I'm planning on flying back to the UK for a couple of weeks with my DS, who will be about 9 months old. DH can't get the time off work so it will be just me and the wee one for the 20hr journey. I'm looking at primarily Singapore or Emirates from reading other reviews, but has anyone got any other input or suggestions?

Also, as it is a 20hr journey, it pretty much encompasses one day and one night. Am I better to fly in the morning when we are both fresh, and then hope he's not too tired to sleep at his bedtime/night time, or do I fly later in the day (afternoon or evening flight) when we have both been up for a while and hope he sleeps at his normalish time. In the latter scenario if he doesn't sleep then it's entirely possible that we could both be up for 3hrs by the time we land in London - not a nice thought!

Any ideas?
