I just saw that China and Russia are allowing flights over their territory now. You can fly a 777 direct from NY to hongkong via going over the north pole.

Continental and Cathay and United have been doing the pole for over 2 years now, Chinese and Russian airspace have been open for longer than that. The 777 runs that route, but the A340-500 will be doing it for the SIN-JFK route.
