But from Europe? I wish. Last couple of flights there were hellishly long, even more hellish than to the US.
When I flew from LA to Bangkok, I think it was Thai Airways, it took about 24 hours with a very short stop in Japan to clean the plane and refuel. I was totally unprepared. Coming back was shorter by a couple of hours and was nice. I think I was more rested.

What airline are you flying ? When I flew over, I was really impressed with the service, food, cleanliness of this airline. A couple that flew at the same time said it was not that expensive to upgrade to first class. At least , the cheapest of any other flight in the past. It was a long, long, long flight, surreal seeming.

They do fly out of Frankfort.

Hygiene award
The Most Hygienic In-cabin Environment programme was initiated for the safety and hygiene of Thai Airways International passengers and employees. The programme includes removal of all inflight disposable materials after flight, sterilization and fumigation of all cabin equipment and inspection of the air-circulation system. The programme also includes passenger food safety. The Special Audit Process is also carried out for the cleaning and sanitization of the overall system of its aircraft by specialists. These measures are applied to the entire Thai Airways International fleet.[31]
Thai Airways International is the first airline to install hospital grade air-filter True HEPA capable of intercepting up to 99.999% of dust particles and micro organisms on every flight.[31]
The World Health Organization awarded Thai Airways International a plaque for the implementation of the in-cabin management system in 2004. It was the first award of its kind to be presented to private organization.[32][33]
