I take a lot of quick trips, though this one was lightning fast even by my standards, as I flew to Hong Kong and back in about 32 hours, with just over four hours on the ground in Hong Kong.

You didn't visit the Singapore SilverKris lounge at Hong Kong? The new lounge is gorgeous...
Worth noting that UA recently announced they are reducing their Polaris bedding. They will not be provisioning as many mattress pads, and will be giving one pillow instead of two (but gel pillows will still be available on request). Not a huge change but it happened quickly. They say it's due to customer feedback that there is too much stuff and not enough space for it.
If I'm reading this correctly, you were able to waitlist your Singapore flight without actually having enough miles in your Kris Flyer account, and then transfer points into the account after the waitlist cleared. Is that correct? I didn't know I could do that. Can I waitlist myself and then decide to reject the offer when/if it comes through?
@ David O -- Sorry, I should have been clearer. I transferred over the points when I first started looking at this ticket, and then waitlisted them about 24 hours later, when the miles were in my account.
@ Alvin -- I did, but unfortunately it was so crowded that I decided not to review it. Literally every seat was taken, so taking any sort of decent pictures was nearly impossible. Agree it's a very nice lounge, though I don't love that it doesn't have any natural light.
Also, was premium economy not featured on SQ 2? I didn't know that there were planes with the new first, business and economy products but no premium economy. Do those planes feature four seats or eight seats in first class?
@ Alvin -- Correct, it had eight first class seats, business class, and economy, but had the new cabins. As far as I know these are the same interiors as the ones with four first class seats and premium economy.
You are crazy but I guess that is what makes you good at this 🙂 Looking forward to the rest of the report
@lucky I was in the SQ F lounge that day, and the lounge itself is alright, but if there's any reason to go there it's to get out of the completely packed Business lounge
Hi Lucky
Did you stay in transit the entire time or did you pass through customs for 4 hours?
I don't suggest going to the united club in HK. It is no good. Go to the SilverKris lounge instead if you want to relax.
