NRT-BKK route is not coming back. Let alone SFO/LAX-BKK.

UA's point of view has been that BKK is not a business route.

HKG, maybe, but only from the west coast.

China route? That requires DOT and CAAC joint agreement. Not happening anytime soon.

Without Russian airspace, I don't think UA's plane would make it west bound unless wright is restricted.

Nice idea. Would 777W or 787-9 make it EWR/ORD-TPE west bound without entering Russian air space?

This won't happen until SFO-PVG is operating daily. Now it's 4 weekly.
