also lots of advertising for TPAC routes that are already in service today.
UA is
1) pointing out it has more international service vs AA, DL, ...
2) more summer 2023 international flights versus last year
3) more summer 2023 international demand than last year

This is a system-wide summer 2023 announcement aimed a leisure travelers (summarizing multiple earlier moves) and try to decide what to do this summer (and for the financial community with a weaker Q1 announcement next week) . And for not FTers who have the schedule memorized..
