Agreed.
This is where QF is losing alot of pax.
Why fly, for example; SYD-SIN-LHR-MAD (Including changing terminals at LHR and wait for connection)
Emirates do; SYD-DXB-MAD (or any other Major European City)
1 less stop
Depart + arrive same day.
Less d**king around
The bus from LHR to LGW, it was 20-odd pounds last time for me.
Just my 2 cents worth.
