I totally forgot about BRU. I wonder if CO might consider a Codeshare agreement with Jet Airways as well, as they intend to build up a presence in BRU. That would definitely be ^.
Also, if this proposed alliance goes through, the long-rumored IAH-MAD is certain to become one of the first new IAH routes once enough spare widebody exists. I doubt CO will drop IAH-CDG/AMS, as there's simply loads of oil traffic on those routes as-is.
Also, perhaps IAH-SCL nonstop will finally be in the cards, to hook into LA's network (though they have fairly extensive service ex-LIM and EZE already). Here's to IAH-SCL-IPC redemptions with CO mileage
