Today, nonstop SYD-LHR flights exist on Qantas, but Changi connections remain competitive on price and offer more airline choices. Singapore Airlines' connecting bank is structured to receive morning SYD arrivals and feed them onto afternoon departures to London, Frankfurt, Paris, and dozens of Asian cities.
