Not to stray too far OT but depending on the winds SQ's SIN-EWR-SIN can technically be a RTW — SIN-EWR flies via the Pacific while EWR-SIN either takes the polar route or crosses the Atlantic and goes over Europe / Central Asia / India so on those days SQ does go around the world

In the winter, the same can happen with EWR and ORD flights to/from China.

STS-DEN may get upgauged from a CR2, according to this report from the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat about continued growth in traffic at STS: "In addition, based on this year’s successes, forthcoming changes could include United Airlines moving to a larger capacity jet on its daily trip to Denver, and American Airlines transitioning its Dallas-Fort Worth flight to year-round service starting in April." Which would be great, since that 977-mile route has to be one of UA's longest segments to inflict North America's worst regional jet on pax.

FWIW, STS-SFO is already moving from a CR2 to a CR7 on at least some flights in 2020.
