Crunching the numbers
Dear Editor,
Re: India medical scheme
I’ve done a basic research online about flights and distance and here is what I found:
• Distance from Samoa to India is 12,000 km
• Distance from Samoa to New Zealand is 3,275km
• Cost per person flying from Samoa to India is about $6000 Tala one-way.
• Flying from Samoa to New Zealand is around $800Tala one-way.
• Hours of flight plus stops from Samoa to India is two to three stops and 33hours flight.
• Flying from Samoa to New Zealand directly is 4hours.
You go figure!
