Bold of them to think that people would pay extra to sit for 20 hours in economy to get to London or Sydney a few hours earlier, rather than suffering the privation of stretching their legs at an airport somewhere in the middle. On such a journey, the airport break in the middle makes the whole thing just about tolerable.
