I agree it would be nice if they had made these match up with the NW departures from SIN. Last I looked there wasnt a flight out of any city in India that gets into SIN in time for the AM NW flights back to the US. I've taken the Thai airways Banglore-BKK flights that get into BKK in time for the NW flight home. Seems to be the only good way to connect with NW to head home eastward. I prefer the NRT routing to going back thru Europe since I'm on the US west coast and even with the direct NW flights out of Bangalore I still would rather a better connection heading east, especially since the AMS-SEA flight can seem like it's standing still with winter headwinds and the NRT-SEA flight can get in an hour early with tailwinds.
