I thought that too, but without looking at the timetables in too much detail, it may be a connection timing issue with overnighting maybe necessary out of BNE to TAS via a direct connecting port like KUL, ICN, BKK etc. Also in order for Adelaide United to arrive back directly into Adelaide, SQ may have been the best option, hence the outbound also SQ. Which then meant that via India was the best option?
A quick check on Expedia for BNE-TAS flights on an upcoming Saturday (same day of the week travel as they went) shows all BNE-TAS services with two stops with flight durations of between 29 and 44 hours, so maybe they had no other choice?
