Question

You mean service length or flying time? Man, that's going to be a long flight.

If you think this flight is long, United has a direct nonstop over the top flight from Chicago to New Dehli.

Are you kidding? That flight should be a money maker. Vegas is a very popular tourist destination. Northwest and Japan Airlines split flights to and from Asia to Vegas and I'm pretty sure they're not hurting on this flight or they would have pulled the plug on it already.

You might want to rethink this a bit. United never has had a flight from ORD to New Dehli. Before 9-11 United was going to start flying this route, but after 9-11 in never happened.

United will start start up their second flight a day to NRT sometime this spring. That flight(#882/883) was stoppped after 9-11.

United will also start flying nonstop from Denver to HNL using the 777.

By the way United does have flt. 895 from ORD to HKG. Its goes over the pole and arrives in HKG about 15.5 hrs. later.

Presently, we are looking at 16 hours and 20-30 minutes from Las Vegas to Hong Kong in winter. It looks as though we'll be taking-off with little more than passengers and fuel.

If that sounds long, the A340-500s arrive next year to operate Singapore to Los Angeles and back, both sectors non-stop. Estimated flight time Los Angeles-Singapore in winter, 18 hours 10 minutes.

Well the staff of Singapore Airlines were only told recently that Las Vegas flights would go ahead. I'm sorry we are not as enlightened as the the Hookers around here.

If they really wanted to make money, the route would be Singapore - Hong Kong - Taipei - Seoul - Osaka - Tokyo - Las Vegas to give all the gamblers in these destination a chance. People in Hong Kong might go, but I doubt you will see all that many Singaporeans on these flights.
