I'd like 895 or UA to HKG to get its own thread. I think there are enough problems with 895 alone to merit a single thread.
FT Power Elite, can you do that?

I agree Dulcamara. Something fishy. Wondering if 'fuel stop' is really = 'we have empty seats, lets fill'em with peeps from SF, to heck with the poor sods who got on in Chicago'

An extra stop for fuel is not a big deal, unless it is out of the way. If it is fuel, then stop in ANC. They could even position a fresh flight crew there to take over. Stopping at SFO for fuel only makes sense when the weather is quite strange on the polar route.

Still curious. Google found this from years ago. Really makes you wonder.

Picking up parts to fix another plane stuck at destination?
