Sadly, I had already checked a bag with United... didn't want to make my SFO flight to SIN, and end up having to deal w/the nightmare of an abandoned check-in bag that's now stuck somewhere in LAS/SFO (add in the addtl shivers of me being back in SIN v.s. being state-side, which makes following up w/UA that much more difficult & nail-biting.)
