As a follow-on from our popular list of daytime flights from Asia to Australia, we've now published a list of overnight flights in the other direction (which are the exception, rather than the rule):

The flights ex-SYD do tend to lend themselves to good connections onto UK/Europe etc with arvo arrivals. But yeah, not good if you’re staying in Asia.

We should expect that list to grow when WSI gets its groove on (for those inclined to use it).

WSI, Whistundays are a long way off being an International gateway ;)
 
OK I'm going to be a bit pedantic, or a bit of a smart a@## (or both), but geographically Asia extends all the way the eastern shores of the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul as such, there are several flights missing from the list, those to AUH, DXB and DOH. ;)

(As opposed to East Asia and SE Asia.)

@AFF Editor did include the following disclaimer:
For the purpose of this article, we are not including flights to destinations in the Middle East. Although the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are technically part of Asia, the majority of flights from Australia to Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha are overnight – so these are not hard to find.

I travelled 3 days ago with China Southern to BKK via CAN it was an amazing experience on a super clean and comfortable Dreamliner 787-9 with the most genuinely nice and super attentive and professional cabin crew that treated me in economy class as if I were a first or biz class pax. The only criticism is that entertainment is limited with very few recent films in English and the other ones very old and the annoying and misleading QF/CZ agreement whereas even as a Gold lifetime member I did not have any access to the QF lounge in Mel or the CZ lounge in CAN and unless I misread the QF website I had expected these benefits applied, it turns out you have to fly on a codeshare flight with a QF number and not a CZ flight number, but no complaint as their service puts other carriers to shame, including QF and CX. Same can be said of Xiamen Airlines, with whom I flew 2 weeks ago to an equally amazing cabin crew experience, all of them so genuinely friendly and helpful, the complete opposite with CX and QF on recent flights
