Not sure by bread and butter you mean... as in "easy" or more like, what they make the most money in.
As the above poster mentioned 8:30 block plus delays/holding etc... makes for an extreeeemely long night. And as I recall, before it was a layover, this trip was done a mere 48 hours after having come back from SFO or LAX or some such.
Did EK decide to be nice and make it a layover... or was it illegal all those years when I was doing it?
