Bagso the only shuttle type long haul service is LHR-JFK. Hong Kong has two a day from BA and five from based Cathay, much like Dubai and Emirates does. A commercial business has a duty to put assets where the profits are.
Many depart less than full yet make money if they are busy up front. This allows good deals in Y for the likes of poor old non status me.
