I have a very soft spot for Cathay Pacific and their business class product aboard a Boeing 777-300ER (it was certainly one of the travel highlights for me in 2015). You can read about the Dusseldorf to Hong Kong flight here and Hong Kong to London flight here.
Whilst the fare may not be the cheapest out there (with Air China offer some blinding fares to Australia at the moment), for a quality option without a stop in the Middle East) – these could prove really useful fares if they work in your schedules.
