United teasing DEN-FRA on Social Media [Year-Round 787-8 Confirmed, Starts 5/2/19]
Another anagram-style teaser on the various social media outlets. An announcement seems imminent. This would confirm rumors about a new DEN TATL route (technically a resumption after a decade plus) and, to me, makes the most sense as FRA is the biggest *A European hub and already has an established DEN service.
I am guessing it will be summer-seasonal, daily 787-8 service, with an early afternoon eastbound departure and a late morning westbound, to connect with established LH banks and not conflict with the longstanding LH flight, which is evening eastbound and early afternoon westbound. We shall see.. |
Ooh - that should reduce EWR Polaris crowd a little bit.
Hopefully, "seasonal" means thru Oktoberfest (which is mostly in September).... |
Definitely DEN-FRA. No ‘W’ (so no IAD or EWR). No ‘c’, so no SFO or ORD. No ‘h’ means no IAH, and no ‘L’ means no LAX. Leaves DEN as only hub. |
Interesting since LH already does DEN-FRA so hoping it’s just an increase in frequency |

It's already bookable. Checked some random dates, but haven't run into any PZ...

Summertime daily reportedly drops to 5x weekly after September, but the press release doesn't go into specifics other than noting it will be year-round service.

Stoked for this. Booking Colorado to Kigali next Sept and hoping can do this in C for a reasonable price with a good connection. Much prefer to do one long flight than 3 hrs to IAD and a “short” overnight to BRU. |

It's interesting that there's no mention of Lufthansa in the PR.
