Super chuffed for you Daniel! Glad to see your family bond is still so strong despite a whole ocean separating them! I haven’t had the opportunity to fly a narrowbody long haul, but it can’t be that bad. Sure, the available space is noticeably less than a dual-aisle plane, but the way people talk about it, it’s like the widebody is a palace in comparison to a modern narrowbody.

As a half Japanese and Swedish with my fatter's family based in Gothenburg, I know the significance! Though my parents aren't separated, we do go to Gothenburg every summer and every time we all wished that there was a direct flight from Tokyo to Gothenburg. The "pain" of always transiting in Copenhagen (even though one of my fav airport) is not the same as flying direct somewhere like you said! One day maybe we will see a Tokyo - Gothenburg flight, but I do not have my hopes up as we just finally got a Stockholm - Tokyo flight! Happy for you Dan, keep up the good work and all the best!

Gothenburg's airport reminds me a lot of the pleasant surprise we had when we chose to fly back to US in December directly from Bergen, Norway, rather than from Oslo. Bergen's Flesland Airport had some lovely shops and eateries, a pretty good-sized duty free, and was clean, efficient and crowd-free.

It wasn’t a narrow body either it was an A350! I found that madness, and the A321 seems like a small plane so slow service but it still seemed amazing

Hobart resident here. Whilst there are direct flights to most Australian capital cities, the majority of flying is via Melbourne or Sydney. This can add up to half a day of travel time. It's so much nicer to have direct flights. Presently there is one international service to Auckland NZ, but it's not daily.

I think a lot of it is symbolic when you've had two homes on different continents for a large part of your life and traveled between them 4 times a year. That said flying is exhausting enough and a single 8h flight is A LOT better than 8h + the connecting flight itself + the 2-3 hour connection...

I remember when I first moved to USA from Australia, the flight route took about 38 hours door to door. San Francisco to LAX, LAX to Honolulu, Honolulu to Auckland NZ, Auckland to Melbourne, it was brutal. Sometimes an unscheduled stop in Nadi Fiji if Auckland was fogged in, they would pick up fuel from Nadi. On those old United 747, with the communal TV's in the isle, with golf programs.. Ugh. United only recently did SFO to MEL non stop couple of days a week.
