I get that part.
So, maybe they had to give up the HKG-SIN route after they launched their second flight to SIN. But with SGN they switched that route to a 737 after a few years --so the wide-bodies were still parked overnight at HKG.
Seems like there are still a good number of UA fliers who transit through HKG (via HX, CX, and MH), but operating intra-Asia flights wouldn't be profitable for UA since that market has gotten more competitive.

Have yet to check out the TG lounge at HKG, but I liked SQ's lounge at HKG.
