UA believes they have enough O/D traffic in LAX to support this. Give it several months for UA to figure out if that's true or not.

Week 1 of operations is hardly a valid predictor of a route's long term success. Variable loads (for all but the most 'slam dunk' flights) are to be expected until a route matures.

Actually, I am thinking about doing a SDC to the SFO flight. Looks like more room in E+

I for one am hoping the loads stay light at least for the next 6 weeks. I've got an upcoming SIN - RDU flight I need to book and I've been going back and forth on whether to gamble with taking the route and doing a Miles + Cash upgrade with the risk of spending 15-17 hours in E+ if it doesn't clear.

Well, my LAX-SIN flight is zeroed out now in the front cabin on november 10th, doesnt look like my upgrade will clear. Frusturating that when I booked, not a single seat was taken.
Looks like LAX-SIN-SFO will be back to back E+ trips.
I'm in exit row way down, bulkhead way back. Hoping that works. Still on the fence if I should move from row 27 (exit) aisle to 24 (last row e+) window. 24 does have the middle seat open.

Hmmmm, maybe this bit posted on TPG is a way to fill some seats. If it worked somewhat the first time......

So is SFO-SIN, but there is a return flight as well. And even at night there is something to see outside. Stars, for example. It just feels better when you are able to look outside. A humongous difference. Is anyone's bedroom pitch dark? Maybe a bedroom without windows?

Ironically, I was sitting on a flight and the captain came out for a break/chat and he was talking to the FA's about the wifi. He stated that we get worse/no wifi service over Canada than over Russia.

It might work well, intermittently, or not at all. It's satellite based, so the only routing issue is if you cross Chinese airspace. This flight should not.
