Why book

Best current option for HKG→LHR. Nonstop via Central Asian corridor avoids Gulf airspace on both legs. CX and BA offer strong daily frequencies.

The catch

Goes close to a warning area but does not cross it

Worth knowing

Central Asian corridor has some peripheral advisory proximity. Check Eurocontrol ATFM status on departure day for any flow restrictions.
