Re: Qantas Business Class

The QF/UA non-stop trans-pac duopoly is a very nice little earner for both of them, I should imagine. Still, I don't have to lecture the members of this board about the convenience of 1-stop service to east-coast US ports, and I don't mean via north Asia either. As for the ultra-long-range SIN/EWR or BKK/JFK services with SQ and TG, well, it's a very pretty flight over the North Pole in the daytime, but it takes for bloody ever, and it's miles and miles out of my way.

So I continue to pay top-dollar for reasonably good premium cabin service that gets me SYD/JFK in 20 hours , instead of 28+ .
