yes fdr - in the Asian market nobody likes narrowbodies. This is why SQ does not operate them, and sends 777s to BKK, CGK and HKG. CGK has a flying time of 80 minutes and is flown 8 times a day with a 332-seat 773.
QF refuses to invest in its longhaul product, but instead wants to put a "better lie flat J product" and a "better Y product" in it's (presumably) SIN-based A320 startup. SERIOUSLY?!
I fly regularly from SIN to various regional destinations. SQ rapes you with their pricing ex SIN despite the myriad of competition from the LCCs. No it's not because they give you a full meal on a 80 min flight, but it's because they have the frequencies. If QF's new airline can't get 8 flights a day to CGK and KUL, 7 flights a day to HKG and 4 a day to Shanghai, nobody from the business community is even going to consider them. Oh, and at least SQ can get you from Beijing to SIN at the relatively sane hours of 8.45am, 4pm and midnight. The 0250 Jetstar departure is just ridiculous. Even if they had a lie flat product.
Sounds like OZJET in the making.
