Connecting passengers to Australasia have to then wait all day at the airport because flights to Asia and Australia depart Europe in the evening. But now you can skip Europe altogether and save time and money.

Mountain View, CA -- (SBWire) -- 12/10/2009 -- Avoid connecting in Europe and save time and money on flights to Australasia and the Middle East.

Avoid connecting in Europe when you fly to India, Australasia and the Middle East and save time and money, either by flying nonstop, or with only one stop in a world class hub like Taipei, Hong Kong, Dubai, Seoul, Beijing or Guangzhou.

Fast flights: Because Time is of the Essence

European flights are generally scheduled to fly overnight from the USA to Europe, arriving the next morning. Connecting passengers to Australasia have to then wait all day at the airport because flights to Asia and Australia depart Europe in the evening. But now you can skip Europe altogether and save time and money. For example: New York to Dubai nonstop, with an onward flight to Bangkok, Sydney or Manila with just a two and a half hour connection, you shave 8 hours from the same trip via London and the airfare is lower.

Top Quality Airlines for less:

Airlines like Emirates, Asiana, China Airlines, Etihad, China Southern and Cathay Pacific offer very competitive fares though their 21st century hubs and easy same day short connections to all main destinations in Asia, India, the Middle East and Australia. For Middle Eastern trips, you can save time and money on Turkish Airlines connecting in Istanbul to Amman, Damascus or even Tel Aviv, avoiding Europe altogether.

Nonstop & One Stop to Australasia for less:

‘We have seen an explosive growth of nonstop or one stop itineraries to Australasia and the Middle East that avoid connecting in Europe altogether” says Vayama’s CEO, Andre Hesselink , “this translates in faster travel times and lower airfares, and you are traveling on top quality Airlines like Emirates, Etihad, China Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Asiana, and we are not exaggerating when we say that connecting in 21rst century airport hubs like Dubai, Seoul , Hong Kong, Beijing or Abu Dhabi is worlds apart from the foggy and congested Western European airports we all grew up connecting in.

“I also find it fantastic that you can now get a fast flight from New York to Sydney with just one short connection in Dubai. We are seen more and more discounted nonstop flights from the USA to India, South Korea, mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong etc, from where you can hop on fast flights to any destination in Australasia”
