As a SLF, 7-10y international I find myself asking "when did I last get on a plane and on landing mid-trip be told 'oh, you can all stay in the craft while we refuel and clean around you' folks" and think: nevah. nevah nevah evah in the last 12 years of this ritual, never have I been told, a refuel is stay-on-plane.
If it lands, they want you off it.
Love to know there's still another way, but for the majors, thats how I see it. SIN/LAX/HKK/BKK/DBX/NRT which is pretty much all of the ones you hit doing east or west, Austraya to Yoorp
