This is news?!

People fly from Britain to Australia all the time. They always try to go via Singapore, Hong Kong or Dubai. They always try to avoid LA.

I assumed Americans already knew they were being shunned. It's nothing to do with anti-Americanism. But, yes, "onerous" is right.



To be pragmatic London to Sydney via SKG, DBX, or HKG is shorter than via LAX. And since it sits on the other side of the IDL you'd be flying for 2 days rather than 28 hours.
