The season appears to be summer, so presumably they're going after the US market, not European skiers.
UA27 leaves DEN at 5:35 PM and arrives at LHR at 9:40 AM the next morning.
UA28 leaves LHR at 11:40 AM and arrives at DEN at 2:30 PM the same day.
PS: They appear to have loaded inventory down to the discount fare classes, and I see quite a bit of R space. Those of you who have already re-qualified for 1K may want to take a look...

Would be great to have it move to full year. With Norwegian edging into the DEN-London (LGW) market, UA seems poised to battle back LCC, both International and domestic.
This is a perfect route for the 787-8.
Does UA have to give up a frequency from another hub to make this work?

What would happen if an enterprising FTer booked some R space on these flights, and then they were not implemented due to slot availability or whatever other requlatory approvals were needed not coming through?

I was going to lament the loss of MRY-DEN as this would have been lovely, but IIRC the schedule wouldn't have made the outbound connection without a 6h layover.

But if the flight is canceled after bookings are made UA will treat it like any other similar scenario. Refund or rebook on an alternate itinerary.

Link to my story with the quote from UA; you've been warned.

I flew DEN-LHR back in 2008 on my first trip to London. I'm still plotting my return to Denver and one of these days I'll figure out how to move back.
If anyone is playing follow the slot it went: 3rd IAH-LHR, 2nd LAX-LHR (canceled before ever flying), 6th EWR-LHR, to now DEN-LHR.
