PDX-LAX. Bring it back!
I'd like to see a midday PDX-EWR and vice versa. Right now you have to take a 10am or a 7pm on EWR-PDX. I know the evening flight is timed to meet up with the TATL inbounds but it is still annoying. It's also hard to believe that the 7pm is now an A319.

On Zach Honig’s Instagram feed (looks like he was at UA HQ yesterday), it sounds like BKK is not coming back anytime soon / not being actively planned. However, it does sound like UA will announce some other new routes pretty soon - unsure if seasonal flights or new year-rounders.

I'm certain this has been mentioned already, but it bears reiterating if that's the case: IAD-SJC/SJC-IAD.

SJC-EWR competed against SFO-EWR, which has nicer (more bearable) aircraft and better seats. If United puts a B757 on SJC-IAD, it might work.

I’m 99.9% sure it will never happen, but I’d love to see UA order the A350-1000ULR and run them on EWR-AKL and EWR-SYD.

SQ had to go all-PE in order to make SIN-EWR work, and SYD is 400 miles further. If UA goes with the A350 at all (which I doubt), I suspect it would be the XWB models, not the ULR models.

OMAAT posted an article earlier today suggesting -1000ULR announcement is coming soon.

I get the sense that UA is happy to monopolize the TPAC routes (since AA has basically given up) and is satisfied with their current TATL banks out of ORD. AA announced some new seasonal routes out of ORD, but I don't get the sense that UA views them as big competition.
I would think ORD-TLV would be the next route to get started - a bit surprised that UA didn't jump in front of LY starting it, but given UA's relative position of strength for US carriers there, I would imagine it comes along at some point.
