Imagine being on a flight for 24hrs. I think I’d rather have the stop over.

Bold of them to think that people would pay extra to sit for 20 hours in economy to get to London or Sydney a few hours earlier, rather than suffering the privation of stretching their legs at an airport somewhere in the middle. On such a journey, the airport break in the middle makes the whole thing just about tolerable.

Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

Odd to see it go the long way around, over north america rather then the current paths via the middle east.
