UA847 IAH-SCL 2105-0940
UA846 SCL-IAH 2245-0540
2-class 763
Also, IAH-PUJ on Saturdays
and United plans to start ORD-BZE
Yeah sitting for a long time.
Years ago, this flight was operated from ORD-SCL, by pmUA.
One wonders if they will keep this route ( long term) given the current state of UNITED.
I can count the number of false starts
IAD-DXB-DOH ( DXB-DOH) gone
IAD-ACC-LOS (all gone) LOS replaced with IAH-LOS
IAD-EZE gone
IAD-DME gone
EWR-IST gone
EWR-EZE gone
NRT-BKK (smisek'd)
IAD-GRU-GIG (GRU-GIG gone), so now one has to trek to Houston to go to GIG from the east coast
I can see Belize and Punta Cana staying, presumably operated by 737-900ER or the like.
