HKG-SIN has been operated by the 3-class 772. EWR-HKG is the 2-class sCO aircraft.

Never had UA used 3 class planes with 2-4-2 for EWR-HKG as this was and still is a sCO route with sCO plane with sCO crew. sCO and 3 class and 2-4-2 dont match.

HKG-SIN however is 3 class 2-4-2 as that is sUA.

EWR to HKG should be on an A350 on CX starting at the end of this month or beginning in November.

i do indeed mean flight attendants... sorry for the misappropriation there.

well, all i can tell you is that the bathrooms are somehow magically cleaned during the flight... and i doubt the passengers are doing it. i can only relate my personal experience, of course, and YMMV, but i'm on this fight 4X or 5X a year and i can't remember a single time when the bathroom has been in disarray.

If so, then take that ride. It is a great plane, you will have a much better flight than on the UA 772, and that is not counting the better seat on CX.
