Thu UA 853 SFO - SIN - NRT 11:15 - 00:25 sat (8451)
Sat UA 2 SIN - HKG 07:40 - 11:20 (1589)

Totals are - segment 1 16,071 miles

And has anyone noticed that flight 75 from EWR to SFO will become a 3-class 777?

Question: are you doing anything in EWR, SFO, SIN, NRT or is that just part of the itinerary to get you to HKG? If the latter is the case, why don't you just fly LH from LHR to HKG and bite the bullet in Y (you'll still get miles and status miles on UA)? Is this a mileage run? I'm not sure what the mileage is between LHR and HKG (going the normal way ) but I suspect it's around 6000. Why would you want to subject yourself to a 16000 trip?!


I also noticed the 777 equipment change. I like it
