Wasn't there some debate that CO's EWR-HKG flight is the longest in the world?</font>
UA beat them a few years ago when they offered JFK-HKG which was something like 13 miles longer I remember a "Trip Report" that was printed in the NY Times about it. However, when UA dropped that service, CO then held the record by keeping up with its EWR-HKG flight.

SQ Executive Economy will have 37" of pitch and 20" of width. Not bad for Y! If only UA could afford to have a similar entertainment system (or at least PTVs on 744s in Y).
