Also good to show what long legs they can fly. LIM is a longer trip than RIO, CPT, HNL, SIN, or DPS, regardless of whether the hub is CPH or ARN.
Not that any of those destinations would be economically feasible for regular traffic, but a guy can dream, can't he? ;-)
Both DPS and HNL would make longer flights from CPH from CPH than LIM. Though interestingly ARN HNL is 250 miles shorter than CPH HNL.
CPH LIM is about 1200 miles shorter than EWR HKG that United regularly have been operating with a standard 777-200ER, so it is not really close to pushing the limits of long haul routing.
