pmCO ran DEN-LGW for many years before they dehubbed, and pmUA tried a seasonal DEN-LHR briefly. It would be nice if they could have another go to see if the combined network can support it. And if that works, maybe they can try CLE-LON again... Perhaps they could try resuming some service to LGW if they are out of slots? Running one destination (CLT) out of LGW seems to work for US. In my humble opinion, both the airlines and their customers need their heads examined for preferring LHR - it would be great to have some more choice out of LGW!

DCA-LAS
DCA-LAX
DCA-SFO
DCA-SEA
(see a trend?) I know this is up to the government more than it is up to UA, but in particular I still miss the America West non-stop to LAS that was available up until the US merger. Maybe with AA/US having to sell DCA slots to get merger approval, UA can pick some up.

I've seen this flight sold as a roundtrip for sub-$280ai in recent weeks

To Australia not via LAX or SFO.. Does the 787 have enough range to do DEN-SYD?
What is the range to Auckland? ORD-AUK would be a great route

Let me make your day (or at least 25% of it): DCA-SFO nonstop on UA has existed since May 2012. See http://blog.sfgate.com/cmcginnis/201...-begin-in-may/ and http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAL103

As for me: I'll aim low - would love an IAD-OMA. I've been a patron of US's DCA-OMA, and love to retain the option after US becomes AA.

return of IAD-HPN and upgauging ORD-HPN to be all CR7 and E170
i would like to see some routes to Latin America out of either LAX or SFO (such as SFO-LIR and SFO-SJO)
and i cant believe i am going to say this, as much as i hate EWR, but SMF-EWR

IAH-GEO. It's a huge hassle to get to Guyana from SFO, and you can't do it on Star.

I vote for LAX-HKG. CX can do 4x daily flights and UA can't do one?
It would be so heavily weight restricted it couldn't possibly make money.
EWR-BOM is a polar route. SFO-BKK is not.
I haven't checked the numbers, but I believe the 787 could make it from the West Coast to BKK without severe weight restrictions. I don't expect we'll ever see it.
Agree.
BKK-SFO is 7933 miles (6,894nm) according to great circle mapper http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=sfo-bkk
EWR-BOM is 7807 miles (6,784nm) and is a current route serviced by 777 equipment.
United could service BKK-SFO with one of its 777-200ER which have 7,725nm range

Many years ago UA tested the LAX --> HKG route but quickly discontinued it after only a few months. It might be time for UA to retest this market again. CX operates up to 3 nonstops a day for this route so you know the business is there.

+1 to IAD-SJC.
Also IAD-YVR non-stop, year round. I believe it is currently offered for a couple of summer months.
