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.

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.

I’d guess Soth America, with the azul/Avianca stuff in play, although an airliners.net link without a supporting real news link leaves me skeptical
not likely with this https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cle...outputType=amp only a day old

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