Gulf vs Southeast Asia hubs
Routing via Singapore or Kuala Lumpur usually means a shorter total flying time than the Gulf because the path lies more directly southeast. Gulf carriers, however, often run sharper fares and have more Calicut frequency. If you want to break the long trip, a Singapore stopover is pleasant and the airport is among the world's best.
