How far from feasible is ORD-SYD - new aircraft, of course.

Oscar was at ORD today...Not sure if coming or going.

It’s fun to speculate: What possible route could be this “historic”? It’s got to be a length issue—some ULH flight, or maybe bringing back the “real” UA1 and UA2 RTW flights? THAT would be cool again.

Oh man, I would love this one if it arrived in the morning or mid-day to allow for connections to MNL/BKK/etc... If this is the case though, I am sure it will launch as soon as I move out of Houston next year.

Bringing back CLE hub?

Would be nice to see them do EWR-JNB, ORD-TLV .

Maybe a one-way flight to Antarctica for Kirby?

Resuming flights from JFK?

I actually think a return to true UA1/2 would be historic.

Id guess Soth America, with the azul/Avianca stuff in play, although an airliners.net link without a supporting real news link leaves me skeptical

Given the current political climate IAD-DME would be more likely...

Probably to expand on the APAC routes.
APAC is where traffic is growing the fastest.

DCA-IAD-DCA, IAD-BWI-IAD,BWI-DCA-BWI as public interest services to reduce I-95, I-495 and I-66 traffic jams in the DC Metro and Baltimore area!

That will be historical.....
