New United Route on Hemisphere Magazine LAX-GRU

You know how bored you are on the award winning United entertainment options when the best you can do on the plane is to have a look at the United route map on the Hemisphere magazine.

According to the international route map United doesn't operate ORD-GRU but operates LAX-GRU route. I am sure that United used to codeshare RG's LAX-GRU when it operated.

Maybe they should ask someone to proofread the routemap who knows where United actually flies to.

Don't they have a direct LAX-GRU flight? Sure it stops in IAD, but you'll only get the miles for LAX-GRU!

I just don't get it. Does no one proofread the Hemispheres route maps?

Actually, this thread makes me think it may be there to show the JJ codeshare.

Well, it was good to see that all of the RG routes were finally removed from the route map. And RG has been defunct for how long now?!

And, btw, I always look at the route map. It helps me figure out where I want to go next.

Yeah. But those are all domestic routes. UA's international route network is not that extensive that they couldn't get it right.

Nope. They had used the color to indicate that it would be United operated service not a codeshare.
