Yup. My Singapore route connected through Narita. Singapore to NAR - 7:00
NAR to ORD (O’ Hare) - 12:00 That’s a brutal, brutal day. When I would fly to Seoul I often flew from Detroit direct on Northwest. That’s over 14 hours in the air non-stop. Even in business class that was unpleasant. I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like in coach. -D > On Sep 25, 2020, at 8:07 PM, Curt Raymond <curtlud...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Flying home from Tokyo direct to Boston the flight leaves at like 4:10pm and > arrives (13 hours later) at like 4:05pm the same day... > > -Curt > > On Friday, September 25, 2020, 4:52:01 PM EDT, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > > I traveled to Asia a number of times each year.
