Everything connects through ADL, both ways.

Did they really cut back so much capacity on their 3 biggest flights to Oz?

But perhaps one reason is that United has data on those established routes so knows that they can hold on to seats for now. Adelaide is a new route, so no historical data, hence different availability.

Has anyone flown to or through ADL via UA in the past year?

Still seeing mostly J Saver awards through ADL, so they're leaning on the TPAC, at least between SFO and ADL, in the Jan-Feb time frame.
