What Route(s) do you wish UA Flew?
IAH-CDG
|
LAX-TLV
|
According to RoutesOnline, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is encouraging B6 and UA to start Bay Area to Buffalo. For UA, that would be SFO-BUF...would be very surprised if that one comes about. I am sure the ask is more centered around constituent requests in upstate NY, but some of the discussion (as it being a cheaper way to get to Toronto) simply isn't appealing IMO - having done the drive from Buffalo to Toronto, it's not a terribly interesting drive, and there are plenty of opportunities to hit traffic as you come around the western edge of Lake Ontario.
On an unrelated note, I'd love it if UA could find a way to start EWR-PPT on a seasonal 3x weekly basis - not sure what the loads out of SFO are, but a direct flight from EWR shows up around 6300 miles, which would be well within the range of a Dreamliner. |
SLC-IAD

EWR-PEK

SFO-PPT was started to defend the hub and drive the French Bee PPT route under, not because it's profitable.

ORD to XIY

Not just the French Bee (BF) PPT route, but their ORY-SFO flight. I suspect UA was none too happy that BF was going toe-to-toe with UA's CDG-SFO service.

A few reasonable connect-the-dots longhaul adds I'd like to see for UA:
EWR-GIG/TPE/ICN/WAW*/BUD* ORD-TLV IAD-MXP/ATH* IAH-ZRH/CDG/OGG SFO-GRU/FCO* * seasonal

RTW on 1 metal is dead, unless Emirates decides they want to run a 5th freedom flight from Asia to non-US N/S America.
The closest UA can do now is EWR-DEL-SFO-EWR, which, while polar and not a true circumnavigation, is still pretty cool. |

As for routes, I wish there were more current UA EWR-Europe and SFO-asia options available from ORD |
SFO-BOM on a 77W. If this ever started, I would gladly become a weekly regular on this flight out of my own pocket.
|
For YOW-ORD, that article says "50 seaters" but is that ERJ-145 or CRJ-550? (or CRJ-220...)
That flight is coming back just a month after I needed it :p |
Anything else outside of North America on UA. They just announced they are upgrading LHR, NRT, and FRA to a 789.
How about DEN-AMS |
