UA's own 4 pax connecting from TPAC flights that would have had to be put up overnight to catch next flight to SIN next day.
If it was me - after 30-40 minutes, I would have asked to be offloaded in HKG - and dealt with the UA gate agent there, and skipped SIN altogether knowing I'll miss a 1am connection. There are late night/early AM flights from HKG to LHR/FRA that would have still connected with the original LHR-USA
There were many more people affected as I stated in an earlier reply.
After 30-40 minutes I should have asked to be offloaded? Is it that easy?? Just ask them to offload you and it's done?
And how was I supposed to know the SQ flight wasn't waiting? The HKG flight waited for the connecting EWR passengers.
