Has HKG-SIN-HKG being discontinued?
 
I was looking to fly from SIN-HKG as part of RTW in late January and found the UA flight did not show up.


Went to United.com did a one-way dummy booking and only SQ flights showed up. I note UA ending HKG-SGN services,but did not read about HKG-SIN being discontinued.

Has UA made official announcement? Will this be temporary or permanent?

Looks like it's not flying for those days around Chinese New Year.
It's back after that. Shows up for me except Jan 27-30

Also, not sure about this route specifically, but lots of Asia/Europe flights, even the dailies, don't run daily around the US holidays - Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. I think some Easter, as well. So is it possible you are looking on a day that it might not run? Have you checked a day around it?

Another possibility is they may be holding back seats for those flying back to the US. Typically, they might sell higher fares only on the HKG-SIN, and leave the lower fares for connecting only, but there's no reason why they couldn't 0 out SIN-HKG, but keep it open for those as part of a longer itinerary, say, SIN-HKG-SFO.

Just the usual holidays being skipped due to low traffic: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and CNY.
