Probably be flying Cathay Pacific on 23rd June. One way business class for 3 £3,600. Did look at Emirates as well but a little bit more and no flat beds. Decided on business class as flew back from South Africa in January in economy class and got the middle two of the middle four. Not a comfortable place to be, expecially as my husband is 6ft 3. Going to have two days in Hong Kong on way out.

That sounds very reasonable. Do you think I'll be able to get away with putting the missus and kids in cattle and me in buisness ;)
