I just wonder if it's going to be a new location at all - the newest Dreamliner route adds have been seasonal routes to Europe out of SFO (MUC, ZRH) and longhaul routes to existing destinations (SFO/LAX-SIN, IAH-SYD). It seems like outside of the seasonal TATL routes, UA is more focused on bulking up service to existing destinations where they already have personnel, etc. in place. If I had to guess with regards to this rumor, I would pick LAX-FRA.
