BKK-SFO is 7933 miles (6,894nm) according to great circle mapper http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=sfo-bkk
EWR-BOM is 7807 miles (6,784nm) and is a current route serviced by 777 equipment.
United could service BKK-SFO with one of its 777-200ER which have 7,725nm range

Main Line flight on PWM-EWR and PWM-ORD, since DL has Main Line on PWM-ATL and PWM-LGA. Also US has main line on PWM-CLT, it would be nice to see UA have similar service out of PWM to match their competitors.

IAD-SJC and IAD-SNA. I'd only need to fly out of a terrible airport on one end, versus my current IAD-LAX routing.

This and BGR to well anywhere. With US leaving *A after their merger is complete it is either a drive to PWM to connect onward or huff it down to PWM. (Well almost anywhere, we do seem to get the occasional 757 diversion from the EU, I'd rather avoid connection to FRA to get to MKE.)

HKG-BKK
SFO/LAX-BKK (maybe the 787 would make this viable; can it go that far? I think a 777 is too big for this route)

Bring back RTW service--JFK-HKG-DEL-LHR-JFK.
Would also like to see LAX-EZE, LAX-FRA return, and return of IAD-EZE.

I'm a stinker but love all UA routes from EWR. Just figure out a way for more efficient operations.

DCA-LAS
DCA-LAX
DCA-SFO
DCA-SEA
(see a trend?) I know this is up to the government more than it is up to UA, but in particular I still miss the America West non-stop to LAS that was available up until the US merger. Maybe with AA/US having to sell DCA slots to get merger approval, UA can pick some up.
