Singapore to Vancouver, in segments < 7 hours

[theducks]

lizbyrd's friend kiyoshi_chan doesn't like taking flights longer than 7 hours, so Liz and I spent some time looking at possible routings for Singapore - Vancouver, in <7 hour segments

Singapore-Dubai-London-New York-Vancouver (23000 km)
Singapore-Townsville-Fiji-Hawaii-Vancouver (18000 km)
Singapore-Tokyo-Anchorage-Vancouver (13000 km)
Singapore-Seoul-Anchorage-Vancouver (12800 km)

Also, Singapore Airlines are still butt-munches for cancelling flights to Vancouver.

Hmm, handy. My parents are supposed to be heading that direction and that's pretty much their requirement too ;)

Perth-Sydney-Fiji-Hawaii-Vancouver isn't too bad. But it would be AUD$3400 or so, vs $2500 for Perth-Sydney-Vancouver

Yeah, but when you're comparing against flying business class the whole way (which they're convinced will make it better, I'm less convinced) the price is quite reasonable.

I reckon stopping for a week in Hawaii for a break would be well worth it personally.
