HGH-SFO did not work out well (due to 2 x PVG-SFO daily flights). Perhaps, UA should give HGH-EWR a try. EWR-PVG flight seems to be very packed everyday. Just hoping.
Edit: Based on EWR-PVG (10:00 am --> 2:05 pm+1 day) and PVG-EWR (4:30 pm --> 5:55 pm) schedule, UA does not need to park its aircraft at HGH overnight, but SFO-HGH flight did. Just need to find a spare 777 for this route, perhaps, two or three time per week.

Would be great to have DEN > ICN on 787-8 - no one serves these two cities non-stop currently, so it would be good for UA and for people flying from ICN to anywhere in rocky mountain states.
Probably need to upgauge DEN > NRT to 787-9 at least because that flight seems to be full most of the time.
I would like to get SEA > NRT back as well, but at least ANA has their own as well.

UA adding some routes for the Super Bowl as one-offs:
BOS-MSP
PVD-MSP
PHL-MSP
Also have some different aircraft...3:30AM flight on Monday 2/5 is using a 757. MSP-EWR at 1:30AM going HD 772 (presumably - announcement doesn’t say anything about using an international bird for the route).

Any of the mexican manufacturing city airports (QRO,BJX,etc) - ORD would be help out a lot instead of the twice a day MEX-ORD flights for a lot of people I know, now myself included.

will be interesting to see if there is any pushback from UA on this. If I interpreted the call yesterday, it seems as though Kirby and team want to be more defensive, including calling out the international gateways.

I'd love CLL-literally any other United hub other than IAH - they have the planes to do it (the ERJ-145XR can get from IAH-IAD so it can get CLL-IAD too) and it would make connections so much easier with more options and likely cheaper fares.
But they're instead adding a third IAH-CLL RT daily.

Would really like to see EWR-YVR morning flight reinstated. AC's 788 evening flight has a decent PE product, but timing just stinks.

EWR-RNO would be great. It's weird how they fly to so many ski destinations from EWR but don't have RNO, which has enough summer/winter traffic (PDEW) to theoretically support year round daily service.
