Will UA offer CVG/DTW-ORD-ICN/TPE flights with the second segment operated by BR/OS? That would theoretically allow one-stops. I think SYD, SIN, PVG, & AKL were more important for connections because DL already offers DTW-Asia flights to PEK, NGO, ICN, PVG, and NRT. Confusing why CVG arrives at night though...

SFO-DTW is so long overdue. UA is finally starting to fill in some of the obvious dots in their network between large cities and hubs (EWR-SJC/SLC, ORD-SJC, SFO-DTW/MIA). SFO-CVG is a direct blow to DL. When DL announced the start of SFO-BOS and people wondered if UA would retaliate, looks like we have an answer.
