>People hate layovers, they want more direct flights.
still waiting for direct sin-jfk or syd-lhr.
none exist.
SIN-EWR used to exist, but it was too costly to run.
edit: the new a350-900 ULR delivering this year is capable of flying long distance, so we'll see some of these flights reappear, esp now that fuel is cheap again.
- stephen_g 9y agoQantas announced last year that they're interested in flying direct to London and some other European cities from the eastern states of Australia. They're still waiting for a plane that can economically I think. A variant of the 777X might be an option. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/qantas-eyes-sydney-to-london-direct-flight https://www.sbs.com.au/news/qantas-eyes-sydney-to-london-dir...
- dx034 9y agoSYD-LHR will come as soon as technically possible. It'll be a 20h flight but can probably mostly be filled with business and premium eco. The yield on that route would be high enough to justify it (SIN-EWR was only so costly because the plane wasn't built for the distance).
