*a Nrt-syd

Hi all,

I just found out that *A has no really convenient overnight connection from NRT-SYD. This is pretty surprising to me, wouldn't one think that this route has too much of a volume to be left to Qantas & JAL?

Anybody flown this route on * overnight? If so, what routing would you suggest? (should be able to stay in Tokyo as long as possible and arrive in Sydney as early as possible the next morning).
There's a UA,SQ mix option through SIN......

Cheers,
A.

but there is no direct connection which i find annoying, as we dont want to connect in SIN or BKK which takes another 10 hours for connecting etc.

There are lots of routes that one alliance or other doesnt serve.

BTW it isnt an extra 10 hours over direct.

QF22 NRT-SYD dep 2035 arr 0700+1 (so OZ/OZ an extra 5 hours trip time)
QF60 NRT-SYD dep 2125 arr 0950+1 (so OZ/OZ an extra 3 hours trip time)

You could wait for NH to resume its direct services on this route, but you may be waiting much longer than overnight.
