all day fighting jetlag
I appreciate everyone is different but not sure how some first timers found either option (ie morning/night arrival into SYD) & what works best for you now? I know in flight sleep (how much/lack of) would be a factor. We are leaning towards bus class but that wont necessarily guarantee a good sleep (but will be a good start).
Many thanks !
