However, the fact that UA has taken this route seasonal suggest bookings overall have not met expectations. The decision to add new routes is made far above revenue management. And sometimes you don't know how a route will sell unless you give it a try. I'm not going to fault UA for being willing to take chances. Not every at bat results in a home run.
Agree on one single flight, but a quick sampling of a couple of days in May shows cabin often less than half full on multiple days (not all) on this route and no businerss saver awards, yet there are plenty of saver options on LH.
