With a week between games it's not that big a deal to put a team in Mexico City. It's a negligible difference in flight times. London would be really tough for west coast teams though. I think you'd need to give a bye the week before to any team from the pacific time zone who goes to London. That way they can go early and adjust (your body generally adjusts 1 time zone a day).
I am of the belief that they should play a 16 game season spread out over 18-19 weeks anyways. This would allow byes preceding Thursday games (and London trips), and we might not have as many Yates vs Hasselback matchups if guys had more rest. Plus you are selling an extra 1-2 weeks of TV games. I see no drawback to this and lots of positives.
