Inaugral Flights

Interested in how many have been on a inaugral flight, new service between
2 cities or on the first flight when a airline starts new service out of a city.

Not routes, but just as notable:

First UA 744 flight, LAX-SYD (our first flight certificates called it "Syndey"!)

Last flight of the first 727-100, SFO-SEA

First UA flight to arrive LHR T1

Almost on the last UA DC-6, RNO-SFO, but they kept it in service an extra week

I've been on 13 inaugural flights to date. Will do at least one more this year.

My job involves setting up new stations for my airline, so flying on the inaugural flight is usually an occupational neccessity.

I have also written a trip report telling the tale of an inaugural flight from the airline perspective that might interest you.
