Some of those routes are pretty interesting to look at on a map. The US to Hong Kong is over the north pole, and the US to Sydney makes a giant S, since the 'arc' inverts south of the equator.
Yes, SFO is actually shorter by about 55 NM than from LAX!




EWR-SIN, EWR-HKG

The Singapore flight out of EWR often goes as far south as Newfoundland.
