Think of taking kids long haul by myself next year, probably Malaysia/Thailand/HK.

Trying to find useful flights db to work out best routes, which stopovers mean actually getting off plane, shortest journey time

Expedia is just a pain in the arse and takes ages to load, flightradar search doesn't seem to work (you can input start and end airports but it just sits there)

Is there a simple site that just ahs flights etc, not looking at pricing, just logistics!

I would just use skyscanner or google flights. When using skyscanner I check the layovers and then reduce the trip duration filter until it filters out all the ridiculous 4+hr connections. I also filter out the dodgy airlines, too many stops etc.

If you're going to Malaysia then Malaysian are very cheap for obvious reasons but they really are a good airline. A380 out of Heathrow too so nice newish quiet plane.

skyscanner is spot on thanks. Yes I flew to KL via Malaysia Air 12 odd years ago and they were excellent then..
