I flown the nonstop 10 hour flight from usa to Europe. There’s a reason these flights are cheaper than one with a stop. Even in first class no one wants to be stuck in a chair for that long. Not even talking about their shitty economy plus.
Gotta disagree there. Ended up on a 16h flight from HKG to LAX in Business (due to a headwind) and I didn’t mind it at all. Honestly I prefer direct flights where possible. No need to worry about 2nd leg delays, getting and rechecking bags, going through the airport, blah, blah. This is something I’m looking forward too, and obviously I’m not alone if they’re investing millions in it.
I mean, maybe a shill for international travel and exploring the world, but not for a single company. This just seems like a unique offering. Kinda like Emirates “The Residence” or Americans new A321XLRs. Also Singapores airport, etc.
They generally are not. I would know, I fly routes to Europe quite often, mostly business. Cheapest ones almost always involve transiting through major hubs, e.g. Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, NYC. In fact, flying direct from any of these hubs is usually more expensive than flying from a secondary airport and then doing a layover in any of the aforementioned hubs.

Are you affiliated with them? You seem to be very active in this post
Nope. Just enjoy travel and aviation in general and i start seeing the same response over and over, over time.
So you decide to force your opinion on others? Because one thread on this post wasn’t enough?
Hahaha, what? I missed the rule on Lemmy that you can only respond to one comment chain at a time.
Seems like you are trying hard to shut everyone who doesn’t like it. Definitely a shill

No they haven’t.
Chill.
