Any idea if this route start before SEA-HKG ? Also which plane type was it ? Obviously SEA-HKG had a delay start until UA got CP's DC10-30.

SEA-NRT is much shorter I am guessing 747-100 ? I am doubtful it is DC10-10 as the range is even shorter.

NRT-HNL UA 806 19:30-07:00

It was DC-10 all 3 legs.

When I came back, it was SIN-HKG on a 744 UA 806 also (can might spreadsheet be wrong?) and UA did not go to TPE from SIN and use CX to TPE.
Well obviously your spreadsheet is wrong, as UA 805/806 is for IAD-SFO-HKG-SIN for a very long time, and PA 805/806 has the same routing as well.

The only changes now is UA 805/806 becomes UA 862/869 and the finally destination is SGN instead of SIN.
