It's not just that, it's also the pricing. I can get to Australia and back with four flights. I usually take eight, as I position out to somewhere in Europe to grab a fare that is at least a third cheaper than what is offered from where I live. It could be six, but my chosen airline requires me to take a stop to go anywhere from here!
