The reason why I recall this was because when I fly to HKG normally we would go, IAH-NRT-HKG
A few friends were telling me back in 08 that they had IAH-PEK-HKG (which is what we use now through CA)

You won't find anything. It didn't exist.

When was this? Because for as long as I've been a CO FA I've never heard of IAH - PEK non-stop. Nevermind the fact there aren't even Chinese speaker FAs based in Houston. Pretty sure it was thru flight IAH - EWR - PEK. 737s usually flew the IAH - EWR leg, while the 777 took over for the EWR - PEK leg. Same story with FLTS 1 & 7, those used to be IAH - GUM however made intermediate stops in HNL (FLT 1) and NRT (FLT 7). A 764 was used all the way IAH - HNL - GUM, while IAH - NRT was a 777 and NRT - GUM was a 738. At one point in time for several years FLT 7 originated in SAT.

I've been to MNL for two military coups and a volcanic eruption. The US media announced the end of the world; the family I have there did fine.

One great thing about the new IAH-SCL flight is plenty of I inventory!
