I READ with dismay that Singapore Airlines is converting its daily direct flights to Los Angeles and New York to all-business class flights. It is eliminating the popular 'executive economy' section of these direct flights.

I read in The Business Times that with the conversion of these flights to full business class, economy-class travellers will have to take the Singapore-Frankfurt-New York route, or fly to LA via either Tokyo or Taipei on its B747-400 planes.

I hope SIA management does not agree with the writer of the BT article.
