I must admit when we did the first Newcastle - Dubai- Adelaide flight it seemed a breeze looking at only a couple of hours stopover etc
having done it 3 or 4 times we decided it wasn't for us as we barely y had time to go to the loo between flights People said to stop over which we looked at but the flight times out of Dubai were not good ie in the middle of the night so we would have been up at all hours to catch flights
last time time we flew to Heathrow late night flight out with Singapore airlines ,few days in Singapore then on to Adelaide all with good flight times etc Bonus was Heathrow to Singapore flight was almost empty hubby had 4 seats I had 3 and stretched out have not been able to do that in years !
Everyone is different and what we used to do when we were younger ie just put up with it no longer gels when you can't move after sitting for some 20 odd hours lll
