FYI
my bolding of the start date changes
Hi everyone, wanted to provide a quick update on this. As you have seen, the new start date for DEN-NRT is May 12. Because of the pull-down in 787 flying, we're also making a few other schedule adjustments:
Hi EmailKid, that's correct. The current plan is for the new start date for DEN-NRT to be reflected in the schedules by February 23.

- We'll fly 777s instead of 787s on LAX-NRT, LAX-PVG, and IAH-LOS
- The start date of SFO-CDG will change to April 26
- The start date of nonstop SFO-TPE will change to June 6

As noted last year by LarkSFO, if you are looking for another *A option to Northern Europe, SAS has just launched SFO-CPH service.
The SK regulars do not appear to be too keen on the 170-degree angled business class seats, though honestly that doesn't sound any worse than the current LH product which is slowly being retrofitted with lie-flat.
With the new SK service, I see no chance of a UA nonstop from SFO to Scandinavia. But at least we'll have better connections to SAS intra-Europe flights...

UA offering bonus miles for flying SFO-TPE. 100% in United First & United Business, as well as 50% for select United Economy tickets (a.k.a. the most expensive fare classes)

IMHO, it would have been nice if they'd have included W/V/Q fares. Checked a couple dates in July for USA>TPE and prices were $1500++ (and that was for an S or L fare...)

Earn 100% more MileagePlus miles on roundtrip flights in United First, United Business or full-fare United Economy® (F, A, J, C, D, Z, P, Y and B fare classes), or 50% more miles in discounted United Economy (M, E, U and H fare classes).

1st flight 29 MAR is delayed 40 minutes already and the Y->C upgrade list has 22 people with 6 cleared. It seems many are nonrevs as they are also on the F WL. Y has 2 empty seats.
It looks like tomorrow's flight (2nd flight) is booked decently and Y -> C upgrade is pretty competitive... C shows booked full on Flight Status and already 7 people on the WL.
So, maybe it won't be an easy-upgrade route...

Earn 100% more MileagePlus miles on roundtrip flights in.....
10. Roundtrip is defined as travel from an origin city to a destination city with return travel beginning in the destination city back to the origin city. Open jaw and circle trip itineraries do not qualify for this offer.
Why? I happen to have a trip with return city different from the original destination SFO. The SFO-TPE is not available on the day I'm to return so I cannot route through SFO and take advantage of the bonus miles offer. Too bad.

According to this (in Chinese): http://www.chinatimes.com/newspapers...4000038-260202 that the GM for Sales at United TPE said the load factor for 871/872 April reached 90%. So, I guess it is good news.
