The only time I have been over Oh Canada on SIN-USA was EWR-SIN and SIN-EWR.

The China airspace restriction doesn't seem to be there anymore. For the past few months, it's worked just fine for me on 777s and 747s (weep!). I've not been on a 787 over China however.

Oddly WiFi service was alright most of the way over the Pacific but I specifically remember it being horrible about 45 minutes outside of Singapore as well as around the Philippines.

I basically found the same experience both ways on the 2nd LAX-SIN and the 6th SIN-LAX. Pulling up the receipt I paid $35.99 for full flight both ways, and iirc it was $15 / $20 / $35 for the three options it gave you but I totally forget the time blocks on the first two.

I bought an hour access since as we were getting close to landing, it was around noon back on the east coast. Silly, but I tried facetiming...and it worked. I didn't stay on it for more then a minute, but there is a certain novelty about being over the pacific ocean and being able to video chat with someone back home.

Absolutely no R space LAX-SIN / SFO-SIN (or Return)?
I have a question to everyone that's been using upgrades on this flight recently.
I have been looking at R space (to use a GPU) on LAX-SIN (or SIN-LAX), or alternatively SFO-SIN/SIN-SFO. Can't find a single R space on any day, for any of these legs in November 2018 (or, for that matter, October, or early December).
Matter of fact, I can't see a single R 'ever'. When I checked in December, I found a good amount of R availability when checking random days. Did something 'happen'? Any use calling the 1K desk (they'd see the same inventory as I do, right?)?
I know this is a hard one to upgrade, but that there is literally 'nothing'? BTW< most of these have every seat open in business.
Cheers

The 1K agent will see the same inventory as you do. R space comes and goes, but, in general, UA is operating these flights because it believes there are a lot of people willing to pa premium prices to fly up front on these routes. They're not particularly interested in offering upgrades, especially 11 months in advance.

Fair enough - thanks for the quick replies.
Though, when I checked some September dates in late December, I found a splattering of R - which are all gone now even though no seats are taken. And, even going through random dates in, say, May - no R at all..
Best,
Dan
