Glad to see the return of Hemisphere magazine: Noticed there was no statement from Scott Kirby in it (or I just missed it). Might have to see if I overlooked it while I am en route to San Diego from Denver.

Mailing stopped with the May issue and since the start of June, Hemispheres has been onboard

Been on several UAX flights with no Hemispheres magazine at any of the seats. Doesn't seem like it is consistently distributed yet.

Very happy to see it back in the airport...never read the mailed copy nor remembered to bring it with me on a trip but it's great to have as part of the travel ritual.

Of 12 segments in the past 14 days I've seen it onboard twice (including the E175 I'm sitting on waiting for a gate at ORD as I type) UCs (,or at least CLE) are plentifully stocked & I left a copy I grabbed there in the seat pocket of the next segment. Had not seen it onboard at all before last week.

I seldom read through it on board, but am pretty good about remembering to sign it...UAL Flyers' Game: FlyerTalk Member Sign in Hemispheres [2013 & forward]
Here's the pic, from 04 Feb 2018 (I was traveling on this E170 in the opposite direction, EWR-RDU):

Bring a copy (or 3 or 4) from the United Club to leave in seatback pockets.
What a way to help us Fly the Friendly Skies of United!
And maybe shame United Air Lines into doing what needs to be done. 🤔
