* Assuming holiday won't flex to flying Friday, the simplest option is to bite the alarm clock and fly BA 8am. I suspect the early flights are better for jet-lag mitigation anyway.

** <Mike> I can fly Friday (and, presumably, it'll be cheaper). Not sure if everyone else can, though....

** NB: Friday isn't absolutely cheaper, unless only considering Virgin flights (which you might do if objecting to silly o'clock starts).

* If domestic transportation arrangements don't permit this, then we could consider Lufthansa 10am (from Gatwick) or Air China 5pm (from Heathrow).

** Alitalia and KLM being even earlier (~6am). The desperate may consider a sleep-Friday-at-the-airport option.

* It occurs to me that for much the same prices, we can fly to Osaka, skipping the necessity of sorting out a day in Tokyo and entraining to meet lmm. Only disadvantage being that we can't fly direct because BA are lame. Might therefore require a longish stopover in Amsterdam or Rome.
