I'd give up FAT-DEN for mainline FAT-IAH. AA has mainline FAT-DFW so here's crossing my fingers.

When will the world's largest airline fly to BNE on a tag from either CNS or SYD (or both)?

yes!

El Al stopped flying to ORD a few years ago. And there are a LOT more Jews in Chicago area than DC area.

I'd LOVE to see some expansion at LAX! :D

Probably the same person who updated the UA terminal maps last month showing LAX's Tom Bradley airport as "Tom Brady" :o

UA has never expressed any desire to run ORD-RNO, so I doubt we'd see EWR-RNO first. You wanna go to Reno from metro NY, best way is prolly (still)LGA-DEN-RNO via legacy UA.

Otherwise, is there demand for seasonal ski service from IAH? Would IAH-EGE or IAH-ASE work?

Bring back JFK-NRT and SFO-CDG

Is this the reason for not including SYD-MEL; an intra-Australia service??

I've long been surprised that someone hasn't been able to make a go of ORD-TLV - there seems to be a big opportunity here. There are indeed a very large number of Jews in the Chicago area, and many of them have strong ties to Israel. I'd think this route would do very well. I believe the the El Al flight was done in the downturn following 9/11.

Is it just me, or is that interactive map just really crappy? You can't really see a "map" just find a country, and drill down from there.

Someone mentioned it elsewhere, but the fact that neither offers service to Santiago, Chile is :confused: I looked at possible routing to there for a work trip, and other than routing on Copa, you're left with OW alliance flights. So that's my vote - the rest of my needs are fairly well covered already, and additional options to Brazil get my ^

IAH-JNB, I bet...eventually.

I would take this flight because there are a lot of energy industry folks in IAH flying to West Africa. Flight from IAH to JNB would make senses for connection with SA to other part of Africa. There is already a direct IAH to LAD (Luanda, Angola) all business class flight (MD-11) served by SonAir every other day.

EWR-BKK would be a great addition. As someone mentioned earlier, it would rival the EWR-SIN on Singapore Air as one of the longest flights ever. I never got to take advantage when Thai Air had their JFK-BKK route. They had to remove seats like Singapore Air did in order to lighten the load factor so the plane could fly that far. Too bad Thai Air killed that route. Probably in part their fault for refusing to market, codeshare or grant points with UA.

I also noted like others that the merger site is missing BKK, SIN, TPE, SGN, etc. Quite obviously the webbies used a quick & dirty CO interactive route map and forgot about UA's Asian direct & connecting flights from its NRT hub. The merger pdf has them all.

There was short lived Houston South Africa service in the 80s but apartheid (sanctions) ended it quickly. It would be nice to have it back.

Ciao,

I would like to see more flights from Houston to the Caribbean.... on a more frequent basis... not just weekend flights.
