UA launching LAX-SIN

[TomVexille]

The article is riddled with inaccuracies so I'm not sure if it should be taken seriously, but this would be an interesting development in UA's Asian strategy. If it goes ahead they will trump SQ's re-launch of the route.

However I don't think you'll find me on a UA aircraft for a 17+ hour flight.

United Airlines could steal title of world's longest flight with new 18-hour US to Singapore flight route

United Airlines is hoping to steal the title of world's longest flight from Qatar Airways with the announcement of its new US to Singapore route.The US airline says it will start flying between the Los Angeles Airport and Changi Airport, a distance of about 14,000 kilometres, making it the longest route to or from the United States.

The airline said on Thursday that assuming it gets government approval, flights will start October 27 using Boeing 787 planes.
