OK, so it's been a few years since I last flew to KTM from US, but does anyone know why the once popular route NYC-Europe-Middle East-KTM no longer seems to be of preference by travel agents and or travelers. I see plenty of itineraries these days with 10 hours or more of transit in Delhi and other cities - ridiculous!!!

What the hell happened to the routes that used to have only 3-4 hours of transit at each connecting city??
