Good grief, if that's my only option, I would rather walk.
If I had to take the flight, copious amounts of wine or champagne would be needed. Sorry, I take that back: UA doesn't have free alcohol. -
I was SO going to book, but then I realised I've got 3 root canals that I don't need, on whichever day it might have been that I thought i would want to fly. Sorry MUN/OComment

This will be a positive development should UA decide to proceed. The lack of nonstop options between the US and Singapore make the journey long and grueling, with the added transit stops and security checks.
UA have confirmed they will introduce a new J-class product on their upcoming 77W's, and I would be surprised if it were not a full flat 1-2-1 offering as most carriers are moving towards. I would also expect the same product to be installed on their A350's.
Personally speaking, if UA is able to offer a flat-bed, semi decent food and a fair IFE selection, this would constitute a good-enough premium product for me to choose them over more time-consuming one or two stop alternatives. Travelling in Y on the other hand, would be a completely different story....

Economy plus is actually still bearable. Barring travelling on their 747s which has lesser leg room in E+ and no personal TV. However, due to the quality of the food, the transit in NRT or HKG actually provide the opportunity for shower plus hot, nice food. Just provide a power plug plus good E+ leg space, it might be a good option for me, as I just need to bring my own snacks and cup noodles and use my own tablet for IFE. Also, if the in flight internet stays at under or around US$30 unlimited for entire flight, it is going to be so cheap.
I might still be tied between transitting in NRT for the shower and hot food vs wasting less time travelling and sticking to the onboard food plus own supplies.Comment

I always wonder where numerous people get their "feelings" about SFO from.Originally posted by vincent0720 View Post
The airport is one of THE most expensive to park a plane at and has a very limited runway config that cannot be expanded due to environmentalists and a salt company. And then there's the fog issue...

Completely escaped me that this was regarding UA (I keep ignoring them hoping they will go away).
AGAIN, even I make completely boneheaded remarks.

I took an UA 747 from FRA to SFO in 2015. After take off, the UA flight attendants provided some drinks, but we were hungry and hoped there could be some snacks. Someone asked...and guess what they said.... it's chargeable lol We almost fainted. (Which century are we in)Originally posted by saobangpo View Post
Maybe UA heard me eventually lolComment
