Lack of Longhaul Destination Diversity
Since they cut Abu Dhabi (which never made sense to me), VA's longhaul destinations are just LAX (from SYD/MEL/BNE) and HKG (MEL/SYD). Any news on if they're ever gonna plan another longhaul destination besides those two? They could make SFO work based on distance, and certainly have plenty of cities in Asia (Singapore/Tokyo/Shanghai/etc...) that I'd think would have priority for being a destination rather than doubling up on the same cities.
Anyone have any insights into their strategy?
