If you do consider flying via Europe - consider Milan Malpensa. Increasingly I have seen Customers using MXP as a connection point for Singapore. MXP has upgraded and has decent facilities and believe the lounge used is Sala Montale. Connection has decent buffer time, and apparently some decent fares routed via MXP. Also have seen an increase in AI connections to DEL using Milan as a transit point.

Business class - I'm gonna say Asian carriers have more decent food and customer service...... North American/European airlines, don't bother me after formal service, let me do my Sudoku, Crossword or iPad.

17+ hrs on United economy is just pure abuse! Almost the same as putting a person in jail for 24 hours before bail.

Done both, and only the latter I'd consider abuse.
Never mind the HD.

i've done YYZ-SIN and KUL via HND, NRT, HKG, PEK, TPE, IST. AC/CX/NH via hkg/pek/nrt are good for arrival timings. BR will get you there early morning, and has the best product in the air. TK was super cheap (i paid arund $3800 J) but sometimes they use old planes with angled lie flat on the KUL run.
if you're looking for cheap, I've also seen fares on Ethiopian with long layovers in ADD. the airport is a gong show but their planes are new.

I always love the UA Economy Plus comparisons to regular AC economy. The comparison should be to an AC Y Preferred Seat.

I think that may be the understatement of the day.. Read some guys's trip report with a stop there and decided no way was I taking an Aeroplan award on that route (would have been long stopover)

Or...steer well clear and never savour the fun of new places.
