You can starting 2013-11-03: SIN-HKG arrives 0935, HKG-EWR departs 1125

Right, IST as well. They pulling out of IST completely. Due to violence in Turkey.

Right, UA/CO never started. That's why they didn't fly. Due to Middle Eastern unrest.

"Packed" means nothing. If these are leisure travelers on rock bottom discount fares, that doesn't support a route.

Full F/C/Y with a smattering of leisure will make a route work.

[QUOTE=TWA Fan 1;21260971 As far as Bristol, this was discontinued in the fall of 2010. I don't know the exact reasons, but I would have to think that Bristol as simply too small a market.[/QUOTE]

I flew this route in September of 2009. I'd guess the problem was yields - the front cabin was more than half empty and economy was filled with older Brits who had been on a package vacation to Orlando

Or a lucrative cargo contract that isn't apparent to anyone sitting above that compartment.
