BanCoe Hypersonic October 21, 2019 Share October 21, 2019 (edited) i think most people still will want to take a short break for maybe 2-3 hours to "break from the monotony" ....not going to be easy for the elderly; its really loooooong Price is another factor; Long time back SIA had similar long haul flights to LAX but got shot down (though it was like 15 odd hours vs the 16+ hours non direct) but I think they still have to SF; Also they they had no economy but little more bigger seats but I remember the hand rest cannot collapse in (so cannot make bed) if next seat is empty I guess people should be aware of DVT medical issues Edited October 21, 2019 by BanCoe 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no more transit, then Dubai will be first to kena. Kangeroo transit in SIN I thought is mainly to let passengers hop on to the regional SEA routes such as Indo/Phili etc where there is weak direct-flight demand.

Don't think that so-called non stop Per-LHR is really a point to point service. They still rely on domestic feeders from the other oz cities to perth first So instead of Syd->Sin->Lhr, it's Syd->Per->Lhr ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
