If only Singapore wasn't out of my way, with UA it's about 20 hours with the connection via LAX. Going VIA Singapore is 30 hours. I also remember taking the old SQ21 service from Newark to Singapore in the glorious A340-500 and I was jetlagged for weeks, which for me it's a very rare occurrence to being jetlagged for over 24 hours.
It's a very good carrier, with a good but very complex frequent flyer program.
