Mrs.T and I went to the UK on EVA in 2008, on our return at Heathrow, the EVA desk bloke said, something like "Do you have a return flight", I said, "No, this is my Thai wife, look at her name in her passport, look in my passport, you will see a long stay visa because I live there".............
It was a long time ago, but I recall I wasn't that impressed, I prefer the BA night flight, book a seat right at the very back, where there are just 2 seats together, a smile keeps me in supply of vino, can sleep for hours, and a breakfast I can eat, all is good.....????
Quatar was OK, but the stop-over, with a different plane, was not nice...????
